Personality

The physical body is only one section of the tetra-dimensional body, the linga-sharirã, or vital body. The human personality is in turn another tetra-dimensional section of the human body. Beyond this is the ego (the pluralised “I”) like an upper part of the human personality. The personality dies, but its memory remains in the ego.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The “I” Is Memory

The body, the personality and the ego are still unknown to each other because the human being is subconscious. The common man can know much less again about the Soul and the Spirit.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

We become individuals only by creating the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, by dissolving the ‘I’, and by incarnating the Being. The sacred individuals reincarnate, yet, the ‘I’ only returns into a new womb in order to dress, or better if we say, re-dress itself with a new suit of flesh. The ‘I’ continues in our future or immediate descendants. The ‘I’, which is our race, our errors and our pain is what continues. Some pseudo-occultist ignoramuses mistakenly suppose that the personality reincarnates; thus, they frequently confuse the personality with the ‘I’. The personality is not the ‘I’, the personality does not reincarnate. The personality is a daughter of its time, thus, it dies in its time.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Being Is the Being

The personality is not the physical body. The personality is not the vital body. The personality is not the ‘I’. The personality is not the soul. The personality is not the Spirit. The personality is energetic, subtle, atomic, and is formed during the first seven years in our childhood, based on heritage, customs, examples, etc. It strengthens itself with time and experiences.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Return and Reincarnation

It is urgent to comprehend that inside each person three basic factors exist. First: the personality. Second: the pluralized “I”. Third: the psychic material, meaning, the very essence of the person.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Many I’s

Amongst students of psychology there exists much confusion surrounding personality, essence, and ego or self. Some confuse the personality with the essence, and others confuse the ego or self with the essence. There are many pseudo-esoteric or pseudo-occultist schools that have as the aim of their studies an impersonal life.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The second aspect is the Personality. This aspect in itself is not the physical body, even when it utilizes the physical body for its own expression in the three-dimensional world. The third aspect is the Devil, the Pluralized ‘I’ within each one of us, that is to say, the ‘Myself.

Runic Magic, 1969

The personality as I already said, is perishable, does not ever return and this is something that you should comprehend clearly; learn to differentiate between the ego and the personality, do you understand?

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

The personality develops and unfolds on the Horizontal Line of Life. The personality is born and dies with its linear time; it is mortal. A “tomorrow” does not exist for the personality of the dead person. The personality is not the Being.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in The Law of Recurrence, The Level of Being

It is quite clear that when the unfortunate boxer comes round, he regains consciousness. Consequently, anyone can understand that a clear difference exists between personality and consciousness.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

The personality should not be confused with the ‘I’. Really, the personality is formed during the seven years of infancy and the ‘I’ is the error which is perpetuated from century to century fortifying itself more and more each time with the mechanics of recurrence.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Law of Recurrence

The human personality is the carriage; the mind is the animal that pulls the carriage; the Inner-Self is the coach driver; the reins are the consciousness and the will is the whip. Woe unto the coach driver who does not know how to use the reins! Woe unto the coach driver who does not know how to use the whip, because he will remain with reins and whip in hand without being able to use them! The beast without control will drag the carriage into the abyss; then the Inner-Self will lose his carriage. Presently, there are many perverse persons who are separated from the Inner-Self. Multitudes follow a terribly tenebrous evolution in the abyss. All those persons have horns on their foreheads; those are the demons. Many of them declare themselves prophets and avatars, they found spiritualist schools; they are endowed with brilliant intellects. Some of them have fine manners and exquisite culture. Within the upper layers of the aristocracy there are thousands of select, educated and intellectual persons, and even those with mystical customs, who are already totally separated from the Inner-Self. Those souls have horns on their foreheads; they are tenebrous demons. These persons only possess the four bodies of sin (the physical, etheric, astral and mental bodies). The triune immortal spirit unfortunately no longer dwells in them and even though they live in the physical world, internally they dwell in the abyss.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Mind

Whoever complains of lack of illumination, cannot withstand the trial of the square and the compass. When the inferior quaternary loyally obeys the Spirit, the result is illumination. As long as the inferior quaternary does not obey the Spirit, that is to say, while the human personality does not know how to obey the Spirit, illumination is impossible.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is necessary to clarify that it is not the personality we must dissolve.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The personality is merely a vehicle of action, a vehicle that was necessary to create, to make.

Fundamental Education, 1970

In the world there are the “Caligulas”, the “Atillas”, the “Hitlers”, etc. Every type of personality, however perverse it may have been, can be radically transformed if the ego or self is totally dissolved.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The personality in itself is merely a vehicle and nothing more. Through the personality the ego or the Being can manifest, it all depends on us.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Being Is the Being

Below: the Ruling Power (The Intimate), the Deliberating Power (the mind), and the Executing Power (the personality).

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

The personality is time. The personality lives in its own time and does not reincarnate. After death the personality also goes to the grave. For the personality there are no tomorrows. The personality lives in the cemetery wanders about the cemetery or goes down into its grave. It is neither the astral body nor the etheric double. It is not the Soul. It is time. It is energetic and it disintegrates very slowly. The personality can never reincarnate. It does not ever reincarnate. There are no tomorrows for the human personality.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Return and Reincarnation, The Intimate Christ, The Law of Recurrence

The three known dimensions are length, width and depth. The three unknown dimensions are time, eternity and what is beyond time and eternity. This is the spiral of six curves. Time belongs to the fourth dimension; eternity to the fifth dimension; that which is beyond eternity and time, to the sixth dimension. The personality lives in a closed curve of time. She is a daughter of her time and ends with her time. Time cannot reincarnate. There are no tomorrows for the human personality.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Yesod

The circle of time revolves within the circle of eternity. In eternity there is no time, but time revolves within the circle of eternity. The Serpent always bites its own tail. A time and a personality end, but with the turning of the wheel, a new time and a new personality appear upon the Earth. The ego is reincarnated and everything is repeated. Th. last realisations, sentiments, preoccupations affections and words cause all the sexual sensations and all the amorous drama which gives rise to a new physical body. All the romances of married couples and lovers are related to the last moments of the dying. “The path of life is formed by hoofprints of the horse of death.” At death, time closes and eternity opens. The cirde of eternity first opens and then closes when the ego returns to the circle of time.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

This question of the personality, child of its time, that dies in its time merits our attention. In reality it is completely clear that if the personality were to reincarnate, time would also reincarnate, and this is absurd because time is a closed curve. A Roman man who reincarnated in these modern times of the twentieth century with the personality of the time of the Caesars, would in fact be intolerable; we would have to treat him as a delinquent because his customs would in no way correspond to those we have today.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

Axiomatically we can affirm, “A man dies because his time is up. There is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased.”

Fundamental Education, 1970

Time is circular, and the life of the human personality is a closed curve.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Law of Recurrence

The life of the human personality develops in its time, is born in its time and dies in its time; it can never exist beyond its time.

Fundamental Education, 1970

This implies that we have to return, come back to this world after dying in order to repeat the same drama of existence. However, if the human personality perishes with death, who or what returns?

Fundamental Education, 1970

Those who affirm that the Personality reincarnates are unfortunately lying, because the Personality is a child of its own time. The Personality is born in its own time and dies in its own time. There is no tomorrow for the Personality of the dead.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

The third form, I refer to the energetic personality, proves interesting for clairvoyants... It would certainly be nonsense to stress the idea of some possible Reincarnation for the Personality. This last form is the daughter of its time, is born in its time, dies in its time... There is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation

The personality does not return, is a daughter of its time, has a beginning and an end. The only thing that continues with certainty is an assortment of devils.

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in The Law of Recurrence

The personality is multiple and has many hidden depths. In it is deposited the karma of previous existences, karma in the process of fulfillment or crystallization.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Law of Karma

The impressions which are not digested become new psychic aggregates, and what is more serious, they become new personalities. The personality is not homogenous but rather heterogeneous and plural.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

An impression which is not digested which gets to form a personality within the personality, and which is not accepted, becomes a source of frightening conflicts. Not all the personalities which one carries in the personality are accepted, the latter giving origin to many traumas, complexes, phobias, etc.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

Unquestionably, this aspect of impressions deserves to be analyzed in a clear and precise manner. The personality that we have received or acquired, receives the impressions of life but does not transform them because it is practically something dead.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

Personality is the term that is applied to everything that we acquire. it is clear that it translates impressions from all sides of life in a limited and practically stereotyped manner in accordance with its quality and association.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

In this respect, in the Gnostic Esoteric Work, the personality is sometimes compared to a terrible secretary who is in the front office, who is occupied with all the ideas, concepts, preconceptions, opinions and prejudices. It has many dictionaries, encyclopedias of all types, reference books, etc., and is not in communication with the centers, in other words, with the mental, emotional and the physical centers —intellectual, motor, emotional, instinctive and sexual—, in accordance with its unusual ideas. Consequently or as a corollary, it so happens that it almost always puts itself in communication with wrong centers. This means that the impressions that arrive are sent to wrong centers, in other words, to places which do not correspond to them, producing, naturally, erroneous results.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

I will mention an example so that I will be better understood. Let us suppose that a woman attends to a gentleman with much consideration and respect; it is clear that the impressions which the gentleman is receiving in his mind are received by the personality and the latter sends the m to wrong centers. Normally, it sends them to the sexual center and this gentleman gets to firmly believe that the lady is in love with him, and as is logical, it does not take long before he rushes to make insinuations of an amorous type to her. Indubitably, if that lady has never had that type of caring for the gentleman, with much reason, she cannot, but feel surprised. That is the result of a terrible transformation of impressions. Here we see how bad a secretary the personality is. Unquestionably, the life of a man depends on this secretary who seeks transformation in its reference books without comprehending in the least, what the event means, and consequently transmits, without preoccupations for what could happen, but feeling only that it is fulfilling its duty.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Transformation of Impressions

This is our interior situation. What is important to comprehend in. this allegory is that the human personality that we acquire and which we should acquire begins to take charge of our lives.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

So, the personality lives and moves within the Law of Pendulum, it lives in the world of opposing opinions, of antithetical concepts, of the battle of antitheses. Then, the personality knows nothing and the opinion is the product of ignorance.

The Fifth Gospel The Pendular Conduct of Humanity Third Chamber Mexico City July 13th, 1977 also in The Law of the Pendulum

The human personality is formed during the first seven years and at 14 years personal energy appears and , flowing domineeringly through the sympathetic nervous system, sex appears at 35 years in its transcendental form of creative emotion. It is upon reaching this age that we can make what is called Soul. Normal man does not have a soul, or rather, he still is NOT a man, he doesn’t even have a soul.

The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in The Human Soul

Every return implies, of course, the creation of a new human personality. This personality is formed during the first seven years of childhood.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Return and Reincarnation

Family environment, social environment and school environment give the human personality its primary, characteristic quality. The example of adults is definitive for the child’s personality.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Children learn more by example than from rules. A false manner of living, setting a foolish example, the degenerated customs of our elders give to the personality of the child that peculiar, skeptical and perverse quality of the times in which we are living.

Fundamental Education, 1970

There are many children in these times that have to bear, full of pain and resentment, the lashes and beatings of a stepfather or stepmother. It is clear that in this way the personality of the child develops within the framework of pain, bitterness and hatred.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Arguments between father and mother about matters of jealousy, the weeping and lamentations of an afflicted mother, or an oppressed, destroyed and desperate husband leave on the personality of the child an indelible mark of profound sorrow and melancholy that is never forgotten throughout one’s entire life.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Jealousy

The Personality is that which is not genuine within the human being, because it is that which comes from the exterior world. It is what the human being has learned in his home, in the streets, in the school, etc.

Runic Magic, 1969

The personality is energetic, is born with habits, customs, ideas, etc. during infancy and is fortified with the experiences of life. Both the personality as well as the ‘I’ should be disintegrated. We are more revolutionary in the psychological teachings than Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Master: Personality, in reality and in truth, is something that has to be created. Every human being when he comes to the world has no personality, it is created during the seven years of childhood and it becomes stronger with time and experiences.

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

This yields, in fact, three different personalities that do not possess anything in common, either in their nature or in their manifestations.

Fundamental Education, 1970

From the psychological point of view, it is absurd to exclusively educate the intellectual personality. Man has three personalities that urgently need fundamental education.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The question of the creation and development of the personality of a child is a very serious responsibility for parents and school teachers. The quality of the human personality depends exclusively on the type of psychological material with which it was formed and nourished.

Fundamental Education, 1970

When the ego begins to control the delicate personality of the child all the beauty of the essence continues to disappear, and in its place flourish the psychological defects characteristic of every human being.

Fundamental Education, 1970

In the same way that we must make a distinction between ego and essence, it is also necessary to distinguish between personality and essence. The human being is born with the essence, but it is not born with the personality. It is necessary to build the personality.

Fundamental Education, 1970

In practice we have been able to verify that when the personality develops in an exaggerated way at the expense of the essence, the result is a knave.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The observation and experience of many years has allowed us to comprehend that if the essence develops totally without paying the least bit of attention to the harmonious cultivation of the personality, the result is an unintelligent mystic, without personality; noble of heart but incompetent and unable to adapt.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The harmonious development of the personality and the Essence yields brilliant men and women.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Human Soul

In the essence we have all that is our own, in the personality, all which is borrowed.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Human Soul

In the essence we have our innate qualities, in the personality we have the example set by the adults around us; what we have learned at home, in school and on the street.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Human Soul

Perfect balance between personality and essence, the harmonious development of thought, emotion and movement, and a revolutionary ethic constitute the foundations of fundamental education.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Revolutionary Ethics

There are two currents of thought inside each one of us: one comes from the personality; the other, from the Essence. We can also say that thoughts that come from a cultured personality, apparently, are brighter, of a substantial content; but, deep down, the thoughts that come from the Essence are of a superior nature. However, a great capacity for observing is needed to distinguish one from the other.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in The Human Soul

As the thoughts of the Essence are simpler and those of the personality are more complicated, we could get confused and believe that the thoughts of the latter, that is, of the personality, are of superior quality than those of the Essence; but such confusion is especially based on ignorance. The thoughts of the Essence, although they do not have much erudition, although they are very simple, they are of superior quality.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in The Human Soul

Disciple: How can we establish a strong personality?

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

Master: The personality must be in balance with the Essence. When the personality is stronger than the Essence, there is imbalance. When the Essence is stronger than the personality, there is imbalance. Many people from the countryside develop a marvelous Essence at the expense of the personality. When they come to the city, they are unbalanced. And if the people of the city develop the personality in an excessive way, when they go to the countryside, when they get in touch with nature, they are in imbalance. We need a perfect equilibrium between the Essence and the personality.

The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Human Soul

Upon reincarnating, the Being envelopes himself in a new mental body, a new astral body, a new etheric body and a new physical body. These four bodies form a new innocent personality; unfortunately, the “I” slowly takes over this new personality until it totally controls it.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Being Is the Being

The Mental Body, Body of Desire, Etheric and Physical Bodies incorporate the personality. The Essence, on entering into these vehicles, becomes trapped in the ego. That which returns is a fraction of the Human Soul.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Human Soul

The shadows of the failed ones are many, each disembodied person is a bunch of unconscious shadows, a bunch of larvae that live in the past, that do not become aware of the present, that are trapped in all their dogmas, in their rancid things of yesterday, in their happenings of bygone times, in their affections, in their family sentimentalisms, in their egotistical interests, in their animal passions, in their vices, etc., etc. On being reborn, the essence expresses itself during the first three or four years of infancy, then, the creature is beautiful, sublime, innocent, happy. Unfortunately, the ego begins to express itself little by little as one gets closer to the age of seven years, and comes to totally manifest itself when the new personality has been totally created. It is indispensable to comprehend that the new personality is precisely created during the first seven years of infancy and becomes strengthened with time and experiences.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Resentment & Generosity, Resentment and Generosity, Return and Reincarnation

Before the new personality is totally formed, the essence can give itself the luxury of manifesting itself with all its beauty and even make small children be quite psychic, sensitive, clairvoyant, pure, etc., etc.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

The “I of the newborn come and go. They circle around the cradle and wish to enter into the new body. However, because the newborn child has not yet built a personality; all attempts by the “I’s to enter the new body are more than impossible.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

As the new personality forms the “I’s” that come from previous existences penetrate the new body little by little.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

It is lamentable that the “I” also re-embody when the new personality of the child is built.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

The diverse "I"s which return, revolve around the newborn child, freely come and go everywhere, they would like to get into the organic machine, but this is not possible as long as a new personality has not been created. It is suitable to know that personality is energy and that it is formed with experience throughout time.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Many I’s

The "I"s start to intervene within the organic machine little by little as the new personality is being created.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Many I’s

When the ego begins to control the personality of the child, spontaneous beauty disappears, then the over-estimation of the beloved e is initiated and the child dreams with dominating the world and becoming the most powerful person of the Earth.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Bear in mind, my dear friends, that when a child is born, the following is processed: we effectively have three percent of awakened Consciousness. That three percent takes charge of the child’s organism and the other ninety-seven percent, which is made up of psychic aggregates, will go around the cradle, trying to get inside the human organism, but will not be able to do so. In order for the psychic aggregates to enter the human organism, a new personality needs to be created.

The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

That personality is created during the first seven years of childhood, and it strengthens with time and experiences. The first three or four years of the child are very beautiful: only the Essence, the Consciousness, express through the creature, that is why the child is self-conscious, awake.

The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

Only after the personality has been formed, the psychic aggregates begin to move slowly into the creature’s organism. And those psychic aggregates that were the cause of so many fights, acts of lust, jealousy, hatred, etc., in previous lives, keep waiting for the instant, the suitable age, the moment to take action.

The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

And those multiple “I's” circle the cradle, they want to express themselves, to manifest themselves, to get inside the little body of the child, but they cannot. But it happens that as time passes, the new personality of the infant is formed: it is formed with the example of elders, at the school, etc. So, as the new personality is formed, the “I’s” also have an opportunity to express themselves after the anterior fontanelle of the newborns closes. You have observed it perfectly in children that the upper parietal bone is slightly open. It is something called “the soft spot”; we say, technically, the anterior fontanelle of the newborns.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976

While it is open, everything goes well. But as that anterior fontanelle closes, the personality also develops and the capacity for the “I’s” to begin intervening becomes greater and greater. Then we begin to see in children, certain manifestations of anger –especially by the age of three and four–, they begin to become irritable and, little by little, the “I’s” get the opportunity to express themselves, until they all end up definitively manifesting themselves. It is interesting to observe newborn children.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in Anger

In the times when the Ego had not arisen in the human species, we were all like children; we could see the angels, the Gods, the ineffable beings and talk with them face to face. When the Ego developed, that happiness was lost. Likewise, when the child is born, in the beginning their Essence manifests itself, but later things change: the “I’s” begin to express themselves through the personality and eventually, the Essence remains there at the bottom, forgotten.

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

Subsequently, once the human personality is formed, in truth, all those inhuman psychic aggregates that belong to him begin to enter the body of the infant. Then one notices changes in the child: he throws tantrums, becomes annoying, jealous, angry, etc., and so on and so forth. This is unfortunate, right? But that is how it is.

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

Any work that one does on oneself with the purpose of achieving a spiritual and psychic development is always related with a very well understood type of isolation. This is because the personality is the only thing that one can develop under the influence of life as we have always lived it; anything else is impossible.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

We do not intend to oppose the development of the personality in any way. Obviously this is necessary in life. Yet, indeed the personality is merely something artificial. The personality is neither the truth nor the reality in us If the wretched intellectual mammal mistakenly called human being does not isolate himself but identifies with all the occurrences of practical life, if he wastes his strength in negative emotions, in personal self consideration and in insubstantial vain wordiness of ambiguous chattering, then nothing constructive, no real element can be developed within him, except that which belongs to this world of mechanicity.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Identification

The personality really leads human beings toward the submerged involution of the Infernal Worlds. The personality is multiple –as I told you on a certain occasion–, it has many undercur-rents, it is artificial, it forms with the customs that we were taught, with that false education that we received in schools and colleges, which separated us from the Being, and which does not bear any relation to the different parts of the Being. The personality is artificial. As it drives us away from our own profound Inner Being, obviously, it leads us on a mistaken path that takes us toward the involution of the submerged mineral kingdom.

The Fifth Gospel The Pendular Conduct of Humanity Third Chamber Mexico City July 13th, 1977

One can feel great, capable of dominating the world, with brilliant intellectuality, one is convinced of it! But if he saw himself in his crude reality, if he discovered that what he has in his personality, is not his own, but someone else’s; that the ideas he has are not his own, but are those that he read in this or that book, that he is full of terrible moral blots...

The Fifth Gospel Imagination as POWER, Fantasy as Illness

But, how can that unfoldment into two take place, that separation into two: an inferior earthly man placed in an ordinary level, and another in a superior octave, within ourselves? How could the separation of those two types of men, the inferior and the superior, really take place within us? In what way? Do you believe that this would be possible if we continue to be fascinated by this fantastic personality, that we think is reality, but it is not?

The Fifth Gospel Imagination as POWER, Fantasy as Illness also in Identification

Unfortunately, with the education that we receive from our teachers, with the example of our relatives, the personality keeps developing. Unquestionably, this personality comes to constitute something like a kind of double Consciousness, or better said, a false Consciousness. In the personality are those customs that have been instilled in us, the habits we have formed, the doctrines with which we have been educated, the concepts we have developed, the education we have received, etc. For this reason, the personality comes to displace the true Consciousness; the Consciousness remains at the bottom of oblivion without any opportunity for its manifestation.

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

The only thing that expresses through us is the false Consciousness, the false personality.

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

So, that false personality acts in a mechanical way. For every question it always has a mechanical answer; it lives according to its habits, its concepts, its opinions, its inferior emotions, its instincts, its animal impulses, etc. The activities of our human personality are unconscious, mechanical. Our personality knows nothing about what true Consciousness is, we ignore it.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Mechanical Man

An individual with a false, well-strengthened personality, is an individual who is not willing to know how to listen, who does not know how to listen; he always listens to the subjective, infra-conscious, infra-human voices of the five cylinders of the organic machine. The only voices he knows how to listen to are those of the false personality; he feels so stuffed with knowledge that it leaves no empty place where the instructor or the guru can deposit the word.

The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen

Indeed, we are wrong in the mind, in the memory, with all that our parents teach us at home, the teachers at school, our little friends on the street, etc. Besides creating an absurd personality, we are getting unbalanced with this false data of those who are in a hypnosis state of the real Consciousness, to such an extent that the real Consciousness remains cornered, remains underestimated. In it are contained, for example, the attributes of authentic faith, the real hope and the legitimate love; there is religion, wisdom; also, those particles of pain of the Father who is in secret, who suffers for our mistakes. But this data is progressively relegated, introduced into the depths wrongly classified by the famous contemporary psychologists as sub-consciousness, and some define it as human infra-consciousness, taking as real Consciousness the result of all the information we have received during our first years. An artificial, false Consciousness is formed, which is the one that is imposed everywhere.

The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

Unfortunately, the information that one receives in colleges, in schools, in educational centers, only serves to nourish, as I said, the sensory mind, but nothing else. In that way and with those current systems of education, the only thing that is really achieved is to forge, in schools, in academies, in universities, a false personality Keep in mind, my dear brothers, that, in reality and in truth, the knowledge studied in Humanities would never serve to form the psychological man.

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

These ultramodern people are not interested in the true Consciousness of the Being. They take this false Consciousness of the human personality made up by complexes, traumas, subjective reasonings, false education, etc., for the Consciousness. That is what they take for Consciousness, the false Consciousness of the personality. But the authentic Consciousness of the Being, they reject it, they forget it, they cast it aside, they leave it in a corner; it does not have the least importance to them.

The Fifth Gospel Particularities of Objective Reason Conference – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening

Our personality is merely the instrument of different people, “I’s.” Each one of those persons (“I’s”) fulfills its commitments through the personality.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in The Many I’s

Under such conditions, human personality is just a robot governed by different people who dispute for supremacy and who aspire to the supreme control of the organic machine's capital centres.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Mechanical Man

Let us reflect on the necessity of becoming the living expression of the Being... The Being is the Being and the reason of being of the Being is being itself. Let us clearly distinguish between what expression is and what self-expression is. The ego can express itself but it will never have self-expression. The ego is expressed through the personality and its expressions are subjective; it says what others said, it narrates what others narrated, it explains what others explained but it does not have the evident selfexpression of the Being. The real objective self-expression of the Being is what matters. When the Being expresses himself through us, he does it in a perfect and laconic manner.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Being Is the Being

The ‘I’ utilizes the personality as an instrument of action. Personalism results from that mixture of ego and personality. Personality worship was invented by the ‘I’. Really, personalism engenders egoisms, hatreds, violences, etc. All of this is rejected by AHimsa Personalism totally ruins esoteric organizations. Personalism produces anarchy and confusion. Personalism can totally destroy any organization.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

One is programmed: they put one into kindergarten according to a certain program; then one goes to Primary school according to the program; then to Secondary school, to “high school”, and if one is very lucky and the brain helps him a little, one is programmed to go to university. In the end, one receives a degree, this is obvious; look, it serves to earn “some beans”, as we say, but in the end, one is nothing more than a programmed robot and that is all. Consciousness has not intervened at all in that whole program. In this entire program, the personality, which is the real robot, works; it is not programmed for esoteric matters, it has not been programmed to study the mysteries of life and death; nor have they programmed this human robot to study, for example, that which is related to the subtle forces of Nature.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Mechanical Man

Thus, within our person there are thousands of persons, and each one of them is organized with its three brains. The personality is nothing more than a puppet pulled by invisible strings.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mechanical Man

The false personality, for example, is an obstacle for true happiness. Every human being has a false personality that is made by conceit, by vanity, by pride, by fear, by selfishness, by anger, by self-importance, by self-sentimentalism, etc.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Pride, Suffering

The false personality is truly problematic as it is dominated by the types of “I’s” that I have enumerated. As long as one possesses the false personality, in no way will one know real happiness. How would one know it?

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

First of all we must distinguish the personality from the false personality. The normal personality must exist, of course it has to, as it is the vehicle of manifestation that we have. But the false personality is something else. If we want to create a conscious center of gravity in us, then we have to eliminate first of all from ourselves the undesirable elements of conceit, pride, vanity, selfishness, self-love, jealousy, etc.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mechanical Man

Certainly, there is a harmful element within us which is an obstacle to the acquisition of true happiness. I want to refer, in an emphatic way, to the false personality. Unquestionably, if it disappeared, only bliss would reign in our hearts.

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

This is terrible: consider, simply, that such “I’s” correspond to the false personality. You see how harmful the false personality is.

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

All those jealousies, all these “I’s” of worries, of conceitedness –which is undoubtedly extremely serious–, the vanity –which makes so much ostentation– and finally, all of that, simply belongs to the false personality.

The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Jealousy

Human beings could be happy, if they did not possess the false personality. Unfortunately, everyone possesses it. In the absence of the false personality, we would live in a world of ecstasy. How happy we would feel! But unfortunately, everyone possesses the false personality, and this is very serious.

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

Let us think of what the happiness of the Being is and what the false personality is. The Being, in himself, is happy, infinitely happy. When one eliminates the false personality, he remains in the plenitude of the Being; he then enjoys bliss. Unfortunately, very few are those who take an interest in this kind of studies, those who really try to self-explore profoundly.

The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Suffering, The Being Is the Being

Disciple: Venerable Master, does the use of the concept “false personality” imply that there is an authentic personality?

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

Master: Certainly. The personality, in itself, is pure energy. No one is born with a personality. The personality is a child of its time: it is born in its time and dies in its time. There is no tomorrow for the personality of the dead. When we return, when we come back, when we re-incorporate in a new body, we have to create a new personality. In itself it is energy, but it becomes false, in reality and in truth, when certain “I’s” penetrate inside it and develop within it, for example: the “I” of vanity, the “I” of jealousy, the “I’s” of worries, the “I’s” of intellectualism and the mechanical “I’s” that come to use that energy, to take control, to place themselves inside that personality making it false. But if we disintegrate those “I’s”, then it becomes pure. Without those “I’s”, it is no longer false; it is an instrument to work with, but it is no longer a false personality.

The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Pride, Return and Reincarnation

Master: No, because unlike the psychic aggregates, the personality lasts as long as the physical body lasts and nothing more. The personality is a receptive instrument, the vehicle of action. When it is not false, it flows originally and lives in a pristine, pure way.

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

As long as the centre of gravity continues to be established in our illusory personality we will live in the most abominable psychological dens, though in practical life we might be splendid citizens.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion

Unquestionably, the most important thing in practical life is precisely to crystallize in the human personality, that which is called soul. What is understood by soul? All that set of powers, forces, virtues, faculties, etc., of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

When all the undesirable elements that we carry within us are reduced to cosmic dust, the Consciousness will be one hundred percent active and the personality totally at peace. It will then become, the vehicle of the Consciousness. When that happens, we will possess our soul.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Human Soul

Within us, nowadays, all that we have is a mechanical center of gravity; such center lies in the personality. Obviously, in our personality is what we were taught, the example of our elders and of the family, what we learned at school, in the street, at the restaurant, at the bar, etc. All that constitutes the personality, there we have our center of gravity.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mechanical Man

The more brilliant a personality is, the more cultivated it is, the more it stands out and others respect it. Great plenipotentiaries, great ambassadors, are respected, government ministers are respected, multimillionaires are respected, people from the upper class are respected because they have extremely brilliant personalities, they carry in their pockets that which is called money. Some possess a fascinating intellectual culture and this makes them more brilliant in appearance. So, our center of gravity, nowadays, is in the personality, unfortunately.

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

Unlike the mechanical center of gravity, which is located in the personality, the conscious center of gravity truly ends up being located in the Essence, in the Consciousness, in the animic part. That is the difference.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mechanical Man

If we manage to eliminate those heavy “I’s” of ninety-six laws which constitute the false personality, we will create a conscious center of gravity in the depths of the Essence; we will get out of the lunar mechanistic state and move to the conscious state.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Laws of the Three and of the Seven, The Mechanical Man

A passive personality is a receptive personality. It receives the messages that come from the highest parts of the Being. Undoubtedly, such messages pass through the superior centers of the Being before entering the mind; that is the advantage of having a passive personality. But it would not be possible either to have a passive personality when this is, unfortunately, controlled by very heavy elements or very difficult aggregates, related to the world of the ninety-six laws, that is, to the Tartarus region.

The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

The personality of people is active because it is controlled by aggregates of hate, pride, envy, abominable jealousy, frightful lust, selfishness – which wants everything for itself and nothing for others–, conceit before our fellow men –without foundation, because in reality and in truth we are only miserable worms of the mud of the earth–.

The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

Therefore, there could be someone who may have disintegrated the psychic aggregates, but if he does not disintegrate the personality, be will not be able to attain authentic enlightenment and the joy of living.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

A strong individuality totally replaces the personality which is a grotesque form of the Dry Mercury.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

But within the personality are all the possibilities of error, the acquired habits, the false education received, the passions and the violence. Whoever has dissolved the Ego, the “I”, he still has the personality and within the personality, there is the possibility of error.

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

And once one has gone through the Buddhist Annihilation, one has to annihilate the personality. And once the personality has been annihilated, the seventh step is reached, that of the Master. Then, as a result or sequence or corollary, one receives the Baptism of Fire, which brings Enlightenment.

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

The “I” is merely a larva; it is the same larva of the threshold, that becomes increasingly complicated; the “I” is the internal beast that controls the four bodies (physical, etheric, astral and mental bodies); this is how this monster called “Personality” is constituted. The ‘I’ of many Masters no longer wants political positions, but wants spiritual positions. It enjoys it as a leader and fights for high hierarchical positions in schools, lodges and spiritual movements. We have to put an end to the process of the I and to the personality in order to have the right to Be. We have to put an end to individuality in order to have the right to receive the Crown of Justice.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

We have to put an end to the personality and the “I” in order for the Being to be born in us; we have to put an end to individuality.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Being Is the Being

The Masters of Karma use a sacred mask which is in the form of a jackal’s head, or plumed wolf, when they are officiating as Judges. With this mask, they present themselves to the Initiates in the internal worlds. This is the cruelty of the Law of love. Experience is the unique worthwhile thing that we acquire throughout our incarnations. With the death of our personality, our four bodies of sin cease tyrannizing us and humbly submit themselves to the will of our Innermost or universal soul.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in The Law of Karma

Material emanations of the lion-faced or bestial-faced power, and the ego are precisely not only the variety of undesirable psychic elements, but moreover, they are also the personality.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Obviously, the personality must also be annihilated, and reduced to cosmic dust. The personality is never homogeneous.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The personality is Dry Mercury and Arsenic or poisonous Sulphur. This is known by the workers of the Great Work.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The personality interferes between the body and the Being. The personality serves as an obstacle for the Illumination.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All subjective interference will conclude when the personality and the ego are destroyed, and the Being will resurrect within ourselves in order to express Himself in all His Plenitude.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Being Is the Being

Three things go to the grave: 1. The physical body; 2. The vital body; 3. The personality. The physical and vital bodies disintegrate themselves little by little, in a simultaneous manner. Yet, the personality wanders around the cemetery or pantheon, and only through various centuries does it become disintegrated.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Return and Reincarnation

Two things go to the grave. The first is the physical body, and the second is the human personality.

The Book of the Dead, 1965

As we have already said, the latter is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with experiences.

The Book of the Dead, 1965

Sometimes the personality wanders through the cemetery, or leaves its grave when the mourners visit and bring flowers.

The Book of the Dead, 1965

The personality is energetic and atomic. The personality is perishable. There is no future for the personality of a dead person, it is mortal.

The Book of the Dead, 1965

The personality is not re-incarnated. The personality is a child of its time and dies in its time.

The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in The Law of Recurrence, The Words He Uses

Only the corpse and the personality of the dead man go to the grave. The vital body has more reality than the physical body.

The Book of the Dead, 1965

Within the sepulchral tomb, the physical body and the personality come to an end. However, the personality slowly disintegrates and does not always remain within the tomb since it usually wanders around the cemetery or pantheon.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation

Pseudo-Occultist literature has abundantly spoken about the Vital Body or Lingam Sarira (which is the foundation of organic life). The existence of the physical body would be impossible without the vital body. However, the vital body is not the personality. At the rate at which the cadaver disintegrates, so too does the Vital Body. Yet, the personality ambulates within the pantheon and its disintegration is slower than that of the Vital Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Three things go to the pantheon or cemetery: First, the physical corpse; second, the vital body (the latter escapes from the physical body with the last exhalation), such a vehicle floats before the sepulcher and slowly decays as the physical body disintegrates; third, the ex-personality. The latter can sometimes escape from the tomb and ambulate around the cemetery or bead for some places that it is familiar with.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

There is no doubt that the ex-personality slowly dissolves with time; there does not exist any tomorrow for the personality of the dead person; the former in itself is perish That which continues, that which does not go to the sepulcher is the ego, the myself, the very self.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

The personality is energetic, is not physical, as many persons think and after death slowly decomposes in the cemetery until it disintegrates radically.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Therefore, it is obvious that when death comes, three things go to the grave: first, the physical body; second, the vital base or organic nisus formativus –which in these current times has already been photographed–; third, the ex-personality.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975

About this one I will say the following: no one is born with a personality, it has to be created. It is created during the first seven years of childhood through the example of the elderly, through friendships, in school when one is a child, etc., and it strengthens with time and experiences. It is energetic, it is not physical. The fanatics of the doctrine of the Sadducees would never accept it. This personality, at the time of death, goes to the grave; it enters and leaves the grave, it rejoices when someone visits it; then it goes back into its coffin. It has reality, it slowly disintegrates until it finishes, until it becomes dust and ash. It belongs to the fifth coordinate.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975

The physical body in a gradual process disintegrates within the grave. The vital body floats before the sepulchre, its phosphorescent spectre at times being visible to persons who are very psychic. It disintegrates slowly as the physical body disintegrates. The personality is energetic, is formed during the first seven years of childhood, and is strengthened with time and with experiences. The personality is a child of its time; born in its time. There is no tomorrow for the personality of the defunct. After the death of the physical body, the personality is also within the grave, but it comes out when someone brings flowers, when some mourner visits. It moves about the cemetery and returns to its grave. Within the cemetery, it slowly disintegrates.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In the name of Truth we must state that the personality is formed during the first seven years of childhood and is strengthened with time and experience...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation

After the death of the carnal body, the personality goes to the grave, however it usually escapes from the tomb to wonder in the cemetery.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation

The flowers and visits of the mourners are very pleasing to discarded personalities. The disintegration process of these personalities is most often, in reality, amazingly slow. In the moments that I am writing these lines, my companions who fell on the battle fields during the Mexican Revolution, come to mind. Undoubtedly their sepulchral personalities emerged from their tombs to receive me when I visited an old cemetery, they obviously recognized me and they inquiringly questioned me, asking about my existence and way of life at present.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The personality is subconscious or infra-conscious. The personality enters and leaves the sepulcher whenever it wants.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

The personality rejoices when mourners bring flowers, it loves its relatives and dissolves very slowly until it becomes cosmic dust.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

Obviously, three things go into the grave: first, the body of flesh and bone, which rots inside the grave; second, the vital body or bioplastic body –as the Russians call it, which floats near the corpse–, it decomposes little by little as the physical body also decomposes. But there is another thing that goes into the grave: I refer, clearly, to the personality.

The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

The personality is not the physical body. The personality is energetic, it cannot be seen with the physical eyes, but it does exist! When one comes into the world, one does not come with a personality. This is formed with the example of the parents, with what one sees in school, with the experiences of life, etc. In reality and in truth, the personality is formed during the first seven years of childhood, and it gets strengthened with time and with experience.

The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

At the time of death, the human personality also goes to the grave; it enters and exits it, it comes and goes. It is perceptible to the clairvoyants. Anyone who has a little bit of extra-perception can see the ex-personality. It dissolves slowly inside the grave.

The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

Master: Maybe you are wrong, brother, in the remembering, because any esotericist knows very well that one is not born with a personality, that one must create it; and he creates it during the first seven years of childhood and strengthens it with time and experiences. There is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased. When one dies three things go to the graveyard: the physical body, the vital body and the ex-personality, which must disintegrate.

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

No one is born with a defined personality, the personality is a daughter of its time, it is born in its time, dies in its time; there is no tomorrow for the personality of the dead. This personality is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with time and experience. The personality is energetic. In the process of organic decomposition, the planetary body is dissolved first together with the vital body; the ex-personality dissolves more slowly. However, during the first few days of dissolution, that ex-personality separates from the visible and tangible matter in the physical world [so that it may appear in other places].

The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973

Master: Three things go the cemetery. First, the physical body; second, the vital seat, a kind of etheric ghost that slowly decomposes before the grave; and third, the ex-personality of the dead. No one is born with a personality. Personality, in itself, has a beginning and an end. No one is born with a personality, but it is formed during the first seven years of childhood and is strengthened with time and experience. That personality goes to the grave; sometimes it leaves the grave when someone visits it, when someone brings it flowers, and then returns to its grave. One has to have pity also for those shadows of the loved ones and bring them their flowers, of course, because it is a comfort to those shadows; our charity must also extend to these shadows.

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Develop the Inner Mind Interview – Mexico City – 1975 also in Gratitude and Kindness

Unquestionably, the ex-personality is of greater duration than the eliminated vital base. With this I would like to affirm that the vital body slowly decomposes as the physical body disintegrates, in the sepulcher.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

The personality is different, because it becomes invigorated through time with the different experiences of life, it obviously lasts longer; it is a firmer energetic note, it often resists during many years.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

It is not exaggerating in any m to affirm that the discarded personality can survive for entire centuries; it is curious to contemplate various discarded personalities talking among themselves.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

I am now talking something that to you might appear strange; I have been able to count up to ten discarded personalities corresponding to the same owner; that is ten returns of the same ego.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

However, I want to clarify this a bit more, to avoid confusion; I have said that one is not born with the personality, that one should form it, that this is possible during the first seven years of infancy; I have also affirmed that in the instant of death such a personality goes to the pantheon and that sometimes it ambulates within the same or it hides in its tomb.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Think for a moment on an ego that after each return escapes the physical body. It is clear that it leaves behind the personality.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

If we reunite for example, ten lives of the same ego we will have ten different personalities and the latter can reunite through affinity to converse in the cemetery and exchange subjective opinions.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Indubitably such ex-personalities weaken little by little, they extinguish extraordinarily until they finally disintegrate radically.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

However, the memory of such personalities continues in the causal world, among the akashic archives of nature.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Memory, Return and Reincarnation, Tiphereth

The emotional attachment of the disembodied diminishes the velocity of the quanta in such a manner that the ex-personality of the deceased can be accessible to the retina of a living person. Then, the personality of the deceased person rem palpable.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

On a certain day I found myself on the 5 de Mayo street, in Mexico City, with an old friend; I greeted him raising my arm and I continued on my way. A few days later I met a relative of my friend and, to my surprise, he told me that Mr. Garcia Peña, the one whom I had greeted, had died two months ago. Undoubtedly, this friend’s ex personality, attached to this world in which we live, made itself tangible repeating the same actions that he was mechanically accustomed to.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

It is indubitable that a close relationship exists between the energetic and atomic personality and the quanta which posses their own vibratory frequency. The disembodied, due to their emotional attachment to this three-dimensional world, customarily decrease the quantum vibration of their personalities in an unconscious manner, thus making themselves palpable and perceptible.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Now, what was it that became visible and tangible for those young folks? What was it that danced with them there, at the party? Well, actually, it was the ex-personality of the dead woman. That tends to, at times, become visible and tangible; although you do not believe it, it is true.

The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

“Sir, as I told you, he died.” The caller was perplexed, he was surprised through the phone line, the astonishment increased, I understand that he even panicked. This is possible simply because of the ex-personality of the deceased who, during the first days of death and for several months later, has a lot of power to become visible and tangible in the physical world.

The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973

However, the ex-personality is never immortal, in the end, it dissolves. What continues, what does not go to the sepulchral grave is the Ego. As I told you, it is nothing more than a group of psychic aggregates. When one, the esotericist investigator, investigates such aggregates in the fifth dimension of nature and the cosmos, he realizes that he does not possess in any way the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being as the different pseudo-esoteric or pseudo-occultist organizations maintain. The figures of the disembodied humanoids, such specters, assume gigantic and not-at-all pleasant shapes as the different aggregates penetrate and interpenetrate each other. When one of the inhuman aggregates that constitute the Myself acts independently from the whole group, then it assumes these animal figures that are more or less big, more or less small, short, tall, short, imprecise, abominable.

The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973

If a competent investigator examines a deceased in the molecular region, he realizes that this Ego does not have a truly defined personality. The personality, that person that we have known in the world – perhaps very loving and kind, very dear to us– has died, it is true, has ceased to exist, and that which continues is by no means the person. The psychic aggregates are not the person. They are a group of psychological, animalistic, infrahuman defects, and we would also say, a compendium of memories as a result of many yesterdays.

The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973 also in The “I” Is Memory

Today, the times have changed: we are beginning the New Aquarian Age and we have to isolate from this terrestrial globe those personalities that are already separated from their divine triads to cleanse the atmosphere of all evil. That is all, if this is reason for mockery on the part of lecture-hall spiritualists and occasional readers, whose fault is it? When the bridge called “Antakarana”, which communicates the divine triad with his “inferior I” is broken, then the inferior I is left separated and is sunk in the abyss of destructive forces, where it disintegrates little by little. This is the second death of which the Apocalypse talks to us about; that is, the state of consciousness called “Avitchi”. In these cases, the divine triad (Atman-Buddhi-Manas) is clothed with a new mental and astral body to continue its evolution, and the discarded personality is submerged in the state of “Avitchi”, into the most inexpressible suffering.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

It is interesting to remember that during human sacrifice, the hearts of maidens were offered to the Gods. All this contains an esoteric meaning, which the erudite ignoramuses of this century do not understand. It is clear that we do not approve of human sacrifice. These sacrifices were barbaric; millions of children and maidens were sacrificed to the Gods. These were horrifying scenes of pain; abominable. We are only reflecting, however, upon the fact of offering the bleeding heart to the Gods. This fact is tremendous. The Intimus needs to swallow the heart of man, that is to say to assimilate it, absorb it, devour the human personality that has fabricated that which is called Soul. It is truly the case that the Intimus is like a tree with many leaves. Each leaf is a human personality. The Intimus does not have one single personality as pseudo-esotericists believe. The Intimus has various personalities, and what is most astounding is that he can have them incarnated in different parts of the world.

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

Death is a subtraction of fractions; when the mathematical calculation ends, all that remains are the values of Consciousness. The values of the personality are subtracted. For the personality of the defunct there is no tomorrow, it has a beginning and an end. Trapped within the “Ego” are the values of the Consciousness. These, seen clairvoyantly resemble a legion of phantoms. This is what continues.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation

That which continues beyond the sepulcher is the Ego, the sum of diverse brutal, animallike psychic aggregates. When I contemplated my friend in the story, with pain I was able to understand that his personality had been annihilated; all that I had before my eyes was a sum of grotesque animal-like figures, penetrating and interpenetrating each other mutually to give a false appearance of a sepulchral, cold and spectral personality. What had become of my friend? Where was he? Since he had not fabricated the astral body, it is obvious that he had ceased to exist; if my friend had fabricated an astral body by means of sexual transmutation, if he had really practiced sexual magic, it is clear that he would have fabricated the sidereal vehicle and he would then have been able to continue with his astral personality in the hypersensible regions of nature; unfortunately, this had not been the case.

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

We have been told that in the precise instant of death, in the moment when the dead person exhales his last breath, he projects an electro-psychic design of his personality; such a design continues in the suprasensible regions of nature and later, comes to saturate the fecundated egg; in this manner on returning, on coming back, on reincorporating ourselves into a new physical body, we come to possess personal characteristics very similar to those of the previous life.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

When returning, the three per cent of free essence is totally impregnated in the fertilized ovum; unquestionably, we continue in the seed of our descendants. Personality is different; there is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased; personality slowly dissolves at the mausoleum or cemetery.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

In each reincorporation —return— the ego fabricates a new personality. Each person is different in each new reimbodiment.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Return and Reincarnation

When we return to this world, we have to create a new personality. This is formed with time and with the experiences. By returning to have a physical body, the Ego reincorporates itself again, I mean, the “I’s” take possession of the new body again, and then the same scenes are repeated, the same dramas, the same comedies, the same tragedies.

The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

In an ordinary person, something very different happens. Since he has made no positive or negative crystallization, that which continues beyond death is nothing but a whole bunch of devils, it has no value at all. People like that do not have a personality in the beyond; the only one they have here, they lose. Therefore, after death, the only thing that moves there is a whole bunch of devils, it has no value at all. These creatures are perishable.

Disciple: When someone self-realizes, does it infuse a certain personality with the character of eternity?

Master: Well, I could say yes. For example, a resurrected Master who can preserve the physical body, will obviously have an eternal personality in the physical world; he will have another eternal personality related to the astral body; another eternal personality in the mental world, related to the mental body; another personality in the causal world, related to the causal body.

So, there are four fundamental personalities: the physical, the astral, the mental and the causal. There are four personalities: the physical which is governed by forty-eight laws, the astral which is governed by twenty-four laws, the mental which is governed by twelve laws and the causal, which is governed by six laws.

Master: Of course, because the Masters have their physical, astral, mental and causal body. On the other hand, neophytes do not yet possess such bodies, but they only have the planetary body –the physical body– with its corresponding vital seat. Beyond that, the only thing they possess is the Ego. So, the poor profane ones have nothing but the personality, the physical personality. The personality is born in its time, dies in its time; there is no tomorrow for the personality of the dead. After death, the only thing that goes on is a whole bunch of devils; they do not have an order, it doesn’t exist.
