Slander

(Brother disciples, esoterist brothers, the tongue is a fire, a world of evil... The Aztecs have in the Temple of Chapultepec, which is in the “JINN” state, a sculpture that represents Tonatiuh with his triangular fire and the phallus in erection. Well, in this effigy the intimate relationships are perceived that exist between the Verb and Sexual Magic. When the man is fornicating, his tongue speaks evil. Defamation, murmurings, calumny are born out of a sinful tongue... No one has the right to judge anyone. No one has the right to condemn anyone! No one has the right to condemn anyone! And no one is worth more than anyone else!) TO DOMINATE NATURE 7. “For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things of the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind.”

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Logos, Mantram, Theurgy

I was still very young and did nothing more than observe and keep quiet, because my vehicles were still not ready in order for me to express myself through them, and I contented myself with just watching the bulls from the fence. But I’m still ashamed remembering certain rosicrucian meetings, which to me were useless. Everyone was talking, everyone gossiping, everyone loosing their tongues terribly in order to do away with the honor and dignity of Cherenzi just as much as Rojas. No one’s honor and private life were respected there; they only thought to talk and talk as if they were crazy, without remembering the terrible responsibility of the verb at all. It seemed as if those spiritualists of Columbia were prisoners of some strange type of dementia. It was a loud chatter of parrots talking every which way. They were saying every little thing that entered their minds without taking into any account the karmic responsibility of speech. I kept myself to listening because I was ashamed to take part in that type of personal defamation.

The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950

Gossip and slander are frustrated desire or overestimation of one’s own desire.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Desire and Will

When someone feels himself frustrated in his own desires, he then gossips against his neighbor.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

When someone overestimates his own Psychological “I,” he then gossips against his neighbor.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

All gossip, slander, intrigue, etc., has its origin in fear and in the search for security.

Fundamental Education, 1970

To avoid losing our wealth, position, power and prestige, slander and gossip are spread, murder is committed, and people even secretly pay for murders to be committed.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The Ego pleases itself with calumny, with slander, with gossip, with backbiting, with discrediting others, with denigration, defamation, etc. Yet, the Being prefers to be silent rather than profaning the Word.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The Ego is curious and perverse by nature and instinct. People say that fences, ramparts or walls have ears and it is ostensible that so do doors. The Ego enjoys when intruding into the personal things of the neighbor. Mephistopheles or Satan is always an intruder, a rumormonger, a meddler.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Many keep quiet externally; however, with their internal tongue they skin their fellow men alive. The internal, poisonous and malevolent chatter produces inner confusion.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Now, appearances are deceiving. Many times, we judge an act of others wrongly, according to our Egos, and the result comes to be, precisely, slander. And everyone slanders everyone. That is already proven!

The Fifth Gospel The False World of Appearances Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

As we progress on the path of these disquisitions, we realize that our fellow men are abnormal. ‘That John Doe said..., that someone said..., that so-and-so said...”, this is only seen on our world Earth. That of the “rumor has it”, is not seen among normal people, among normal people there is no gossip, that is typical of a world where people are not normal.

The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

A hard word follows us and later falls upon him who pronounced it, like a ray of vengeance.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

One does not only fornicate with the sexual act: there is another kind of fornication with the verb.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The improper use of words is also fornication: Fornication with the verb creates astral larvae and misfortunes. It hurts to see how people abuse the verb and fill the world with pain. Slander is the worst of all blasphemies.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

If we work with Sexual Super Dynamics, we have to comprehend that the creative energies are exposed to all kinds of modifications. These energies of the libido can be modified into powers of light or darkness. It all depends on the quality of the words. The perfect man speaks words of perfection. The Gnostic student who wishes to follow the path of the Revolution of the Dialectic should become accustomed to controlling the tongue. One should learn to handle the verb.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Vulgar, disharmonious, evil words modify the creative energy, giving them absolutely fatal types of vibrations.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

The sound of the cannon, its explosion, destroys the glass of a window. On the other hand, a soft word calms anger. But a rude and disharmonious word produces anger, or melancholy, sadness, hatred. They say that silence is golden. It is better to say: It is as wrong to speak when one should be silent, as it is wrong to be silent when one should speak!

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Anger

For example, he who criticizes other’s Religion or another’s School or another’s sect is not charitable with the word. Really, he becomes cruel and merciless... It is not what goes into the mouth that harms man but what comes out! The mouth supplies injury, intrigue, defamation, calumny, hate... All of which harms man... All the Religions are like precious pearls strung on the golden thread of the Divinity. But avoid all types of fanaticism because with it we cause great harm to man, our fellowman. Not only does one hurt others with coarse words or with refined or artistic ironies but also with the tone of voice, with an arrhythmic, disharmonious accent.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Anger, Fanaticism, Gratitude and Kindness

An ironic word signifies violence within the Mental Plane, therefore, we need to love, to adore our worst enemies.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Anger, Netzach

Not only do people kill with machine guns, shotguns, cannons, pistols and atomic bombs, but people also kill with a look that wounds the heart, a humiliating look, a look full of contempt, a look full of hatred, and people can also kill with an ungrateful action, with an evil action, or with an insult, or a hurtful word.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Gratitude and Kindness, Hatred

Many do not murmur with their lips, but they murmur with their mind and yet, they believe that they never murmur.

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 also in Lying

Innumerable devotees say bad words, some only pronounce them mentally, even when their lips speak sweetness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Many virtuous persons are cruel with people. We knew the case of a virtuous man who hurt with mean phrases a wretched person who composed a verse for him.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Many are the persons who would be capable of everything in life except killing someone, but, they kill with their ironies, with their evil actions, with wounding laughter, with a harsh word.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Gratitude and Kindness

We should not forget that every illness has psychic causes. Insults, irony, thunderous and offensive laughter, evil words serve to cause harm, illnesses, to assassinate, etc. Many parents would have lived a little longer, if their children would have allowed them. Almost all human beings are matricides, parricides, fratricides, uxoricides, etc., etc. Pity is lacking in students of occultism; they are incapable of sacrificing themselves for their fellowmen who suffer and cry.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Anger, Gratitude and Kindness

To kill, is obviously the most destructive and most corrupt act known on the planet Earth. It is written in the book of all mysteries that you can not only kill with daggers, firearms, the gallows or poison. There are many that kill with a contemptuous look, with an ironic smile or laugh; with ingratitude; or libel or slander.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Gratitude and Kindness

The illness that leads our loved ones to the grave has as its causa causorum words that kill, looks that injure, ungrateful actions, etc.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Gratitude and Kindness

I know the case of a gentleman who presently finds himself on the brink of death. This good man happened to have a cerebral embolism. The cause? Very clear: someone wrongly informed him that his sister had been a victim of fraud. Such information was later examined and proven false. This gentleman called his sister and believed a defamatory lie that she told him. He took her so seriously that it gave him a cerebral embolism. In these moments he finds himself on the brink of death. Look at this case.

For the Few, 1980

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 also in Lying

There exist words which cure and words which kill.

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

Poor Madam Blavatsky, for example, they killed her. Who killed her? All her slanderers and detractors and secret enemies, and friends –or those who called themselves friends–. They simply killed her; not with pistols nor with knives, no, no, no; they spoke badly about her, they slandered her publicly, they betrayed her, etc., and other things like that. Conclusion: the poor woman died, full of suffering.

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

But this man, who loves his sister, believed the slanderous, unfounded rumor and he took it so much to heart that it gave him a stroke. At this moment he is on the verge of death; see for yourselves this case. Therefore, negative emotions lead us to failure.

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

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, Lying

There is responsibility in words and to play with the verb is sacrilege. Nobody has the right to judge anyone; it is absurd to slander our fellowmen. It is stupid to murmur about others’ lives.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Accusing words fall upon us sooner or later, like a ray of vengeance. Slanderous, infamous words always return to the one who pronounced them, converted into rocks that hurt.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We protest about being insulted, when we ourselves have always insulted those around us. We want that our children obey us when we never knew how to obey our parents. Slander annoys us terribly when we have always defamed others and have filled the world with pain. Gossip makes us angry; we do not want anyone to say anything about us; nonetheless we went about spreading gossip and rumours, speaking ill of our fellowman, causing other people lives of distress. That is to say, we always demand that which we have not given; in all our previous lives we were worthless and deserve the worst, but we consider that we should receive the best.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Slander annoys us terribly when we were always slanderers and filled the world with pain.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in The Law of Karma

Gossip upsets us, we do not want anyone to gossip about us, however we were always involved in gossip and backbiting, talking badly about our fellowmen, mortifying the lives of others. That is, we always demand what we have not given; in all our former lives we were evil and we deserve the worst, but we suppose that we should be given the best The sick instead of worrying so much about themselves should work for others, do works of charity, try to heal others, console the afflicted, take persons who do not have with what to pay, to the doctor, give away medicines, etc., and in this manner they would cancel their karma and they would be totally healed.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Gratitude and Kindness, The Law of Karma

Those who calumniate the Hierophants of sex devolve within the womb of the Earth until the second death.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When a citizen is accused, when a citizen is designated a black magician without the “corpus delicti,” without criminal antecedents, without judicial evidences, then the accuser falls into the crime of calumny and defamation of character.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

People who dedicate themselves to the studies of occultism, Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Gnosis, yogic philosophy, etc., etc., constantly fall into the crimes of calumny, public slander, defamation of character, etc., etc.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Neither dreamer nor medium, nor any of those who enter a school of occult teaching can instantaneously achieve the state of Turiya. Unfortunately, many believe that this is as easy as blowing and making bottles, or like smoking a cigarette, or like getting drunk. Thus we see many people hallucinating, mediums and dreamers, declaring themselves to be clairvoyant Masters, illuminated ones. In all schools, including within the ranks of our Gnostic Movement, there are always those persons who say that they are clairvoyant without really being so. These are the ones w based upon their hallucinations and dreams, slander others saying, “so-and-so is fallen; so-and-so is a black magician etc., etc.” It is necessary to advise that the heights of Turiya require before hand many years of mental exercise and Sexual Magic in the Perfect Matrimony. This means discipline, long and profound study, very strong and profound internal meditation, sacrifice for humanity etc, etc.

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

In reality all the mystic schools and all the spiritualist movements are full of misguided pseudo-clairvoyants who cause more harm than good. They are the ones who give themselves the title of Master. Among them abound famous reincarnations. The John the Baptists, of whom we know more than a dozen, the Mary Magdalena etc., etc. This type of person believes that initiation is as easy as blowing bubbles. Based on their supposed Mastery arid their absurd visions created by their morbid mentality, they prophesy and excommunicate others at their whim, as they like, slandering people and denominating others black magicians, asserting that certain people are fallen etc., etc.

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

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, Lying

The attitude of slandering neighbours and destroying families with false prophesies is proper of hallucinated ones, of people who dream of being awakened.

Runic Magic, 1969

The result of this mistaken course of action is that the devotee attracts a lot of karma upon himself because he has become a slanderer of his fellowman, and he therefore fills the world with pain and tears.

The Yellow Book, 1959

If the clairvoyant has not reached initiation, he will confuse the past with the present and then he will slander his wife saying, “She is being unfaithful to me; she is an adulterer because I am clairvoyant and I am seeing her in the internal worlds committing adultery.” The memories of our past reincarnations exist within the subconscious of nature.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Clairvoyance

If a clairvoyant penetrates into the infraconscious of nature, there he will discover all the evil of the human species. The Satan of every human being dwells within the infraconscious of nature. If the clairvoyant has not received initiation, then he will see the Satan of the Saints continually reliving the crimes and evil actions that the saints committed in their ancient reincarnations, before they became Saints. The inexperienced clairvoyant, who lacks initiation, will not know how to truly distinguish between the past and the present; between the Satan of a man and the true Being of a man. The result will be calumny. The inexperienced clairvoyant will say, “That man believes he is a saint, yet he is an assassin, a thief, and a terrible black magician. I know this, because I saw it with my clairvoyance.” This is precisely what we call slander. Many clairvoyants have become horribly degenerated slanderers. One of the grave dangers of slander is homicide.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Clairvoyance

Within the infraconscious of nature, a jealous, distrustful, and unworthy man will find that all of his doubts and suspicions become reality. He then begins to slander his wife, his friends, his neighbors and the masters by saying, “You see, I have reason for my doubts: my friend is a thief, or a black magician, or an assassin; my wife is committing adultery, just as I suspected. My clairvoyance never fails me, I am never mistaken!”, etc.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Jealousy

Arrogant and proud clairvoyants slander their fellowmen and fill the world with tears. The clairvoyant has to be as serene as a lake in Nirvana. The entire panorama of the universe is then reflected on that very pure lake. Upon the turbid waters of a mind filled with reasoning, pride, preconceptions, social prejudices, spiritual platitudes, anger, egotism, etc., only the tenebrous images of the abyss are reflected.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Anger, Clairvoyance

Upon the surface of the waters, the inverted silhouettes of the trees are reflected. Every Master of glory also has his shadow in the abyss. When the clairvoyant is full of prejudices, he takes the shadow for reality. This is how the great Masters of the White Lodge have always been slandered by clairvoyants.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Clairvoyance

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, Lying, The Klipoth

Slandering initiates sink into the abyss. Slandering initiates lose their degrees arid initiations. In other words, they fall.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Klipoth

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 also in Lying

The black magician develops tenebrous clairvoyance. The frontal chakra of the black magician works only in the abyss. The tenebrous ones take the shape of Masters and also friends of Masters in order to perform horrible acts within the atomic infernos of nature. Actually, the clairvoyants of Jezebel calumniate their neighbours when they are in contact with these disguised tenebrous beings.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Clairvoyance

The true illuminated clairvoyant is not capable of calumniating his neighbour. The true illuminated clairvoyant sees without the presence of the “I”. The illuminated clairvoyant uses his faculty with supreme wisdom in order to advise and help his neighbour. We need to decapitate Jezebel. We need to place the clairvoyance under the service of the Immolated Lamb. We need to prophesy with wisdom.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Clairvoyance, Gratitude and Kindness

We know of the case of a paranoid clairvoyant who slandered a virtuous mother, accusing her publicly and pointing her out as an adulterer and a witch, etc., etc. This poor innocent and virtuous woman was mocked publicly by the paranoid clairvoyant. We also know about another case where the clairvoyant was a neurasthenic; he slandered and threatened to death a virtuous and honorable citizen accusing him of being a warlock and asseverating that he was endowed with diabolic powers.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

In many spiritualistic schools, the subconscious clairvoyants may skin their neighbors alive. They calumniate the innocent; they accuse them of witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, adultery, robbery, extortion, etc. Nobody escapes them; they slander everyone.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

Constantly, we hear those subconscious calumniator clairvoyants utter phrases such as the following: “A fellow is a black magician and he is putting a spell on me,” or “The lady ‘X’ is committing adultery with the gentleman ‘Y.’”

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

They affirm it, even when the slandered woman may be a saint. Those clairvoyant ignoramuses lack respect for others.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

When the Sacred Fire opens the frontal chakra, which is the Church of Philadelphia with its two marvelous petals and its immeasurable brilliance, then we can see clairvoyantly. People are accustomed to live theorizing and swearing to things that they have never seen. It is necessary to awaken clairvoyance to see the great internal realities. The frontal chakra is the throne of the mind. When study and clairvoyance advance in a balanced and harmonious form, then we enter the temple of true wisdom. Many affirm what they have read, repeating borrowed enlightenment. This class of people believe that they know, but have never seen that which they have read. They are repeating like parrots; that is all. These people do not know any thing. They are ignorant people. They are erudite ignoramuses. To know one must first be. Clairvoyance is the eye of the Being. Being and knowing should advance in a parallel and balanced manner. Those who have read a great deal of occultism feel that they are wise. If these poor people have not seen what they have read, one can be quite sure they know absolutely nothing. There are seers of all types in the world. The true clairvoyant never goes about saying so. Every student of occultism when he experiences the first clairvoyant visions has the tendency to tell the whole world. Then others laugh at him, and since the vibrations of these people are negative, finally the novice ends up losing the balance of the mind. Clairvoyance without initiation leads students into error and even to the crime of calumny, abuse, and sometimes even to homicide. Some one who has flashes of clairvoyance sees for example his wife in astral committing adultery with a friend. If the seer does not have initiation, and if he is jealous, he could then assassinate his wife or his friend, although the unfortunate one may be a saint, or his friend may be true and loyal. One must take into account that in the astral the human being is Legion, and each pluralized “I” repeats actions committed in previous lives. The Great Masters of the White Lodge have been calumniated by seers. Every Master has a double exactly the same as him. If the Master preaches chastity, his double preaches fornication, if a Master does good works, his double does bad. He is exactly his antithesis. In all these things we can only trust those clairvoyants who have reached the Fifth Initiation of Major Mysteries. Furthermore, we should keep in mind that before the Fifth Initiation of Major Mysteries the human being does not have his Christified vehicles at his disposal to serve as the temple of his Internal God. Neither the Soul nor the Christ can enter people who do not have the vehicles in order.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Clairvoyance, Jealousy, The Level of Being

The clairvoyant should also develop all of the chakras so as not to fall into grave error. The majority of clairvoyants have made great mistakes. Almost all the famous clairvoyants have filled the world with tears. Almost all the great clairvoyants have slandered people. Clairvoyance poorly used has caused divorce, assassination, adultery theft etc., etc. The clairvoyant needs logical thought and exact concept. The clairvoyant should have perfect mental balance.

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

The Initiates of the Fourth Way—the Way of the astute man—designate the process of the dissolution of the “I” as the “Work with the Demon”. The tenebrous ones often violently attack us. All those who work on the dissolution of the “I”, though not demons themselves, are nevertheless often surrounded by demons. When clairvoyants, who are not Initiates, see a man such as this, they wrongly judge him, calumniating him as a demon. The Initiates of the Way of the astute man become enigmatic. The disciples of the Path become confused when they contemplate black candles on the altars of such Initiates. Then, as is natural, they wrongly judge them.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Clairvoyance

When one becomes conscious of others and of oneself, one no longer criticizes, one no longer says: ‘That person is a thief, so-and-so is a killer”; one no longer says it, one is conscious of oneself, and knows that many times one has stolen, that many times one has killed. One no longer says: “So-and-so is a big-mouth, he is a gossiper”, because one knows that many times one has talked, that many times one has been a gossiper.

The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

“The one who feels pain or feels hurt when slandered, accused or false witness borne against him, it is a sign that he still has alive the ‘I’ of pride.”

The Revolution of the Dialectic

With words of hatred, the fiendish ones slander the Adepts who work in the Great Work of the Father.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Hatred

In the mind there are many representations that we must take into account. Suppose that we have in the mind the representation of a friend whom we value; someone –it does not matter who– speaks to us against this friend; all kinds of gossips, slander, etc. are raised against him. If we listen to all that gossip, then the image we have of our friend, the representation, is in fact altered.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Sides of Human Virtues Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1977

It may be the case that those who spoke against our friend, judged him wrongly, slandered him consciously or unconsciously, etc., but the representation of the mind is altered and that is very serious, because that representation becomes, in fact, a demon that comes to hinder our esoteric advance, a demon that forestalls us, a demon that is an obstacle to our profound inner development.

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

Let us suppose that the insult had words that were going to hurt our self-love, but if the “I” of self-love does not exist, who would suffer? Suppose the words were meant to slander us, to say that we are thieves. Let us suppose that we, in reality and in truth, are not thieves in the first place, and secondly, well, we do not have the “I” that loves itself so much, that of self-love. Who would suffer?

The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Anger, Suffering

Desire of gossip and slander are transmuted into words of wisdom and love.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Desire and Will

A soft word pacifies anger. Persuasion has more power than violence. If a violent person wishes to attack, one directs a friendly word to him and this mollifies his violence. It is for this reason that in Arcanum number 11 there is a woman opening the jaws of a lion; that is the living force of Persuasion.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Anger

The most difficult thing in life is to learn how to control the tongue. At times, to speak is a crime, and sometimes to be silent is a crime. There are felonious silences; there are iniquitous words.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

The perfect man is he who knows how to keep silent when his “Inner-Being” does not speak.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Ego is a charlatan, jabberer, chatterer, prattler; it is garrulous, loquacious, gabby, talkative, babbling, etc. Yet, the Being utters strictly what is indispensable. He never plays with the Word.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The Ego likes to swear, denigrate, abominate, detract, etc. Yet, the Being only knows how to bless, love and forgive.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Seventy Times Seven, The Being Is the Being

The Ego enjoys grievance, discord, disputes, quarrels, altercations, wranglings; it is a friend of revolts, conflicts, grudges, disputes, litigation, discussions, complaints, wars, etc. By antithesis, we assert that the Being is distinct: He loves peace, serenity, He is an enemy of harsh words, He abhors altercations, squabbles. He says what he has to say and afterwards he keeps silence, allowing his interlocutors complete liberty to think, to accept or reject; thereafter, he withdraws.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Anger, Resentment & Generosity, Resentment and Generosity, Seventy Times Seven, The Being Is the Being

It is obvious that the Initiate is very well dead because he dissolved the ‘I’; therefore, he has only the Being within himself and since the Being is of a divine nature, it is ostensible that he is incapable of calumniating the neighbor. The Being does not offend anyone. He is perfect in thought, word and action. The Ego hurts, abuses, damages, insults, mistreats, aggravates, etc.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Anger, The Being Is the Being

Chatting is something mechanical by nature. The talker or chatterer, the one who chats, is the individual who does not have Consciousness of what he is saying, he speaks mechanically. Conference is something else. A conference is that of a Socrates with his disciples in his Academy, or that of a Plato in the Mysteries of Eleusis; that is conference. There is reflection there. In this case, the one who gives a conference, the one who gives the teaching, speaks out of profound reflection, out of the evident reflection of the Being; he chooses the right words for each idea, and so he clothes the idea with exact words, an obvious result of the self-reflection of the Being. The one who gives the conference, who gives the Gnostic esoteric teaching, would in no way speak mechanically. Observe that the reflective men, when they talk, they do it manifestly concentrated, they choose the terms they need to clothe the transcendental ideas of the Being.
