Transformar las impresiones

Did someone hurt us, insult us? Let us immediately transform that impression, let us receive with pleasure that unpleasant manifestation and its digestion will be instantaneous. Then Hydrogen-48 will have transformed into 24. We saw a bar, someone offered us a drink, we did not want to drink, magnificent! Let us transform that impression immediately. Let us become conscious of what alcohol means. Obviously, upon abstaining from drinking, we will have transformed an impression; like that, we will have transformed it into hydrogen-24. And if we go a little deeper, if we understand better the work that we have done, then, unquestionably, that Hydrogen-24 will transform into 12, and even into 6.

There are impressions which are not so pleasant, for example: The words of an offender, isn’t that so? Could we transform the words of an offender? Words are as they are, therefore, what could we do? Transform the impressions which such words produce in us and this is possible. The Gnostic Teaching teaches us how to crystallize the Second force, the Christ in us, through the postulate which says: “One has to receive with gladness the unpleasant manifestations of our fellowmen.” In the previous postulate is found the way to transform the impressions which the words of an offender produce in us. Receive with gladness the unpleasant manifestations of our fellowmen. This postulate will naturally lead us to the crystallization of the Second Force, the Christ in us; it will cause the Christ to come and take shape in us.

Do they want to see us happy? Give us a few pats on the shoulder and we are happy. But if that someone feels like seeing us sad, he tells us a few harsh words, hurts our self-love and we immediately make a long face. That is, we are not the owners of ourselves, we are mere puppets moved by everyone, victims of all our fellow men. Why? Because we have not learned to transform impressions. One has “to learn to receive with pleasure the unpleasant manifestations of our fellow men”. Therein lies the ultimate key for the transformation of impressions.
