The Consciousness

Wherever there is life, there exists the consciousness. Consciousness is inherent to life as humidity is inherent to water. The yearning for consciousness and spirituality cannot be repressed. In Soviet Russia there exist today fifteen million Muslims. It is evident that the materialism of Marx has failed totally. Every machine is organized according to laws. Every machine has its rudder, its lever from which it is governed, and a pilot who controls it and conducts it. Why then should our human organism be an exception? The human body is a perfect machine built in the workshop of Nature by the Cosmic Consciousness. This machine has its rudder and lever from which it is governed and conducted.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Consciousness is the light which the unconscious does not perceive.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

If people were awake, our fellow-men would feel us in themselves. Then, obviously, there would be no wars and the whole Earth would truly be a paradise. The light of the consciousness, giving us true psychological balance, comes to establish each thing in its place, and what before was in intimate conflict with us, is left in fact in its suitable place. Such is the crowds' unconsciousness that they are not even able to find the relation existing between light and consciousness.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Our Being has many parts and Stella Maris is one of those intimate parts of the Being. If one appeals to that part of the Being, if one begs that part of the Being, then we will be helped. That part of the Being can disintegrate, pulverize those two “I’s” of our example; she can reduce them to ashes, and the Consciousness, which was bottled up in each of them, is freed. That Consciousness is light, that light is Consciousness. You see, then, the intimate relationship that exists between light and Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Science of Meditation, The Twelve Powers Are Within Us, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Within ourselves there is an impenetrable, profound, abysmal darkness, but as long as the “I’s” keep disintegrating, the Consciousness, which is light, keeps making its way through that darkness. But the most profound darkness does not understand it. Remember that phrase of the Gospel that says: “The Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness did not understand it”. That light keeps making its way through the abysmal depths of our own interior, and, finally, the light overcomes the darkness. Light is Consciousness, Consciousness is light, but people do not understand the intimate relationship between light and Consciousness, between Consciousness and light.

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

There will come a day when light will triumph within us, and then we will be enlightened. Darkness is unconsciousness, light is awakened Consciousness. When light triumphs over darkness, we will shine in the infinite space; we will have truly achieved becoming Masters of Samadhi, true Enlightened Masters, true shining Masters.

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

In death, we can establish a permanent center of consciousness within our inner essence. That center is what is called soul. Only a man with true soul can have continuity of purpose. Only in a man with soul are there are no internal contradictions. Only when there are no internal contradictions can we find true inner peace.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Human Soul, The Many I’s

Besides the Ego, that which is called Essence, Soul, Fraction of a Soul, Buddhata, Consciousness, exists inside the lunar bodies. It is that Consciousness that we should awaken here and now.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, The Essence

Here in this world we have the Consciousness, here we should awaken it if we truly want to stop dreaming and live consciously in the superior worlds.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The person with awake consciousness, lives, works, acts consciously in the superior worlds while his body rests in his bed.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

The Consciousness, the Essence, the Buddhata, that Embryo of Soul which every creature carries within is always the innocent victim of all those granulations of the Negative Sexual Fohat.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Kundabuffer

It is lamentable that our consciousness is bottled up within those multiple Demonic “I’s” which in their conjunction constitutes the Lunar Ego, the Myself, the Oneself.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Many I’s

Atman unfolds into Buddhi, and Buddhi into Manas, just as if we were to see ourselves in a mirror, and then the Trinity comes into being. The Essence is an unfoldment of Superior Manas, that Essence being in turn trapped in the “ego.” The awakening of that Essence is the awakening of consciousness; is to become conscious of the Mysteries of Life and Death. Many want to awaken consciousness, but in a given moment, abandon the work. Due to this, the Maithuna was never communicated to anyone before awakening consciousness. The Christmas Message 1968-69 contains the Runes for awakening consciousness.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Awakening, The Being Is the Being, The Essence, The Human Soul

That fraction is called “Essence”; in Japanese Zen it is simply called “the Buddhata”. It is the psychic material with which one can, and must fabricate the Embryo of Gold (see the book: “Mystery of the Golden Blossom”).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Essence, The Human Soul

Desire, fornication, and the ego’s desire to thrust forward: all these produce disturbance and disorder. This is an adulterated creation — it unquestionably stays outside the divine realm — inside whic h the Essence, the Buddhata or psychic material of all humans, remains trapped.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

All of the processes related to sexual transmutation are made possible through the intercession of the vital body. The vital body is the architect who elaborates the blood and the semen in the human organism; it is Vulcan who transmutes the seminal liquor into Christic energy. The vital body is the vehicle of the Soul-Consciousness in the human being. The consciousness is the flame and the vital body is the candle wick. Vulcan exists in the microcosmos and the macrocosmos, in man and in Nature. The Great Vulcan of Nature is Eden; this is the etheric plane.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Yesod

By awakening the Essence we create a Soul to awaken the Essence is to awaken Con&. To awaken consciousness is equivalent to creating within us a PCC. Only the one who awakens consciousness becomes an individual, however, the individual is not the end, later, we have to reach super-individuality.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Many I’s

The Essence, bottled up among each “I”, is Consciousness and will. This is something we must comprehend thoroughly. The Essence is a fraction of the soul, universal will. When the essential will is released, it is then mixed or fused with the universal will and, for that reason, it becomes omnipotent and sovereign.

The Fifth Gospel The Liberating Power of the Will Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City April 23rd, 1975 also in The Essence, The Human Soul

“Nephesh” is the Human Soul or Causal Soul, from where, precisely, the Essence that each one has in his interior is derived. This Essence, we have to awaken it; it is the part of the Consciousness that we have within. This Essence, we have to activate it. Unfortunately, it is asleep, it is inside the inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry within us.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul

That said, we need to pay close attention to what we are talking about if we really want to awaken Consciousness. First of all, what is this Consciousness that we are willing to awaken? It is the Essence. Well, that is indeed correct.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul

In the same way as life represents a gradual and ceaseless process of externalisation and extraversion, the death of the ego is a process of gradual introversion. In the latter, the individual Consciousness, the pure Essence slowly divests itself of its useless clothing — the same as Ishtar in her symbolic descent — and thus, naked, it awakens to the Great Reality of free life in motion.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

Then, that intellectual knowledge that one acquires in school, etc., is relative, it is not anyone’s property. That of one’s own is that which one carries of the Essence, it is the Consciousness, it is the soul; that is indeed one’s own. Everything else is temporary. So, the harsh reality is that the Consciousness is asleep, unfortunately, and this is the saddest thing, it is asleep!

The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Fascination, The Essence

The worthiest thing, the most decent thing that we have in the depths of ourselves is the Essence, the Consciousness. Unfortunately, this is bottled up among all those “I’s”, among all those other persons that live within ourselves.

The Fifth Gospel Of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

When we break those “I’s” into pieces, then the Consciousness will be liberated. A liberated Consciousness can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities that are beyond death. A liberated Consciousness can unleash storms, provoke hurricanes, walk on fire without getting burned, etc. A liberated Consciousness is the enlightened Consciousness, is the Consciousness of a super-man, is the Consciousness of a powerful God with formidable powers over life and over death.

The Fifth Gospel Of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976

Well, the Essence is the worthiest, the most decent thing that we have inside us. It originally comes from the Milky Way. There the musical note “LA” resonates, then it goes to the Sun with the note “SOL”, and then it comes to this physical world with the note “MI”. The Essence is beautiful, it is a fraction of one’s human-Christic principle, which is the Human Soul, which normally dwells in the causal world. Therefore, with just reason, there is talk about the Christic-Essence or of the Christic-Consciousness, and it is said that our Consciousness in Christ can be saved, etc.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light also in The Essence, The Human Soul, Tiphereth

Have you perhaps reflected on what the consciousness is? With what could we compare that which is the consciousness? A ray of light that one can direct to one place or another, that is obvious. We must learn how to place the consciousness where it must be placed. Wherever our consciousness is, there we are. You are listening to me in these moments, but are you sure that the consciousness of each one of you is here? If it is here, thank you. But, are you sure that it is here? Can it be that at this moment it is at your house? Can it be that it is at the tavern? Can it be that it is at the supermarket and that here we are only seeing the personality or façade of this or that brother? Therefore, wherever the consciousness is, there we are.

For the Few, 1980

Thus we need to make ourselves masters of our own consciousness, to place it where it must be placed, to situate it where it must be situated, to learn how to put it in a place and learn how to remove it. It is a marvelous gift, but it is a gift that we are not using wisely. Really, the only thing that we have within is the consciousness. It is the most decent thing that we have. The diverse psychic aggregates that we carry are in no way decent. The only decent thing, the only real thing, that which is worthwhile, is the consciousness. But it is asleep; we do not know how to handle it. The psychic aggregates take themselves where they want. Really, we do not know how to use it, and that is lamentable.

For the Few, 1980 also in Awakening

The Consciousness is something that one has to learn to place intelligently where it must be placed. If we place our Consciousness in a bar, it will be processed according to that bar; and if we place it in a brothel, it will be processed there; and if we place it in a market, we will have a good merchant or a bad merchant. Wherever the Consciousness is, there we will be.

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

Unquestionably, Consciousness is what is interesting. And Consciousness is love; love and Consciousness are two parts of the same thing. If one truly intends to become conscious of oneself, he will become conscious of others.

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

I already said: to love others we really need to have Consciousness. Love and Consciousness are the same thing. Consciousness is love. If one does not have consciousness of others, obviously, one is not loving others. One has to become conscious of others. And how would one become conscious of others if one has not become conscious of oneself? One must begin by becoming conscious of oneself, before becoming conscious of others.

The Fifth Gospel Of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening, Gratitude and Kindness

“The way a human being thinks, this is how his lift is.” (Buddhist Dhammapada 1.1) The false consciousness was born from the erroneous way of thinking that there is a separation between him and his creator, between him and his fellowmen. The “I” was born from this erroneous state of consciousness. The “I” has its abode within the four bodies of sin: physical, ethereal, astral and mental. The “I” was born within the human consciousness after Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

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 also in Personality

So too, Consciousness, deep down, vibrates with the whole cosmos. But what does the personality know about that? Our life unfolds within a total subjective mechanism. We know nothing about the real, we don’t have consciousness of the mysteries of life and death; we do not know why we act, why we live, what we work for, what is the purpose of our existence. We are immersed in the most supine ignorance. And the false Consciousness has displaced the true Consciousness. This false ostentatious Consciousness can sometimes be surprising, but it obviously works mechanically. We are mechanical puppets, to speak more clearly, simple robots programmed for this or that profession, for this or that art, for this or that trade or job.

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

Master: There was a process of excision of the Consciousness, excision or division of the Consciousness. That is, part of the Consciousness could have remained imprisoned within the physical vehicle and the personality, and part of it outside the personality. It was a process of excision of the Consciousness.

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

So if we look at this doll called a human being, we see that there is nothing human about it, given that it is a humanoid, a kind of robot which spends his life reacting to the impressions of the outside world. It is like a double Consciousness. On the one hand, there is that personal Consciousness, which is nothing more than the result of received education, of customs, of impressions, of all that exterior automatism. They have put thousands of things into one’s head and one responds to all impressions with all the data that one has accumulated in the brain. That gives one, together with habits, together with prejudices, etc., that overtone of false Consciousness which every person has. Unfortunately, everyone gets to believe that this is the true Consciousness.

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

Now, the authentic Consciousness, the legitimate Consciousness is that of the Being, that of the Essence. It is the real Consciousness, which is put aside over there, discarded.

The Fifth Gospel Particularities of Objective Reason Conference – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Being Is the Being, The Essence

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, Personality

Since childhood many absurd things have been taught to us; a false Consciousness has been formed in us. At school, we were made to learn by memory many theories that have been of no use to us. The family taught us many customs, we acquired many habits, and with all of that we really formed a false, mechanical Consciousness, which knows nothing of what is real or of truth. Subjective reasoning is based on the perceptions of the external senses, and nothing more; it cannot, therefore, lead us to what is real.

The Fifth Gospel A Call to Intelligent Rebellion also in Memory, The Mechanical Man

There are Nine Initiations of Lesser Mysteries and Nine Initiations of Greater Mysteries. Initiation is your own life. Initiation is of the consciousness and sex. Our consciousness is a spark detached from the great Cosmic Consciousness. We had mineral, plant and animal consciousness. Now we have human consciousness. Later we shall have Angelic, Archangelic, Seraphic consciousness, etc. To say, this is good, this is bad, is very difficult. To say that 2 and 2 is 4, is very easy.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

The change of consciousness is the true objective of esoteric discipline.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

We need cosmic consciousness: this is the sense of consciousness of the cosmos; this is the life and order of the universe.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Cosmic consciousness brings into existence a new type of intellectualism: the Illuminated Intellection. This faculty is a characteristic of the Superman. There are three types of consciousness. First; simple consciousness. Second; individual selfconsciousness. Third; cosmic consciousness. The animals have the first, the intellectual animal called man, the second. The Gods have the third. When cosmic consciousness is born in man, he feels internally as if the Fire of the Serpent were consuming him. The flash of Brahrnãnic Splendour penetrates his mind and his consciousness, and from that instant he is initiated into a new and superior order of ideas. The Brahmanic delight has the flavour of Nirvana.

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

When someone possesses a living Consciousness of the stars, it is obvious that developing this would be correct. In what form could we develop it? We think that it would be more feasible to awaken it. Obviously, the indication would be even more precise. The seed of a tree, for example, is susceptible to development, evolution and progress. But if the Consciousness is complete by itself and it came from the Milky Way and is a natural cosmic faculty of cognition, certainly, it is not development that is needed, what is required is to awaken it.

The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974 also in Awakening

This technique of meditation with its non-thinking, puts to work the most central part of the mind, the one that produces the ecstasy. Remember that the central part of the mind is that which is called Buddhata, the essence, the consciousness. When the Buddhata awakens we remain illuminated. We need to awaken the Buddhata, the consciousness.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Science of Meditation

These days, the poor intellectual animal falsely called man, only has one useful element within, the aforementioned element is the Buddhata, the essence of the mind, with which we can experience the Being, the Intimate, what is real. This precious element is placed within the bottle of the animal intellect. When during interior profound meditation the mind remains completely quiet and in absolute silence within and without, not only in the superficial level, but also in all the different subconscious corridors, layers, zones, and spheres, then the essence, the precious element, escapes from the bottle and fuses with the Being, with the Intimate, in order to experience reality.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Inner Silence, The Essence, The Science of Meditation

The mind has many depths, regions, subconscious terrains, recesses. However, the best part is the essence, the consciousness, and this is in the center.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in The Subconscious

When dualism is done away with, when the mind becomes integrated, serene, quiet, profound, when it no longer compares, at that time the essence, the consciousness awakens, and this must be the true aim of fundamental education. Let’s distinguish between objectivity and subjectivity. In objectivity there is awakened consciousness. In subjectivity there is sleeping consciousness, subconsciousness. Only objective consciousness can enjoy objective knowledge.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Essence, The Mind, The Subconscious

In those moments, the Essence, the Buddhata escapes from within the intellect. Then, while in the absence of the ‘I’ it experiences ‘That’, which does not belong to time…

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Inner Silence, The Science of Meditation

It is only in the absence of the ‘I’, in the absence of the mind, that the Buddhata can awaken to unite with the Inner Self and take us to ecstasy.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Awakening

The Buddhata is the best that we have within and awakens with profound inner meditation.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in The Science of Meditation

The encephalon is governed by the mind, yet the mind is not governed by the encephalon. The encephalon is the instrument of emotions and of the consciousness, yet the encephalon neither produces emotions nor consciousness. What is logic cannot be refuted by ignorance. Logic is logic. The people who affirm that the brain produces thought, emotion, and consciousness are ignorant, because they have not studied the Mental Body. So, we cannot, based on our ignorance, refute what is factual. It is necessary for the ignorant to study.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in The Mind

Consciousness in itself is a type of energy with a very high frequency of vibration. We should not confuse consciousness with memory, since they are as different from each other as the light of the car's head lamps in relation to the road upon which we drive. Many acts take place within ourselves with no participation whatsoever of that which is called consciousness.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Memory

The awake consciousness is not the mind, neither is it memory nor anything similar. Only the liberated consciousness is capable of directly experiencing for itself the reality of life free in its motion.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening

We must emphatically affirm however, that as long as any subjective element exists within us, consciousness will remain bottled among such element and hence will be unable to enjoy continuous and perfect enlightenment.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Master: Well, I will tell you: the intellectualism of mechanical people is nothing more than articulated memory or talking memory. Another thing is the living wisdom of the awakened man. The awakened man no longer uses reasoning, he is no longer a chatterbox. When he speaks of something, he speaks with full Consciousness, he chooses the terms that he has to use at will in order to clothe the transcendental ideas of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening, Memory, The Mind

Our consciousness awakens to more elevated states of the Being and of life. Knowledge that does not become consciousness is useless. Millions of spiritualist students study our books. Intellectual knowledge of written truths is useless; the important thing is to have consciousness of these truths.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Awakening

The students of spiritualist schools are parrots who repeat what they read, that is all. Therefore, the important thing is the awakening of consciousness. The intellect is a function of the animal soul.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Awakening

Gravest of all is that the student finishing school, though he has had intellectual preparation, does not have intelligence; his consciousness is asleep. He has insufficient preparation for life’s struggles.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

When the knowledge has become emotional, when it has been deposited in the emotional center, it is finally absorbed in the Essence, that is, in the Consciousness, and the knowledge that becomes part of the Consciousness is never lost; not even with the death of the physical body, because when we return, we bring it with the Consciousness. But that which is exclusively deposited in the memory is lost sooner or later. For this reason, my dear brothers, it is advisable to deposit the knowledge in the Consciousness.

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

I repeat: first, one has to study; then, deposit all the information in the learning center – memory–; then try to capture, to apprehend the intimate sense of that which we have deposited in the memory. When we do this, we feel, within that knowledge, something sentimental or touching or emotional, for us to be clearer, because it then passes onto the emotional part of the intellectual center; so, it leaves the memory and passes to the emotional part of the intellectual center. But if we insist on trying to apprehend or capture the essence of the knowledge, it will become emotions, vivid emotions, it will pass onto the emotional center, and new meditations will make it become conscious. This will happen when finally, the emotional knowledge immerses into the Essence, into the Consciousness. This is the process that the knowledge must undergo so that it becomes conscious.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in Memory, The Centres of the Human Machine, The Human Soul, The Science of Meditation

The superior emotion allows any truth to pass onto the Essence, where it gets deposited. But the cold analytical intellect of an Aristotle, for example, is completely crippled, it would never allow knowledge to become conscious, it would remain strictly deposited in the memory and that is all. That is why between the Aristotelian systems –which is pure and cold reasoning– and the Platonic or Porphyric systems –of Porphyry–, I prefer Plato. Neoplatonic methods, or the schools of Iamblichus and Porphyry, are emotional and they allow knowledge to be brought to the Consciousness, that is, they allow knowledge to become conscious, something that would never be achieved with the cold Aristotelian reasoning. That is all. Is there any other question?

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

This is hard to understand. Although you accept it intellectually, you are not Conscious of what you are hearing; it is not possible because you still do not even remotely know how the normal Consciousness works. Obviously, you think you are normal and I do not blame you. I see you as abnormal. Why? Because he who is here within me disintegrated the undesirable psychic elements, whatever was abnormal in me. When I achieved this, and not before, I could experience for myself and in a direct way the harsh realism of the abnormality of the psyche of our fellow men. Since then, my fellow men seemed to be unbalanced people to me; I felt like I was sleeping in a madhouse: planet Earth.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening

Master: No! There is no consciousness that this is a table, and this, a cup. The reality is that the impressions of a table and a cup reach your mind, then you interpret them according to how you were taught to interpret them: they told you that the table was like that and that the cup was like that, but the data of the Consciousness does not work there; that is extremely serious.

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

“Is this a glass?” “Yes, this is a glass.” Why? They were told so. And they respond to everything that appears to them with data that has been put into their heads. But they do not respond with their Consciousness, with their objective reason, because they do not give them the opportunity to develop objective reason; they do not give them the opportunity for the Consciousness to work, [for it] to express itself in the form of objective reason; that opportunity is not given to them, rather they turn creatures into automatic beings and nothing else. They are hit, they hit; they are insulted, they insult; they put thousands of things in their heads so that they answer everything, each thing according to what they have been taught, and that is it. From memory, they do not have consciousness of anything; automated dolls which react incessantly, incessantly, incessantly to sensorial impressions; in one way or another, but they always react with concepts, with words, with ideas, etc., but they react to all external sensorial impressions.

The Fifth Gospel Particularities of Objective Reason Conference – Mexico City – 1975 also in Memory, The Mechanical Man, The Mind

The mind cannot seek the truth because it does not know it. The mind cannot recognise the truth because it has never known it. The truth comes spontaneously to us when we have eliminated all those undesirable elements which constitute the myself, the self. As long as the consciousness remains bottled in the self, it will be unable to experience that which is real, that which lies beyond the body, affections and the mind, that which is the truth.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion, The Law of the Pendulum, The Mind

When the myself is reduced to cosmic dust, the consciousness is liberated, it finally wakes up and directly experiences the truth.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion, The Law of the Pendulum

The consciousness knows that which it directly experiences by itself, the harsh reality of life beyond the body, affections and the mind.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Unfortunately, the intellectual animal mistakenly called man, fascinated by the formulative power of dialectical logic, has forgotten about the dialectic of consciousness. Unquestionably, the power to formulate logical concepts is basically terribly poor. From thesis we can pass onto antithesis and through discussion reach synthesis, but the latter remains in itself an intellectual concept which in no way can coincide with reality. The Dialectic of Consciousness is more direct, permitting us to experience the reality of any phenomenon in itself and by itself.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Law of Opposites, The Mind

The language of the consciousness is symbolic, intimate, profoundly significant and only those who are awake can understand it.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening

The consciousness knows directly the reality of every natural phenomenon, and can manifest it through the Inner Mind.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Mind

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

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Master: Well, there is no chronometer for that, or any scientific device. This is only a matter of Consciousness; only the Consciousness can know, no one else but the Consciousness!

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

Currently, there is no device that can measure this. The Consciousness knows it, because not even the mind itself can know it. Only the Consciousness can know it. No one else! If the Consciousness has truly comprehended it, well, it has comprehended it and that is all. Any other question?

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

So, bear in mind that the truth must be experienced directly; and can only be experienced in the absence of the “I”, in the absence of the Myself, in the absence of the Ego. While Consciousness is engrossed in the Ego, one can know nothing about the truth. One may have very beautiful opinions about the truth, one may have beliefs that they think are the truth; one may have ideas about the truth, concepts, but that is not the truth.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity

Since the mind is merely a passive instrument, it could not, by itself, take the position of comprehension. Distinguish between what comprehension is and what the instrument we use to manifest ourselves in the world is. Obviously, comprehension belongs rather to the Essence, to the intimate functionalisms of the Consciousness and that is all.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in The Mind

Brothers, I have been reflecting these days, a great deal, and I fully realize that the mind, as an instrument of investigation, is very poor; it is – excuse me for the concept– very miserable. There are other means of information which are richer, means of experimentation which are more remarkable and wonderful. It is necessary, my dear brothers, to free the Essence, the Consciousness, to take it out of the intellect, extract it from the mind to experience the real, the truth.

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Essence, The Mind

Let us go to more concrete facts. There is an author out there, whose name I will not mention, who speaks about Atlantis, about the famous Atlantis; he even shares the Russian concepts that this so-called renowned Atlantis was just an island of the Mediterranean, etc., a completely absurd thing, right? What does that author base it on? Repeating what the Russians have already said? This is what the intellect does, brothers, it repeats what others say. It does not seem to me that the intellect is a very efficient instrument for investigation; it would be better, for example, to unbottle the Essence by means of meditation, that is, to unbottle the Consciousness, take it out from that jail of the intellective or reasoning concepts.

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Mind

The system of investigating with the Consciousness is better than investigating with the intellect, it is wiser, because with the Consciousness we experience the truth directly. What do we experience with the intellect? Nothing, my dear brothers. The only thing you achieve with the intellect is to make your life bitter, to fill your mind with theories and more theories, that is all.

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Mind

If we learn to live according to the dictates of the Consciousness, it is obvious that we will live correctly and we will not obtain karma of any kind. But if we continue acting according to the intellective impulses or the impulses of the mind, then our actions will be distorted, nonsensical, wrong. We have been able to reflect on this, to comprehend it through practical life.

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Law of Karma

When everything goes well, the rigid ceiling of thought breaks and the light and the power of the consciousness enters like a flood into the mind which has stopped dreaming. Then in the physical world and outside of it, during the sleep of the physical body, we live totally conscious and enlightened enjoying the happiness of life in the superior worlds.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening

When we liberate ourselves from the mind, then this mind is converted into a ductile, elastic and useful vehicle with which we express ourselves in this conscious world. Superior logic invites us to think that liberating, emancipating ourselves from the mind, releasing ourselves from all mechanism is equivalent in fact to the awakening of the consciousness, to the termination of automatism.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, The Mind

The sense of serenity transcends that which is normally understood as calmness or tranquility. It implies a superlative state which is beyond reasoning, desires, contradictions and words. It signifies a situation which is beyond mundane noise. The sense of reflection in itself is beyond what is always understood as contemplation of a problem or idea. Here this word does not imply mental activity or contemplative thought, but rather a type of objective consciousness, clear and reflective, always illuminated within its own experience.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, The Science of Meditation

The awakening of the consciousness, of the Essence, of the soul or Buddhata is only possible by liberating, emancipating ourselves from the mental dualism, from the struggle of the antithesis, of the intellectual waves.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, Runic Magic, The Essence, The Law of Opposites, The Law of the Pendulum

This disconnection between consciousness and intellect is precisely the one that can transfigure the delightful coitus into something supernatural, spiritual and terribly divine. The ultimate goal of mystical practices, like that of Zen or that of Christian quietism of Fray Miguel de Molinos, is that they can lead us to the stillness and silence of the mind, The new arrives only when the mind is still, when the mind is in silence.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Inner Silence, The Science of Meditation

In those moments of indescribable delights, the consciousness escapes from within the mortifying mind in order to experience the reality.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Inner Silence

The awakening of consciousness is only possible through liberation and emancipation from mental dualism, from the battle of the antitheses, from intellectual waves. Any subconscious, infraconscious or unconscious struggle becomes an impediment to the liberation of the essence.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, Inner Silence, The Law of the Pendulum

Serene reflection is clear consciousness in the tranquility of non-thinking. When perfect serenity reigns, one achieves true, profound enlightenment.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

But we have to be wise in meditation, judge ourselves, know what is inattentive in us. We need to make ourselves conscious of that which is inattentive that exists in us. When I say that we should dominate the mind, the one who has to dominate the mind is the Essence, the Conscience. By awakening Consciousness we have more power over the mind and thereby, we become conscious of what is unconscious in us.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, Inner Silence, The Essence, The Mind, The Science of Meditation, The Subconscious

Before all else, we should not become identified with the mind if we truly wish to take the most advantage of the Second Jewel, because if we feel ourselves being the mind, if I say: “I am reasoning! I am thinking!”, then I am affirming an absurdity and I am not in agreement with the Doctrine of the Yellow Dragon, because the Being does not need to think, because the Being does not need to reason. The one who reasons is the mind. The Being is the Being and the reason of being of the Being is being itself He is what is, what has always been and what will always be. The Being is the life which throbs in each atom just as it throbs in each Sun. What thinks is not the Being, what reasons is not the Being. We do not have the entire Being incarnated, but we have incarnated a part of the Being which is the Essence or Buddhata, that part of Soul which exists in us, the spiritual, the psychic material. It is necessary for this living Essence to impose itself over the mind. What analyzes in us are the I’s, because the I’s are but mere forms of the mind, mental forms that we have to disintegrate and reduce to cosmic dust.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Identification, The Being Is the Being, The Essence, The Mind

What is important in us is to awaken consciousness to stop dreaming, to stop thinking. This thinking, which is cosmic matter, is the mind. Even the Astral itself is nothing but the crystallization of mental matter and the physical world is also condensed mind. In this manner, the mind is matter and is very gross, whether it be in a physical state or in a state called astral-manasic, as the Hindus say. In any case, the mind is gross and material, both in the astral as well as in the physical.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, Malkuth, The Mind

Sadly, many people confuse the cosmic mind with the cosmic consciousness. One thing is the waves of the mind, and another is the waves of the consciousness.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950 also in The Mind

The cosmic consciousness reunites the affine waves of the mind.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The third mind functions only with the data of the awakened Consciousness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Nevertheless, the opening of the interior mind and the advent of Sophia is possible only by awakening the Consciousness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening, The Mind

Verily, verily I say unto you that we open the Interior Mind only by awakening the Consciousness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening

Finally, the inner mind. This is the vehicle of the Consciousness. As the Consciousness awakens, the inner mind develops its objective analytical processes in an extraordinary way.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mind

With the death of the Ego the inner mind opens, and the latter is different, it functions with the means of the Consciousness, it receives the data of the superlative Consciousness of the Being, and with such data it elaborates its concepts of content.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Psychological Death, The Mind

Since the transcendental and superlative Consciousness of the Being has the power to experience what is real, the truth, obviously, the inner mind, being thus informed, has good data to elaborate its concepts of content; there is a reason why the inner mind is called objective reason; there is a reason why the sensory mind is called subjective reason.

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

This present humanity is ninety-seven per cent in the subconscious. Therefore, this humanity sleeps profoundly, not only in this physical world, but also in the supra-sensible worlds: during the sleep of the physical body as well as after death.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

The consciousness of humanity is ninety-seven percent subconscious and three percent conscious.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

We need to awaken consciousness. We need to convert the subconscious into consciousness. We need to have one hundred percent consciousness.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

The intellectual humanoids mistakenly called men in truth possess only three per cent of Consciousness, if they had even ten per cent, wars would be impossible on the face of the Earth.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening, The Essence

Normally people only possess 3% of awake consciousness and 97% of subconsciousness or asleep consciousness.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Subconscious

We have been wisely told that we have ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and three percent of Consciousness.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Subconscious

Plainly and bluntly speaking, we shall state that the ninety-seven percent of Essence that we carry within ourselves is bottled up, stuffed, inserted within each one of the “I’s” which in their conjunction constitute the “Myself.”

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Many I’s

When we come into this world we all have in the existence a three per cent of consciousness and a ninety-seven per cent which can be distributed among subconsciousness, infraconsciousness and unconsciousness. The three per cent of awake consciousness can be increased as we work upon ourselves.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Great Rebellion, The Subconscious

Re-entry exists, return exists; when we come back to this world, we project the same film, the same life, on the gambling table of existence. We can establish the thesis of successive existences; but not of successive lifes, because the film is the same. The human being has a three per cent of free essence and a ninety-seven per cent of essence bottled among the "I"s.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Great Rebellion

Now you will understand the reason for the human unconsciousness. If people had at least ten percent of Consciousness awake, there would be no wars in the world. Unfortunately, humanity has only three percent of Consciousness awake. That means that ninety-seven percent of Consciousness sleeps profoundly.

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

Disciple: Master, if one barely has three percent of awakened Consciousness, can they, with that three percent, go to the astral world in a fully conscious way?

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

Master: I have clearly said that with a three percent of awakened Consciousness, no one can become a competent investigator of what happens in the psychological space. People need, first of all, to increase the percentage of Con- 5 This term used by the V.M. Samael refers, within the hermetic tradition, to the binomial comprised of the reasonings of the mind –nous-and the perceptions provided by the senses. The reader must know that for the Greeks, nous had two interpretations: a superior one, as divine thought, and a common one, as human thought.

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

Normally, anyone can have one percent of awakened Consciousness; another may have nothing; another may have two and another three percent. If humanity had ten percent of awakened Consciousness, there would no longer be wars. Having one hundred percent is something very difficult. Only the Kumaras could have that one hundred percent, the great Prajapatis, the great Elohim.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in Awakening

We do not mean to state that one hundred percent of the Essence or Consciousness is reembodied within the newly born child; it is only the three percent of free consciousness that normally is not bottled up within the “I’s Nevertheless, that free percentage of Essence, re embodied within the organisms of newly born babies gives them full self-cognizance, lucidity; etc.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul

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, Personality, The Essence, 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, Personality, The Essence, The Human Soul

We, really, are machines moved by forces that we do not know. When a child is born, the first thing that enters into the creature is the Essence, the animic part: three percent, which is the only thing that is free, because the remaining ninety-seven percent is bottled up among the “I's”. But the free part impregnates the fertilized egg and remains inside the body of the creature. Therefore, in a newborn child there is three percent free Consciousness and that three percent is self-conscious.

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in The Essence, The Human Soul

How does a newborn child see us? A newborn child sees adults as you see drunks on the street; this is how a newborn child sees you. He is awake because, in him, the three percent of awakened Consciousness is inside, present, and the “I’s” have not yet penetrated into his body.

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Awakening

I do not want to tell you that one hundred percent of the Essence is expressed in a newborn child, no. Obviously, in the creature that has come, in the one that has returned to existence – that has been reincorporated, I mean, into a new human organism– only a tiny fraction of the Essence is expressed, that minimum free fraction – which can express itself because it is free in the child– unquestionably is also awake and self-conscious. It is a pity that the totality of the Essence cannot express itself. Practically, three percent of the Essence is expressed in a newborn child, the three percent that is free, self-awakened and conscious; therefore, he has many fully active intimate senses.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in Awakening, Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul

As the Ego is multiple, any true Enlightened One who decides to observe a newborn child, will see the following: the child in his cradle, awake; a minimum fraction of his Essence, which is the one thing that expresses itself, and is completely self-conscious, awake. But creatures that try to manifest themselves, different Egos, different “I’s” will also be seen around the cradle, some in beautiful shapes, others in horrifying forms that come and go, enter and exit that room where the child sleeps, they circle his cradle, etc. Those are the “I’s” that await to express themselves. The rest of the Essence are distributed within those “I’s”, that is, the ninety-seven percent of the Essence, they are bottled up inside each one of those “I’s” –inside one “I” a certain amount of Essence [is] bottled up; among another “I”, another quantity, etc.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Many I’s

How great –I say– if the Essence was not bottled, trapped within all the ”I’s”; how great if the child grew up without any “I” getting inside of him, if only the totality of his Essence existed in him throughout his life. Then all the five cylinders of the machine –intellect, emotion, movement, instinct and sex– would be under the control of the Essence and he would be marching in harmony with the infinite. Unfortunately, ninety-seven percent of the Essence is bottled up among the various elements that constitute the Ego, the “I”. We need to develop the Essence, unbottle it, liberate it. When we achieve this, multiple divine, natural powers will express themselves in us, in all their beauty and all their power. We do not need to strive for powers; what we must strive for is to die within ourselves, here and now, because “only with death does the new come”.

The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Mechanical Man

Nowadays, when one is born, it is obvious that the Essence manages to express itself a little. It is well known that every normal, ordinary person possesses ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and three percent of free Consciousness or Essence.

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

Upon coming to the world, upon returning, upon re-entering, upon reincorporating, that three percent of the free Essence impregnates the fertilized egg and manifests itself in the body of the newborn. The ninety-seven percent of sub-consciousness of the Essence is trapped among the “I’s”, among the psychic aggregates; it has no opportunity to express itself.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul, The Subconscious

Thus, what is expressed in the child is the free Essence, the small percentage of free Essence; that gives them self-consciousness, conscious objectivity. A newborn child is self-conscious, but the adult believes that the newborn is unconscious, that it does not realize anything, and they are wrong. A newborn, to be precise, is different: they see the lamentable state in which the adults are in; they do not ignore that adults are asleep, they see them as they are; they are awake.

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

At birth we are beautiful. Why? Because we all have three percent of free Essence at our disposal, as I said in my book entitled Revolutionary Psychology. The remaining ninety-seven percent is bottled up in the multiplicity of the Ego. The existing free element impregnates the fecundated egg and comes into existence, reincorporated again.

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 also in Awakening, Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul

So the newborn child possesses precisely that: three percent of free Consciousness, not bottled up in any Ego. The percentage of Essence manifested in a child is self-conscious. How would a newborn see adults, his parents, his brothers, his relatives? In the same way that you see a “stoner”, like that and not in any other way. But see how adults feel that they even have authority to educate the child; they believe they can educate him. The child in turn feels bad, a complete martyr, victim of those “stoners” who want to teach him.

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 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

So-called infraconsciousness, unconsciousness, subconsciousness etc., are only different forms or zones of the sleeping consciousness. It is urgent to awaken consciousness to become illuminated, a clairvoyant, supraconsciousness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Subconscious

Since the three-brained or three-Centered biped, mistakenly called man, has not yet awakened consciousness, has not created the existential bodies of the Being, he only possesses, in reality, subconscious and subjective states.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

Really, what is important is to know ourselves profoundly in all the levels of the mind. Darkness is unconsciousness; light is consciousness; we must allow light to penetrate our own darkness; obviously light has power to defeat darkness. Unfortunately, people are self-incarcerated in the fetid and filthy environment of their own mind, adoring their beloved Ego.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion, The Science of Meditation, The Subconscious

One, as a Gnostic, wants to have conceptual clarity, lucid ideas, radical enlightenment, without incoherences, without vagueness, without subjectivism of any kind. But, unfortunately, the representations that we carry within ourselves and the various aggregates condition the Consciousness in such a way that they really keep it on the unpleasant tracks of the subconsciousness and even of the infra-consciousness and unconsciousness.

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

It may happen that it has terrible fights there, in the submerged depths, in very deep folds, unknown to you. Yes, don’t let it be strange to you: the inner submerged or infra-conscious profundities of the mind. In such profundities or intellectual abysses, there also are fights that we often do not know about in the merely superficial region of reasoning; fights, fights that hold you back and do not allow the Consciousness to escape, fights that bottle up the Essence.

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in Inner Silence, The Subconscious

The three, the seven and the legion are small animal elements, “I’s” which are created by the mind. These animal elements are the enemies who live within our own house. These animal elements live within the kingdom of our soul and they nourish themselves with the inferior substances of our lower animal depths. What is the worst is that these animal elements have stolen part of our own consciousness. This is demonstrated by the following assertions: “I am angry, I am greedy, I wish, I feel envious, etc., etc., etc.”

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Anger, The Many I’s

The subconscious entities, the “I’s” which constitute the ego, are real and independent demons who have stolen part of our consciousness and do everything contrary to what we want. If, in the physical world, we decide not to fornicate, then in the other subconscious regions (secondary, tertiary, quaternary), these entities do the exact opposite they fornicate, even when, as initiates, we have arrived at complete chastity in the physical world.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Lust and Chastity, The Subconscious

This means that the Essence, the Buddhata, the Soul or Fraction of the Human Soul that every intellectual animal has, has become thousands of fractions, which are bottled up. For example: Anger, is represented by hundreds or thousands of I each is a bottle within which the Essence is engrossed; to each bottle corresponds a fraction of the Essence.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Anger, The Essence, The Human Soul

There are thousands of defects within each of us and all of them have many roots and aspects which are hidden amongst the many different subconscious folds of the mind. Each one of those psychological defects has an animal shape. Within such submerged creatures the ESSENCE, the CONSCIOUSNESS, is imprisoned.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Subconscious

Obviously within that feminine Devil, a good part of his consciousness remained bottled up.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

We must study each one of them separately because within each one of them is the bottled up Essence, that is, the Consciousness. Then they must be disintegrated, annihilated, reduced to cosmic dust.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Anger, The Essence

But in the terrain of profound psychology, all this is possible. In the depths of each one of us, there is a wrong creation: “I’s” of ancient times, “I’s” that personify frightful errors. What is most serious is that within them the Consciousness is bottled up, it is always bottled up, always processing by virtue of its own bottling.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Many I’s

We could say that they are psychological creatures or psychological people existing deep inside us and they control the personality. Inside such entities the Essence, the Consciousness is bottled up. If we want to disintegrate those defects, those psychological aggregates, we need to comprehend them; and if we want to comprehend them, we must first discover them.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Many I’s

We, the Egyptians, knew –and I say we because I am an Egyptian, and this brain I am thinking and talking with was four thousand years underground, even if it seems incredible– that Horus –we did not used to say Horus, but “Haurus”– was captured by the Red Demons of Seth. By speaking like this, we simply wanted to explain to our devotees that the Red Demons of Seth had trapped the human Consciousness. The devotees of all the Upper and Lower Nile understood it perfectly, and we all, in general, fought against the Red Demons of Seth. Obviously, I mean against the “I’s” that personify this or that error, and speaking in strictly Tibetan language, I mean against the psychic aggregates that personify our errors.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City

Putting an end to the “many” in oneself is not easy –we, the ancient Egyptians, thought and still think the same way–. The Red Demons of Seth must be killed. The Essence is bottled up inside them. Among the devotees of Chan and Zen, the Essence receives another name: it is called the “Buddhata” – so, you see that this doctrine is not the exclusive property of Mr. Gurdjieff or anyone else; it is of a general nature–. That Buddhata or psychic material, which we carry inside us, is important: it is the Essence which is bottled up within the Red Demons of Seth, within the psychic aggregates. It is necessary to break each one of those undesirable elements that we carry inside us in order to liberate the Essence. Only like this will we be able to integrate ourselves and really become sacred individuals.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Essence, The Many I’s

For instance, for example, brothers, we have an impulse of anger, a fit of rage against another person; with that rage we feel terribly irritated, we would like to hit our fellow man. Then, that psychological attitude of ours assumes a figure with our resemblance, with our eyes, with our same face, etc.; a figure within which part of our Consciousness gets bottled up. And that figure is not something dead, it is not a painting, it is not a stuffed animal, it is something that has reality, that lives; that figure is a living creature that, thanks to the sexual agent, takes form in the solar plexus, and then it surges from there; it already carries some of our Consciousness inside it. This is how the “I’s” form.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971 also in Anger, The Essence, The Many I’s

This is how the human being lives constantly, strengthening within himself the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ; because with each aggregate that one adds to those that already exist within his organism, new percentages of Consciousness become trapped in there.

The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, The Kundabuffer

It is painful to know that the Soul, the Buddhata, the Essence that we carry inside, is bottled up within the Lunar Ego.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Kundabuffer

It is urgent to dissolve the pluralized “I” in order to liberate the Essence, the Buddhata, the Embryo of Soul, the Psychic material.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Essence, The Kundabuffer, The Many I’s

That which continues beyond death is the Ego (dressed with lunar bodies). That which never dies is the Essence, the Buddhata, the Soul that unfortunately is bottled up within the Ego.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Essence, The Human Soul

The Wretched Intellectual Animal (mistakenly called a human being) only possesses a fraction of the human soul within his Protoplasmic Lunar Bodies. Unfortunately, that Fraction, Buddhata or Essence is bottled up within the Pluralized “I”

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Human Soul

Rigorous experimental psychology indicates that the Consciousness is bottled up inside these subjective Egos.

The Three Mountains, 1972

The ego, with all its psychic aggregates, is then that double anti-human nature, that infrahuman appendage within which consciousness is trapped.

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

To see such creations, to observe these monstrosities of hell within which our very same consciousness is imprisoned, is only possible with the ever progressive development of the sense of intimate self-observation.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Identification, The Essence

The consciousness is, unfortunately, embottled. One “I” of lust could take it to a brothel, an “I” of drunkenness could carry it to a tavern. A greedy “I” could lead us to some market. A murderous “I” could lead us to the house of some enemy, etc.

For the Few, 1980 also in Gluttony, Greed

Perhaps it seems correct to you to not know how to handle your consciousness? I understand that it is absurd to take it to places wherein it should not be, that is obvious. Unfortunately, I repeat, our consciousness is bottled, yes, embottled among distinct inhuman elements that we carry in our interior. We need to break all of the elements inside of which the consciousness is found embottled. But, how can we do that if we do not change our way of thinking? If we are very content with our old extemporaneous and senile habits that we have in our mind, will we concern ourselves with the awakening of our consciousness? Clearly not. If we want to change, let us change from this very moment on, changing our mental habits, our way of thinking.

For the Few, 1980 also in Awakening, The Essence

Indubitably, this last portion of the substance of love is bestowed within the Essence. The Essence, the Consciousness, is disgracefully found bottled up within the psychic aggregates, the living interior representations of our defects of a psychological type. The Essence is liberated and love shines by the annihilation of the psychological aggregates.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Psychological Death, The Essence, The Human Soul

There is an urgent necessity of working on the death of the ego in order to liberate the Essence, the consciousness, the Buddhata.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in Psychological Death

But there is also something very decent in the depths of us, I want to refer to the Consciousness, to that which we have of soul. That Consciousness is embedded, unfortunately, bottled up, buried among all that multiplicity of “I’s” that we carry inside us.

The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Fascination, The Many I’s

The Consciousness is the worthiest thing that we have inside us. Unfortunately, it is imprisoned, bottled up, crammed in between all those “I’s” that dwell within us.

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

The harsh reality of the facts is that our Consciousness is found bottled up, buried, stuffed into all that multiplicity of “I’s”, in all that tenebrous and abominable horde that we carry within us. The Consciousness, in us, is asleep, it is stuck inside a dungeon, or inside many dungeons because each “I” is a dungeon, a horrible prison.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Many I’s

What is it that continues after death? A sum of psychological aggregates. If we say that after death a whole lot of devils continues, we are not exaggerating, it is true! Let us call them anger, greed, envy, etc., but this is what continues. We certainly do not possess a permanent center of Consciousness, no. Unfortunately, the Essence is bottled up among all those inhuman aggregates. There is no permanent individuality in the intellectual animal mistakenly called man.

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Many I’s

As for the Essence, which is what is most honorable, which is what is the most decent that we have inside ourselves –the very Consciousness itself–, unquestionably, it is bottled up inside all those multiple aggregates, processing itself by virtue of its own conditioning.

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977 also in The Human Soul, The Many I’s

Undoubtedly, within such aggregates –the living personification of our defects of a psychological type, such as anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc.–, the Consciousness of the Being, the Essence, remained bottled up or trapped. Unfortunately, over time, the aggregates became stronger.

The Fifth Gospel Causes and Consequences of the Kundartiguador Organ also in The Being Is the Being

Within each “I” (of the Legion of Satanic “I’s”) the Consciousness sleeps profoundly. The Consciousness dreams within each “I.”

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Many I’s

It becomes pathetic and evident to comprehend in depth that while the consciousness continues bottled up within the pluralized ‘I’, not only will we sleep, but even worse, the consciousness will sometimes have the bad taste of dreaming of being awakened.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening

Ahamkrita Bhava: These two Sanskrit words signify the egoic condition of our Consciousness. It is obvious that the Consciousness, bottled up within all of those entities that constitute the ego, develops and lives in accordance with its own condition.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is obvious that the consciousness inserted into all of those psychological aggregates that constitute the Papapurusha fatally processes itself in accordance to its own bottled condition.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Unquestionably, the consciousness, bottled up in all those psychic aggregates that constitute the ego, the myself, the self, has to confront itself with all its components. I saw in those submerged regions, much mud, stagnant waters and supreme pain.

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

The Essence, the Consciousness, bottled up in the ego, painfully proceeds in time, depend ing on its own conditioning.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The consciousness bottled among the multiple elements which constitute the Ego, processes itself by virtue of its own bottling.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion, The Kundabuffer

It is tacit that humanity has its consciousness bottled in the ego. It is clear that as long as people continue thinking as they think, feeling as they feel, and continue with their same rancid habits, they will not be able to awaken their consciousness; it will continue to be hypnotized. Consequently, or as a corollary, it can thus be said that the Bodhichitta will never come forth in people.

For the Few, 1980 also in Awakening, Fascination

As long as the psychic Essence continues to be bottled up within the Red Demons of Seth, the Consciousness will process itself by virtue of its own embottlement.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Indubitably, the bottled up Consciousness sleeps profoundly.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Identification

The various psychic aggregates that we carry inside us, and within which the Consciousness is bottled, are the terrible result of the hypnotic power of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, the descending serpent. Now you will understand why that horrible Python has massively hypnotized all humanity.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Kundabuffer

Unfortunately, the Consciousness –which is the worthiest thing that we all have within us– is trapped, tucked inside each one of these “I’s” or persons who live within our person. As these “I’s” –or inner persons we carry within us– are one hundred percent subjective, naturally, our Consciousness is functioning by virtue of its own conditioning; that is, it has become subjective, it is asleep.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity also in Awakening, The Many I’s

Unfortunately, it was because of that abominable organ that all existing impressions were transformed into the multiple psychic aggregates that emerged into existence. Since then, the Consciousness remained bottled up in such aggregates.

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Kundabuffer, The Many I’s, The Transformation of Impressions

So, we have many persons living within our person. The most serious thing is that the Consciousness –the worthiest, the most decent thing that exists in us– is bottled up among all those inner persons that we carry. And the Consciousness is processed in that form, in a subconscious way, by virtue of its own conditioning; that is to say, it is asleep, and this is the serious thing. If we have the Consciousness asleep, how could we really know ourselves?

The Fifth Gospel The False World of Appearances Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Fascination, Identification

The Consciousness, the Essence, the Buddhata, the purest thing that exists in us, was altered since then, due to the concrete fact that this Essence remained bottled up among the undesirable elements that we carry in our psyche. Since then, an abnormal psychic state established itself in us, because if the psychic material –that is, the Buddhata, the Essence– was trapped by the various inhuman psychic elements, the result could not have been different. Obviously, since then the human psyche is altered and the tri-cerebrated beings that live on the face of the Earth are ab-nor-mal –I repeat that word like this, slowly, quite slowly–.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Essence

Master: Well, really, the ab-nor-ma-li-ty comes from it, because the abominable Kundartiguador Organ crystallized, in our psyche, all the bad consequences that it originates. That is, the psychic aggregates exist due to the abominable Kundartiguador Organ; otherwise, they would not exist. Unfortunately, the Consciousness is bottled up within these aggregates. Due to this, the Consciousness is abnormal; the Consciousness is the psyche, which functions in an abnormal manner. Earthlings are abnormal, they are clinical cases that are currently being studied by all the brothers of the solar system. This is one of the causes, one of the main reasons why extraterrestrials often take this or that citizen into space to put him in a laboratory and study him. The abnormal state of the earthlings has drawn much attention throughout the cosmos: their strange psyche, their strange behavior, which keeps no relation to any cosmic culture of the infinite space. But unfortunately, it was all due to the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Kundabuffer

Currently, humanity has a completely abnormal psyche. Why? Because it has the Consciousness bottled up in the Ego, that is, it possesses egoic Consciousness.

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

The Consciousness trapped within the different psychic aggregates that constitute the Myself, is processed by virtue of its own conditioning. Undoubtedly, as long as one has the Consciousness bottled up within the Ego, one is abnormal, one possesses an abnormal psyche.

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

In the archaic times of our world, the psyche of the three-brained beings was normal. Then, humanity was in tune with the other planetary humanities. But, unfortunately, after the annihilation of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ –which was given to humanity with the purpose of stabilizing the geological crust of the Earth–, the psyche became abnormal, because the consequences of that abominable organ remained deposited in the five cylinders of the organic machine. Those consequences constitute that which is called the Ego. The Consciousness, bottled up in the Ego, started to work in an abnormal way and unfortunately, it continues to be abnormal.

The Fifth Gospel Of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Kundabuffer

All these “I”-persons –I repeat– enter and leave our body. Within each “I”-person, we truly have a fraction of our own Consciousness bottled up. So, our Consciousness is bottled up within all that multiplicity of “I’s” which constitute the Myself. Our bottled-up Consciousness functions by virtue of its own conditioning, that is to say, we have the Consciousness asleep.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Essence, The Many I’s

In this way, the Consciousness being bottled up within the aggregates –even the will and the mental essence–, undoubtedly, we are conditioned in the Consciousness, in the will and in the psychic-mental terrain. For this reason, I say in an emphatic way that the terrestrial humanity is unbalanced.

The Fifth Gospel Causes and Consequences of the Kundartiguador Organ

Those awful consequences came to constitute in the form of the Ego, of the “I”, of the Myself, of the Oneself. Thus, the Consciousness remained bottled up, embedded, in the Ego.

The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

Now then, it is obvious that the Essence, the Consciousness, bottled up within the ‘“I”, is processed by virtue of its own conditioning. Since the Ego is subjective because it is the result of error, the Consciousness, bottled up within the Ego, processes itself subjectively, it is in a state of hypnosis, it sleeps profoundly.

The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Fascination

Thus, the state of unconscious sleep in which humanity lives is due to the fact that the Consciousness is bottled up within the Ego; and since the Ego is the result of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, we can draw the conclusion or corollary that the hypnotic sleep in which the Consciousness is found is due to the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Kundabuffer

As long as one continues in a state of hypnosis, he is doing very bad. Awakening, of course, is what is important! Could one perhaps awaken if he has not destroyed the consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ? Of course not, right? If one does not destroy those terrible consequences which he carries within his organism, in the five cylinders of his machine, he cannot achieve the awakening. How would he do it, in what way? Don’t you see that the Consciousness is bottled up within those elements which constitute the Ego?

The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Kundabuffer

When the mind is in a passive and receptive state, absolutely still and in silence, the essence or Buddhata is liberated from the mind and ecstasy arrives. The essence is always bottled up in the battle of the opposites, but when the battling ends and the silence is absolute, the essence remains free and the bottle broken into pieces.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Inner Silence, The Being Is the Being, The Essence, The Law of Opposites, The Law of the Pendulum

While the mind is embottled within the dualism, it is totally impossible to be integral. The essence of the mind (the Buddhata) is very precious, but unfortunately is it bottled in the battle of the antithesis.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Law of Opposites, The Law of the Pendulum, The Mind

The Essence, the consciousness, even when of a Buddhic nature, disgracefully lives bottled up within the exaggerated intellectual dualism of the opposites ‘yes and no’, ‘good and evil’, ‘high and low’, ‘mine and yours’, ‘like and dislike’, ‘pleasure and pain’, etc.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Essence, The Human Soul, The Law of Opposites, The Law of the Pendulum, The Mind

When the mind is quiet and in silence, not only in the intellectual level, but in all and each one of the forty-nine subconscious departments, then the Newness emerges. The Essence, the consciousness is unbottled, and the awakening of the soul, that is to say, the Ecstasy, the Samadhi, the Satori of the Saints occurs.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, Inner Silence, Runic Magic, The Science of Meditation, The Subconscious

At the time of having concluded the whole film on the screen, all that procession of the “I”, all that succession of desires, cravings, fears, memories, hatreds, etc., the mind obviously remains still and in the deepest silence; and then it is natural that the Essence, the Consciousness that we carry within becomes unbottled from within the mind, frees itself, and so we come to experience the real, that which is the truth, understood?

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in Inner Silence, The Essence

Once it is still and in the deepest silence, then my Consciousness is unbottled, this is obvious. It goes out of the mind and I am going to live in Lemuria, and see the facts in Lemuria, and relive the existences that I had in Lemuria. Thus, I come out of meditation with all the information, I write it down and give it to you in printed books. How is this? What do you think about my system, my dear brothers?

The Fifth Gospel The Ephemeral Mechanisms of the Mind Lecture given to the brothers from El Salvador – Mexico City – 1970 also in Inner Silence, The Retrospective Exercise, The Root Races, The Science of Meditation

I have said that when the Essence, the Buddhata, acts in the absence of the “I”, of the Myself, of the Oneself, it completely fuses, even if only momentarily, with the Human Soul in the Causal World, and then it acts, we would say, like in a buddhic way. It can feel in itself, experience in itself an “element” that transforms radically. That is why Zen and Chan meditation are so formidable: because they allow the un-bottling of the Essence.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in The Essence, The Human Soul, The Science of Meditation

What really happened was that, trained in the most diverse disciplines of the mind, such cenobites were able to un-bottle the Essence, the Consciousness, and the latter, in the absence of the Ego, could experience that which is not of time, that which is beyond the body, the affections and the mind. Inebriated, then, with the soma of the Samadhi, they believed themselves to be Mahatmas, they never worked on the Ego, they never worried about disintegrating the various psychic aggregates, they only specialized in the yoga of meditation.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Psychological Death, The Human Soul, The Science of Meditation

Question: Master, what difference exists between the exercise of the division of attention into three parts and the dissolution of the ego to awaken consciousness? Answer: Ladies and gentlemen, by means of all these talks we have been especially interested in the dissolution of the ego, in the complete destruction of all those psychic aggregates within which, consciousness is found imprisoned, bottled up.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence

As long as the Essence, the Consciousness, is bottled up within all of that conjunction of “I’s” that we carry inside radical change will be something more than impossible.

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

It is only by means of the fire of Aries, the Lamb, of the incarnated Rain, of the inner Christ, that we can truly burn those inhuman elements which we carry in our interior; as consciousness becomes unbottled, we will awaken.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening

Consciousness cannot awaken as long as it continues bottled up within psychic aggregates which in their mass constitute the myself, the ‘I’, the loose cathexis. We need to undergo Mystical Death here and now. We need to die from instant to instant; it is only with death that the novel arrives. If the germ does not die, the plant is not born. We need to learn to live, to liberate ourselves from that lunar heredity that we have.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The “I” Is Memory

The Consciousness of human beings is bottled up within the various inhuman elements that constitute the Myself, the Oneself. As long as those elements continue within the psyche, the Essence will also continue bottled up within them. Then, the awakening will be impossible.

The Fifth Gospel Essence of the Gnostic Pedagogy Lecture given to the brothers of El Salvador – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening

Awakening the Consciousness is fundamental when one wants to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. But how could we awaken if the Ego has not been dissolved first? How could one achieve true liberation if the Consciousness has to continue bottled up within the various inhuman elements that are carried inside oneself?

The Fifth Gospel Essence of the Gnostic Pedagogy Lecture given to the brothers of El Salvador – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening, Psychological Death

For all these reasons, it is necessary for us to be alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war. The state of alert-perception, alert-novelty is indispensable. If we do not proceed this way, the Consciousness will continue to be imprisoned within the psychic aggregates that we carry inside us and it will never awaken.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Awakening, The Essence

Above all, we should be interested in awakening, because as long as we continue asleep as we are, what will we be able to know about the mysteries of life and death? What will we be able to know about the real, about the truth? For one to be able to get to know the mysteries of life and death thoroughly, it is indispensably necessary to awaken. It is possible to awaken if one sets out to do it; but it is not possible to awaken if the Consciousness continues to be bottled up among all those ”I’s”.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Awakening, Fascination

But as long as we continue with the Consciousness bottled up within the Ego, within the “I” or within the ”I’s”, obviously, we will know nothing about the mysteries of life and death, we will not be able to experience the real, we will live in ignorance.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

But as long as the Consciousness continues to be bottled up among that multiplicity of persons that we carry within us, we will know nothing about ourselves.

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

So, this multiplicity of the “I’s” is a tremendous reality. Unbottling the Consciousness is fundamental. But that cannot happen if we do not annihilate the bottles which are the “I’s”. When one awakens, the mysteries of life and death become clear; it is then when one really knows the origin of one’s own existence.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Many I’s

Nowadays, we are ignorant, poor, we know nothing. It is not possible to know as long as the Essence is not unbottled; it is not possible to know something while the Consciousness does not awaken; it is not possible to awaken or un-bottle oneself if the Ego, the “I”, the Myself, the Oneself is not destroyed.

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

They have the Ego very much alive, fat, robust, and yet they are complaining. Why do those little brothers think of complaining when they have Ego? While the Ego exists, one has no right to obtain Enlightenment. Where are they going to get it from? When the Consciousness is bottled up inside the Ego, where will they get Enlightenment from? This is impossible!

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

Master: Well, certainly, it is possible that, for an instant, someone is awake, even though he is bottled up in the Ego. If the Consciousness is able to awaken, obviously, it is because the Ego has lost volume; and when the awakening is radical, total and absolute, the Ego no longer exists, it has disappeared.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in Awakening

To rescue the soul, to get it out of darkness is beautiful, but it is not easy; what is normal is for it to remain a prisoner. And one cannot enjoy authentic Enlightenment as long as the Essence, the Consciousness, the soul, is bottled up there, is imprisoned; that is what is serious.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light also in The Human Soul

In no way would there be true profound inner Enlightenment if the Consciousness continues to be bottled within the Ego. For this reason, the disintegration of the inhuman psychic aggregates, living personification of our mistakes, becomes indispensable, urgent, unpostponable, so that the Essence, the Consciousness, is liberated. If the brothers who are going to study in the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium understand the need to go through the Buddhist Annihilation, we can then expect magnificent results from them. But if they are only bothered about social positions, powers, initiations and thousands of things of the sort, and they do not work on themselves eradicating their psychological defects, in fact, we are sure that there will only be failures.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence

Now, those shadows have died, they distilled within my interior the fragrance of life, a certain percentage of my consciousness that was bottled up within them...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The “I” of the “I” is a horrifying engender of the abyss within which a good percentage of my consciousness was bottled up.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Then something unusual, marvelous and extraordinary happened. That fraction of my consciousness that was previously bottled up within that abominable monster returned into the depths of my soul...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Clearly, the serpent-woman, that is to say, the princess Kundalini, the Cosmic Divine Mother, is strengthened by means of this type of electricity. Then she can, with her electric power, atomically disintegrate the heaviest psychic elements, within which the consciousness is embottled.

For the Few, 1980 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Thanks to the Magistry of the Fire, the Initiates filled with Pistis Sophia can rescue and take the Light of the Consciousness, which is imprisoned within the psychic aggregates. It is ostensible that the psychic aggregates, within which the Light of the Consciousness is imprisoned, are Dry Mercury.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When one has understood that he has, for example, the defect of anger, then what does he do? He has no choice but to concentrate on his Divine Mother Kundalini, beg her, ask her to eliminate, disintegrate that defect, and she will disintegrate it. And the Consciousness, bottled up within it, will be released. And if one disintegrates all the defects, the Consciousness remains completely awake. And being perfectly awake, you can remember your previous lives, you can penetrate the mysteries, see what existed a million years ago, etc. But asleep, you cannot.

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Anger, Awakening, Memory, Prayers to the Divine Mother, Return and Reincarnation, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The purpose of comprehending is to liberate the Essence that is bottled within the psychic aggregate that is going to be eliminated. If it was eliminated without comprehending, a certain percentage of Consciousness would still be bottled up within the psychic aggregate, and this is not what we want: that this percentage of Consciousness continues being bottled up within what is going to be eliminated, understood? Any other question?

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in The Essence, The Human Soul

Kundalini, the Cosmic Mother, symbolized by the Virgin of all ancient religions, will proceed to eliminate the defect from our psyche, destroying the “I” that personifies it, reducing it to ashes, to cosmic dust. When this happens, the percentage of Consciousness that was bottled up and confined, will be liberated, emancipated, and if we continue with that psychological, transcendental, revolutionary procedure, we can truly disintegrate all those multiple persons that we carry within us. When that is accomplished, when the totality of the “I” has been reduced to ashes, turned into cosmic dust, the Essence, the Consciousness will be liberated, and it will be then when we will enjoy true and authentic happiness; it will be then when we will really know freedom; it will be then when we will be truly enlightened; it will be then when we will be able to experience by ourselves and in a direct way that which is the truth.

The Fifth Gospel Of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Suffering, The Essence, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

How can one liberate that Essence, that Consciousness that is trapped inside an “I”? Only through profound inner meditation. Only by becoming conscious of the error.

The Fifth Gospel Beyond the Mind Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1974 also in The Essence, The Human Soul, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

As you do it, as the psychic aggregates pulverize, the Consciousness, the Essence bottled up inside them, will keep emancipating. This is the path to crystallize in us that which is called soul.

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 also in The Essence, The Human Soul

So then, in those circumstances, the Consciousness is asleep. It is indispensable to eliminate those “I’s” with the aim that the Essence, the Consciousness bottled up within them, is liberated, awakened. When one dissolves those “I’s”, one liberates Essence. This is how, little by little, the awakening is taking place.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening, Fascination

An “I” is frightfully horrible, but as it loses its volume, it becomes more beautiful. Then it looks like a child and, finally, it turns to dust. When it has already turned to dust, the Consciousness that was placed, bottled up, crammed in that “I”, has been released. So, the light has increased, it is a percentage of light that has become free. We can proceed like this with each one of the “I’s”. The work is long, tedious and very difficult.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light also in The Many I’s, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Within each psychic aggregate, there is a certain percentage of imprisoned Light. Obviously, we are referring to a certain percentage of Essence, of Consciousness, which is trapped and bottled up.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Essence, The Human Soul

Each time that we attain the disintegration of a psychic aggregate, we liberate the corresponding percentage of Essence, of Consciousness, which is bottled up there. This is how we can increase, little by little, the percentage of real Consciousness within ourselves.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Psychological Death, The Essence, The Human Soul

Normally, humanity possesses three percent of free Consciousness. If humanity had ten percent of Consciousness, then wars would not exist.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

When a psychological “I”, whether of anger, whether of hate, etc., is disintegrated, the Consciousness, bottled up there, is also emancipated, liberated; then comes the awakening. Normally, people have three percent of awakened Consciousness, but if we work upon ourselves, if we eliminate all those “I”- persons that dwell inside us, we will elevate our percentage of Consciousness little by little.

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

If people had at least ten percent awakened Consciousness, we could say that, indeed, the wars on the face of the Earth would disappear forever. If people were to have fifty percent awakened Consciousness, the Earth would be a paradise. Now, to reach one hundred per cent awakened Consciousness is only a matter for Initiates, for supermen such as Moses, Buddha Gautama, the Christ, etc.

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

Any psychic aggregate, living personification of this or that error, once it has been disintegrated, liberates something: that is called Essence. It is clear that within any of those “bottles”, known as psychic aggregates, there is imprisoned Essence or animic Consciousness, and when this or that error is shattered, the percentage of Essence, stored or bottled there, is liberated.

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

Each time a percentage of the buddhic Essence is released, in fact, and in its own right, the percentage of Consciousness increases. And this way, as we progressively break down the psychic aggregates, the percentage of awakened Consciousness will progressively multiply, and when the totality of the psychic aggregates is reduced to ashes, the Consciousness will also be totally awakened.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

If we have broken down only fifty percent of the undesirable inhuman psychic elements, we will possess, obviously, fifty percent of objective, awakened Consciousness. But if we manage to break down one hundred per cent of the undesirable psychic aggregates, we will achieve, in fact, and in its own right, one hundred per cent of objective Consciousness. So, based on incessant multiplications, our Consciousness will be shining more and more, that is obvious. Achieving absolute awakening is what we want, and it is possible to achieve it if we tread the correct path. Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve it; that is clear.

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

The pluralised ‘I’ is the sub-consciousness. When we dissolve the ‘I’ the subconscious is transformed into consciousness. We need to convert the sub-consciousness into consciousness and this is only possible by achieving the annihilation of the ‘I’. Continuous awakened consciousness is acquired when our consciousness occupies the place of the sub-consciousness.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

We need to transform the subconscious into conscious, to stop dreaming, to awaken consciousness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams, The Subconscious

Consciousness, subconsciousness and supraconsciousness come down to only one thing: human consciousness. We need to awaken consciousness. Whoever awakens consciousness becomes supra-conscious, reaches the heights of supraconsciousness, becoming a true illuminated clairvoyant, a Turiya. It is urgent to convert the subconsciousness into consciousness and totally awaken consciousness.

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

When we auto-discover ourselves, when we become conscious of the activities of the I in the five centers of the machine and in the forty-nine subconscious regions, we then awaken consciousness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, The Centres of the Human Machine, The Subconscious

It is certain that the consciousness, bottled up inside all of those subjective fractions of the Papapurusha, sleeps profoundly. It is subconsciousness...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

We need to convert the subconsciousness into consciousness and this is only possible by annihilating the Papapurusha...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Subconscious

Question: Forgive me, Master, ill appear a little insistent, but I have grasped the concept that as we awaken consciousness, the infraconscious and subconscious states cease to exist because these become conscious Is this wrong?

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

Answer: Sir, I think that your question is quite interesting ostensibly, the submerged states of Pluto, let us call them infraconsciousness, unconsciousness, subconsciousness, are radically eliminated when consciousness awakened.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

In us, exists, for example, 3% of consciousness and 97% of subconscious, that is true. So what we have of consciousness should direct itself to what we have of unconscious or subconscious to recriminate it and make it see that it has to become conscious. But there is a need for the conscious part to recriminate the subconscious part, so that the subconscious becomes conscious. This matter of the conscious part directing itself to the subconscious part is a very important exercise that can be practiced at dawn, so that in this manner, the unconscious parts become conscious, little by little.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, The Essence, The Subconscious

When Set is disintegrated totally then the Consciousness, the Soul, is freed, awakens completely. Then there is interior illumination. Truly, the Resurrection of the Soul is only possible through cosmic Initia tion. Human beings are dead and are only able to revive by means of Initiation. Let us remember the words of Jesus, the Great Kabir: “...and let the dead bury their dead” (Matthew 8. 22).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

When Mephistopheles (the ego) is reduced to ashes, then, the consciousness is liberated and awakens.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening

When Seth is disintegrated in a total way, then the Consciousness, the Soul is liberated and becomes radically awakened. Thus, the interior illumination arrives…

My Return to Tibet, 1969

That return, that going back to the point of original departure, is not possible without first having died within oneself. The Essence, the Consciousness is unfortunately bottled up amongst all those aggregate psyches that, as a sinister whole constitute the EGO. Only by annihilating such twisted, dark aggregates can the Essence awaken to a state of primeval innocence.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul

The Essence, the Consciousness, which is enclosed, bottled up, imprisoned painfully within the diverse elements that make up the myself, the ego, unfortunately acts by way of its own conditioning.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Essence

When the ‘I’ is dissolved, the Essence, the Consciousness, awakens, acquires illumination and frees itself. Then, as a consequence, self-knowledge or Auto-Gnosis is acquired.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

Awakening is therefore necessary, but how? When Jesus took the seven demons out of Magdalene’s body, she remained awakened and recognized the Son of Man. Why? Because her Consciousness remained free. It turns out that since the Consciousness is stuck, yes, stuck among the “I’s”, it is not free, it is conditioned by its own bottling. But if that Consciousness manages to get out of the “I’s”, it is free, and then it can see the truth. And Jesus said: “Know the truth and it will make you free.” You do not know the truth. If you knew it, you would already be free.

The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Awakening

So, this is the obvious path to follow for the disintegration of the “I’s”. As within each of them, there is a percentage of Consciousness, as we are disintegrating them, the Consciousness bottled up there will liberate itself. And when the totality of the “I’s” has been disintegrated, when the sinful Adam can raise his sword high to shout “Long live liberation!” –as it was represented here, tonight, on stage– then the Consciousness, in its totality, will also be liberated, awakened.

The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Many I’s

To have the Consciousness awaken is something extraordinary, wonderful. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can experience the truth directly, right here and now. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of life and death. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can remember one’s previous lives. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can directly experience that which is real.

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

Through the Divine Cosmic Mother, we can eliminate all our psychological defects. As the Consciousness is bottled up among the defects, once these are eliminated, the Consciousness will awaken radically, and then we will be able to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds.

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

Each one of us has his Consciousness bottled up in all those characters of the different dramas, comedies and tragedies of life. Each one of us has the Consciousness bottled up within the Egos. Well, let us reduce the Egos to dust, and the Consciousness will be free! A free Consciousness is an enlightened Consciousness; it is a Consciousness that can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds; it is an omniscient and divine Consciousness.

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 also in The Essence

We need to take possession of ourselves if we want to be kings and priests of nature according to the Order of Melchizedek. And we will not be able to take possession of ourselves as long as the Consciousness continues to be bottled up within the various undesirable elements of the psyche.

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 also in Awakening

The Consciousness that has taken possession of itself is a free Consciousness. A Consciousness that has taken possession of itself is admitted into the Order of Melchizedek; it is an omniscient, enlightened, perfect Consciousness; and that is what we need.

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

In any case, by means of Buddhist Annihilation, by means of the disintegration of all kinds of harmful inhuman or sub-human elements, one achieves that the Essence or Consciousness remains completely unbottled, awakened. The absence of the false personality, the absence of the Ego, confers upon us something that is called “bliss”. Therefore, bliss must be achieved here and now by means of radical transformation. It is through all this that many brothers will go on comprehending, feeling the need for the change.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence

Obviously, the elimination of the ego reevaluates the Being, producing happiness as a result. Unfortunately, the consciousness imprisoned within ego does not understand, does not comprehend the need for the inner reevaluation and prefers animal enjoyment because it firmly believes that the latter is happiness.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Psychological Death, The Being Is the Being

Unquestionably, while the consciousness remains bottled in the "MYSELF", in the "SELF", it can in no way know real happiness.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Suffering, The Great Rebellion

Nobody could really experience Freedom as long as his consciousness remains bottled in the oneself, in the myself.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion

As long as the consciousness, the essence, the most dignified and decent part within us, continues to be bottled in the oneself, in the myself, in the self, in my cravings and fears, in my desires and passions, my preoccupations and violence, in my psychological defects, we will remain imprisoned.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Desire and Will, The Essence, The Great Rebellion

As long as the "self" exists, the consciousness will stay imprisoned; to escape from that prison is only possible through Buddhist annihilation, by dissolving the "I", by reducing it to ashes, to cosmic dust. The free consciousness, devoid of "I", absolutely lacking the myself, without desires, without passions, without cravings and fears, directly experiences true Freedom.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Psychological Death, The Essence, The Great Rebellion

Liberating the Consciousness is something great. One will only know what freedom is when the Consciousness breaks out of the dungeon in which it is trapped and comes out in the light of life, free in its movement. One will only know the truth when Consciousness is emancipated. One will only know happiness when Consciousness breaks out of the prison where it is trapped. Until then, one does not know happiness; one confuses pleasure with happiness; but does not know happiness. So, I invite you to reflect on these words; it is necessary that you comprehend them.

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

When one dissolves the Ego in an absolute way, he acquires freedom, he comes to know what freedom is. Before the Ego is dissolved, the Consciousness is completely imprisoned, formally imprisoned, locked up in a horrible dungeon. That dungeon is the Ego. If one destroys the dungeon that is the Ego, the Consciousness is free, and this is fundamental; to put an end to those shackles that keep us imprisoned inside the dungeon. If we achieve this, the Consciousness is free.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity also in The Essence

One does not come to know real happiness until they manage to free the Consciousness. As long as the Consciousness has not become free, it is not happy, and for the Consciousness to become free, it is necessary to destroy the shackles that keep it imprisoned within the prison of pain. The prison is the Myself, “I Myself“, my person, my own feelings, my desires, my own tormented mind, my worries, my hatreds, my lust, my selfishness, my envy, my grudges, my resentments, my self, my own feelings, my own projects, my own desires. As long as one does not succeed in destroying that which is “I Myself’, my Consciousness will be a prisoner. But the day that that which is I, “I Myself’, is destroyed, then the Consciousness will be free, and it will enjoy the authentic happiness that has nothing to do with pleasure, this is the opposite of pleasure.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity also in Resentment and Generosity, Suffering

When the Consciousness manages to –I repeat– emancipate itself from that dungeon in which one is imprisoned, and which is called “I Myself’, Myself, it experiences freedom and enjoys true happiness in God.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity

The term ‘Unconscious’ is in its depth very ambiguous, doubtful, confusing and discussible. However, we may use this term in a conventional way in order to indicate or point to a creative mystery, something that is much beyond the Consciousness.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Subconscious

It is unquestionable that Parabrahman, the Universal Spirit of Life transcends all of that which is called Consciousness. Therefore, it is obvious that we may call it ‘Unconsciousness’. Within this strictly human theme, we can and must even emphasise the idea that before transcending the ‘Consciousness’, we first need to awaken it.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

We transform the Subconsciousness into Consciousness with the annihilation of the ego. However, afterwards, we must destroy the shackles which connect us to the Consciousness. The Illuminator Void is the ‘Unconsciousness Itself (here we are utilising the term Unconsciousness in the sense of something that is far beyond the Consciousness).

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening, The Subconscious

Thank God we have the consciousness in our interior. It is definitely the most precious gift. It is a pity that it is bottled in the Ego. But if we manage to free the consciousness, then we will be ready for the great leap, for the supreme leap.

For the Few, 1980

A freed consciousness is a consciousness that can submerge itself into the Great Reality of life free in its movement. This Great Reality is endless happiness, beyond the body, affections, and the mind. It is happiness impossible to describe with words.

For the Few, 1980

But there are very heavy psychic elements that correspond to the world of ninety-six laws. These can only be disintegrated with the “electric mill” of the physicists, with the “swastika” in movement, that generates a specific type of transcendental sexual electricity. Obviously, the Woman Serpent, that is, the Princess Kundalini, the Divine Cosmic Mother, is reinforced by this type of electricity and then with this electric power she can atomically disintegrate the heaviest psychic elements in which the Consciousness is bottled.

The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977 also in The Essence, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

In this way, little by little, there comes the moment when the Consciousness is left completely liberated and awakened, ready to take the great leap and fall into the Illuminating Void, which is the antechamber of the Great Reality.

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

There are four states of Consciousness that are possible for man: Sleep, Vigil Consciousness, Self Consciousness and Objective Consciousness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

There exist four states of Consciousness: Dream, Vigil Consciousness, Self-Cognizance and Objective Consciousness.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

It is necessary to repeat what we have said in previous chapters. Four states of consciousness exist: sleep, the vigil state, self-consciousness, and objective consciousness.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

In ordinary life a human being knows nothing about selfconsciousness, and far less about objective consciousness. Nevertheless, people are arrogant, and everyone believes himself or herself to be self-conscious. The intellectual animal firmly believes that he has consciousness of himself, and under no circumstances would he accept being told that he is asleep and that he lives unconscious of himself.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

The task of the whole universe and of all beings, from the gigantic sun down to the insignificant cell, is to awaken consciousness. The Ors Solar System will become increasingly radiant as each of its worlds, each person, and each living cell becomes more conscious.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

The consciousness of all human beings on planet Earth is asleep. It is impossible to experience that which is the Truth while one’s consciousness is totally asleep.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

Four states of consciousness exist: dreaming during the waking state; dreaming while the physical body is asleep; self-consciousness; awakened objective consciousness.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

Normally, people live in the first two states of consciousness.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

People not only dream when they sleep, but also in the so-called waking state. It is very rare to find a conscious human being, yet people firmly believe they already have an awakened consciousness.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

It is impossible to have objective knowledge as long as we have not attained selfconsciousness. People dream while they live and work; nevertheless, they mistakenly believe they are awake. During the normal dream state of the physical body, the ego, enveloped in its body of desires, sleepwalks through the molecular region, dreaming. On returning to the physical body and then to the waking state, the individual continues his dreams. Whoever awakens consciousness no longer dreams but awakens in the internal worlds while the physical body sleeps.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Language of Dreams

The first state of Consciousness is the normal, ordinary sleep. The pluralized “I” (enveloped by its Lunar Protoplasmic Bodies) abandons the Physical Body and ambulates within the Molecular World.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

The second state (mistakenly classified as a state of Vigil Consciousness) is in its depth, a simple continuation of our Dreams. Indeed, this state is much more dangerous than the first state.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

The Intellectual Animal divides his painful and miserable life between run-of-the-mill sleep and the improperly called Vigil state, which unfortunately is another form of sleep. While the physical body sleeps in bed, the Ego, enveloped in its Lunar Bodies, goes around with the consciousness asleep like a somnambulist moving freely in the molecular region.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Keys of Astral Travel

When the Ego enveloped in its Lunar Bodies returns to the Physical Body, then follows the second state of consciousness called Vigil State, which is after all nothing else but another form of sleep.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

That which we call the ordinary vigil-state consciousness is profound sleep. Ordinary consciousness of the vigil state is related to the five senses and the brain. People believe that they have an awakened consciousness and that is absolutely false. Daily, people live in the most profound sleep.

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

On some occasion we said that there are four levels of men, or four states of Consciousness, to be clearer. A first state of Consciousness is that of a person’s deep and unconscious sleep, of an Ego that left its body asleep in bed, but wanders in the molecular world in a “state of coma” –it is the inferior state–.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light also in Awakening

A second state of Consciousness is that of the dreamer who has returned to his physical body, and who believes that he is in a state of wakefulness. In this case, his dreams continue, it is just that his physical body is in a state of wakefulness. This second type of dreamer is more dangerous, because he can kill, he can steal, he can commit all kinds of crimes. On the other hand, in the first case, the dreamer, who is more infra-human, cannot do any of these things.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light also in Awakening

Keep in mind that there are four basic states of Consciousness. The first one is of the unconscious individual whose body sleeps profoundly in bed. The Ego, thus, wanders around in the Superior Worlds, in the astral world in a state of coma, sleepwalking.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening

We need self-conscious authority figures. Understand self-consciousness to mean integral self-knowledge, complete knowledge of all our inner values.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

Master: The question our brother asks is very interesting. Certainly, knowing how to pray and knowing how to listen is important, but it is necessary to know how to pray; that is what is difficult. First of all, it is necessary to know that there are four basic states of Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel Knowing How to Listen

In these two inhuman or infra-human states it is impossible to make a correct prayer, obviously not. In order to make a correct prayer, one has to resort to a third state of Consciousness: to the remembrance of oneself, of one’s own Being.

The Fifth Gospel Knowing How to Listen also in Identification, The Remembrance of Oneself

There is a third state of Consciousness that we could say is the one of self-remembering –of remembering the Being, the Consciousness, oneself, the Being–. This third state of Consciousness is very precious. We need to enter this third state of Consciousness, which is that of plenitude, of bliss, and it is not possible to pass to this state of Consciousness while we are trapped in the false personality. But if we manage to separate ourselves from the false personality, then we enter the third state of Consciousness, that of remembering ourselves, our own Being, the Consciousness of the Being. Thus we achieve the awakening of the Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening, Identification, Personality, The Remembrance of Oneself

Master: This is a case of intellectual derangement. That is a case of intellectual derangement of the intellectual center; in the center of the intellect; that is all. But let’s think about what the false personality really is. If we manage to liberate ourselves from that false personality, we actually establish ourselves in the third state of Consciousness, which is that of remembering ourselves, our own Being.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Remembrance of Oneself

That said, all of us have the birthright to the third state of Consciousness. Observe the new born babies: they live in the third state of Consciousness, that of remembering themselves, their own Being. Unfortunately, all of us, due to the false education received, the bad examples from our family members, we fall from the third state of Consciousness to the second state, which is like falling from heaven to hell.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in The Remembrance of Oneself

We are born in the third state of Consciousness and soon we fall into the second, in the misnamed “vigil state”, that is equal to falling –I repeat– from heaven to hell. It is in this hell of the second state of Consciousness where the “I’s” are born, where the psychic aggregates manifest themselves, where all the inhuman perverse elements that we have inside us, are strengthened. The second state of Consciousness is a true hell.

The Fifth Gospel Of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening, The Remembrance of Oneself

It is urgent to define the four states of the Consciousness for the benefit of our beloved readers: A) Eikasia. B) Pistis. C) Dianoia. D) Nous.

The Three Mountains, 1972

The first state of consciousness is called Eikasia.

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

The second state of consciousness is Pistis.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The third state of consciousness is Dianoia.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The fourth state of consciousness is Nous.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Pistis is the world of opinions and beliefs. Pistis is belief, prejudices, sectarianism, fanaticism, theories in which there does not exist any type of direct perception of the Truth. Pistis is the consciousness of the common level of humanity.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Fanaticism, The Words He Uses

Those who confuse the consciousness with psychological functions, thoughts, feelings, motor impulses and sensations, are in fact quite unconscious; they are deeply asleep. Those who acknowledge the existence of the consciousness, but who flat-out refuse to accept various degrees of consciousness, reveal a lack of conscious experience and the sleeping state of the consciousness.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, Fascination

Every person who has at least once momentarily awakened knows very well through personal experience that different degrees of consciousness exist in oneself that are observable.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

All men are similar in design and constitution, just as all the suns of infinite space are similar. That which distinguishes one man from another is his level of consciousness, just as what distinguishes one sun from another is its level of radiation. Light and consciousness are ultimately the same phenomenon. Light and consciousness obey the same laws, growing or diminishing in exactly the same way.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

It is really lamentable that this living zodiac of man the microcosm, sleeps so profoundly. On the basis of tremendous super efforts, it becomes indispensable to achieve the awakening of Consciousness in each of our twelve zodiacal signs.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, Conscious Works and Voluntary Sufferings, The Law of Correspondence

Light and Consciousness are two phenomena of a same thing; to a lesser degree of Consciousness, corresponds a lesser degree of Light; to a greater degree of Consciousness, a greater degree of Light.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

There are changes in consciousness and changes of consciousness. All of the processes of consciousness give rise to changes in consciousness. Changes in consciousness are superficial and fruitless. We need a change of consciousness. When we dissolve the lunar consciousness the solar consciousness is born in us.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

It is obvious and ostensible that his answers left me completely satisfied: “Yes, I am awakened, I have a physical body. However, in these very moments I feel that my consciousness is starting to sleep in degrees, slowly, little by little, in accordance with the attraction exerted by my dense vehicle, towards that which people call the State of Vigil .” The most interesting thing was that ineffable moment in which the Adept, while ecstatically floating within the sidereal environment, blessedly joined his two feet, in such a way that the souls of his feet made contact together. Then, it is evident that he fortified himself, his consciousness recovered its lucidity.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening

Answer: Distinguished friends, it is clear that on falling, there resurrects in a Bodhisattva, the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ and then, the golden embryo, the consciousness, comes to be indisputably trapped in such infrahuman factors. The result is that the consciousness in this case, loses a good percentage of its habitual lucidity, although it does not radically fall asleep.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, The Kundabuffer

This means that with a greater degree of consciousness, there is a greater degree of responsibility and that he who adds wisdom, adds pain.

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

Master: This matter of “responsible” has several meanings. We say responsible in the form of self-consciousness, responsible in the transcendental sense of the word. Of course karma will always exist, although the lesser the degree of Consciousness, the lesser the degree of karma. On the other hand, the greater the degree of Consciousness, the greater the degree of responsibility. “With much wisdom comes much sorrow”, says Solomon.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971 also in The Law of Karma

When we do not have a Golden Embryo we are responsible within a relative and circumstantial state; we are very much pitied and, really, we are not punished with all the rigor that we deserve. But when we acquire the Golden Embryo, we become truly responsible in the transcendental sense of the word, and then we pay twice as much the price of the actual offense committed, because the greater the degree of Consciousness, the greater the degree of responsibility. This is what I wanted to say. Is there any other question, brothers?

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971 also in The Law of Karma

The powerful Saturnine, Solar and Lunar civilizations still exist in the depth of our seminal system. We can enter into their dominions by means of interior meditation. The transition of the consciousness from one state into another is what we erroneously call time, but these states of consciousness are in a successive enchainment within an eternal now.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A Luciferic man has a body of flesh and blood like any man. The Edenic and Luciferic states are states of consciousness. Eden is the Etheric Plane. When man came out of Eden, his consciousness sunk into certain Luciferic atomic strata or regions. The human soul sunk into its own atomic infernos and lost its powers. That was the exit from Eden. This is how the Edenic man died and the Luciferic man was born.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Human Soul, Yesod

Cosmic consciousness has infinite degrees of development. The cosmic consciousness of a new Initiate is inferior to that of an Angel and that of the Angel can not have the development of an Archangel. In this there are degrees and degrees. This is the ladder of Jacob. It is impossible to achieve cosmic consciousness without Sanctity. It is impossible to obtain Sanctity without Love. Love is the path of Sanctity. The most grandiose manifestation of Love, is found during Sexual Magic. In these moments the man and woman are a single, terribly divine hermaphroditic being.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Love, Love — The Two Halves

Our consciousness must awake in ever higher planes.

Christ Consciousness, 1952 also in Awakening

Answer: Friends, the allegorical meaning of all religious writers, whether they be Christians, Buddhists, Moslems, etc. goes without question. The matter of heavens, refers to states of consciousness; indubitably our states of consciousness are altered in the struggle. The battle against the secret enemy can take us to definite liberation or radical failure.

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

It would certainly be incongruent to suppose, even for a moment, passionate temptations in divine, ineffable regions; because of this we should translate the word “heavens” as states of consciousness or as functionalisms of the essence, etc.

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

In the internal worlds, the word time is a synonym of esoteric degrees of the consciousness.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

Listen, men and gods! Initiations are awakenings of the consciousness, intimate matters of the consciousness. Let us learn how to be quiet, to be humble, modest. Authentic evolution is in the consciousness, not in the “I”. The “I” does not evolve; it complicates itself, that is all. Mineral consciousness evolves when it awakens as plant consciousness. Each mineral atom is the physical body of an elemental creature full of beauty. These mineral elementals have a language, their consciousness, they gather in tribes or families; they resemble innocent children.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Elemental Magic, Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Above the mineral rung is the sublime kingdom of plants. Plant consciousness also evolves until awakening as animal consciousness. Each plant is the body of an elemental child that aspires to enter the animal kingdom. Animal consciousness also evolves until awakening as human consciousness. Much later, man awakens as an Angel, Archangel, etc.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Elemental Magic

When this ray (the Spirit) incarnated for the first time into a savage and primitive human body, this ray awoke as a human being and had Self-consciousness of its own happiness. This ray could have returned towards its own star which guides its interior. But, disgracefully, within the profound bosom of the voracious and dense jungle, wild desire gave birth to the “I’.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

When the Spirit, after having passed through the mineral, plant, and animal states of consciousness, attains the human state, it can return into the Ain Soph to fuse with It.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The “I” does not evolve; it becomes complicated in every incarnation. Many call this process evolution. The simple people of thousands of years ago are the complicated and difficult people of this day and age. Evolution is performed within the consciousness of the mineral when this one awakens within the plant; the consciousness of the plant evolves when this one awakens within the animal; and the consciousness of the animal evolves when this one awakens within the human. ‘When the “I” dies totally in ourselves, then we are born within the Absolute. Nevertheless, before that, Satan offers us kingdoms and paradises. Those who yield convert themselves into corpses, into his slaves, and postpone throughout many incarnations their entrance within the ineffable joy of the Absolute.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Question: Master, you explained to us that with each cycle of existences, the elementals in the evolving process are awakening consciousness because they are processing themselves in more elevated octaves. This awakening of consciousness is perhaps the result of the sufferings of involution or is it the result of the ascending process? Answer: Distinguished friend, it is good that you understand that the conscience suffers both in the evolving processes as well as the involutive processes and that therefore on the basis of so many efforts and sacrifices it is progressively awakening.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation, Suffering

It is necessary to know that humanity lives with its consciousness asleep. People work sleeping. People walk through the streets sleeping. People live and die sleeping. When we come to the conclusion that the entire world lives sleeping, then we comprehend the necessity to awaken. We need the awakening of consciousness. We want the awakening of consciousness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

Normally, the consciousness sleeps deeply in the intellectual animal called “man”.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Identification

Rare, very rare, are the moments in which the consciousness is awake. The intellectual animal works, drives automobiles, gets married, dies, etc., all the while with his consciousness totally asleep, and only in quite special moments does it awaken.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

People live with Consciousness Asleep, they work dreaming, they drive cars dreaming and they also kill pedestrians who walk dreaming on the streets, absorbed in their own thoughts.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Fascination, Identification

Consciousness of the world and penetrates into his causal body. Such an affirmation is profoundly utopian for two reasons: 1) The three-brained, three-centred biped mistakenly called man, is always asleep here and now, not only has he already lost planetary Consciousness, furthermore - and this is worse - he continues to degenerate.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening

All human beings are one hundred percent mechanical. Unconscious beings working with their consciousness asleep without knowing where they come from, or where they are going; they are profoundly hypnotized.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening, Fascination, The Mechanical Man

Man is a sleeping machine. If you want to wake up from the deep sleep in which you live, do not become identified with pleasures, desires, emotions, dramas, the scenes of your life, etc., etc. Call yourself to vigilance every step of the way; remember, good disciple, that people are dreaming. Observe people as they dream, examine all the dreams in which humanity lives. However, do not become identified, so that you can awaken. People believe themselves to be awake since they are not lying down in bed… However, their consciousness is sound asleep and dreaming. All the things you see in people are simply dreams. Remember, to not become identified does not mean abandoning your duties as a father, a mother, a child, etc. Do not become identified and thus you will awaken from that deep sleep in which you live.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Awakening, Desire and Will, Fascination, Identification

Therefore, the human Consciousness is asleep. What is needed is to wake up? Of course, it is needed to get out of that state of unconsciousness in which one finds himself. If you had the Consciousness awake, you could see, hear, touch the great mysteries of life and death, but you are asleep. What year were you born?

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Fascination, Identification

Master: With the utmost pleasure we will give some explanations related to the awakening of the Consciousness. First of all, it is indispensable to understand, my dear brothers, that the Consciousness of human beings is asleep, unfortunately. People do not want to understand that they are asleep, they all think they are awake, but they asleep. People drive cars dreaming, they do business dreaming, they walk on the streets convinced they are awake, but they sleep profoundly, they dream.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in Awakening, Fascination

We can assure you that there is a ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and a three percent of Consciousness. Speaking in other terms, we would say that ninety-seven percent of the Consciousness is asleep and that there is only three percent of awakened Consciousness. However, there are people who do not reach the three percent of awakened Consciousness, normally they reach two percent, and there are those who only reach one percent. But if we tell people that their Consciousness is asleep, they would not believe it, rather they would be offended. It is hard to tell people that they sleep, because they do not believe you, they think they are awake, or they think that we are hurting them, that we are offending them.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Essence, The Subconscious

It is useless to fill our heads with more and more theories, and to quote Dante, Homer, Virgil, etc., if our consciousness is asleep, if we do not have a clear and objective consciousness about ourselves, about the subjects we study and about everyday life.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Fascination, Identification

It is necessary to stop dreaming, to awaken consciousness, and that process of awakening should begin at home and at school.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

The individual man himself, and no one else but he, can realize for an instant, for a moment, that before that instant, before that moment, he was not truly conscious; that his consciousness was asleep. Afterwards he will forget that experience, or retain it as a memory; as the memory of a powerful experience.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

Within this painful planet on which we live, there exist many Asleep Pseudo-Esoteric and Pseudo-Occultist people who dream that they have awakened; meanwhile, they do not comprehend that they are trapped within the dream of their Consciousness’s paws and that many shadows of vengeance are lurking within their interior.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

If the devotees had full consciousness of the Christic gospel preached by the Great Kabir Jesus, it is obvious that so many sects would not exist; truly there would be only one Christic religion of a universal cosmic type. However, the believers are not able to agree among themselves because they have their consciousness asleep; they know nothing. Nothing is evident to them. They have never personally talked with an Angel; they have never consciously and positively entered the celestial regions. They walk because others walk, eat because others eat, talk because others talk, and in this manner they proceed from the cradle to the sepulcher with blindfolded eyes.

The asleep machine, the humanoid automaton is very far from being able to comprehend the difference between objective consciousness and subjective consciousness; the machine has its own thesis precisely based on the profound sleep of the consciousness. It is not possible in any manner to make an asleep profane person comprehend the difference between consciousness and subconsciousness, between objectivity and subjectivity, between sleep and vigil, etc.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Mechanical Man

Only by awakening consciousness is it possible to accept such differences. Unfortunately, the profane person believes himself to be awake and is even offended when someone tells him that his consciousness is asleep. Talking in Socratic language we would say that the learned ignoramuses, the asleep profane person, the unconscious machine does not only ignore but also ignores that it ignores; does not only not know but also and what is worse, does not know that it does not know.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

It is necessary to awaken consciousness so as to not fall into the abyss of perdition. At present, there are many leaders of esoteric groups whose consciousness is deeply asleep. “The blind leading the blind will all tumble to the Abyss.” That is the Law.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Awakening, Fascination

But it is necessary to awaken. The four Gospels insist on the need to awaken, but we continue asleep. We do not know that we are asleep. If people knew that they have the Consciousness asleep, they would initiate the awakening.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

How can we orient ourselves? In what way? Obviously, we must be interested in the awakening of the Consciousness. Only like this can we truly walk successfully within that mysterious labyrinth. But as long as we have not awakened, we will be confused. Some even get enthusiastic about these studies momentarily and then abandon them. There are those who, with their heads filled with theories, think they have already discovered the Secret Path, even though they are sound asleep.

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening

On the other hand, we see on the path of life, amid the diverse schools and denominations, sects, orders, etc., people with heads filled with theories, individuals with rich erudition, but with a completely asleep Consciousness; learned ignoramuses who not only do not know, but what is worse, they do not even know that they do not know. Those get lost. Having fulfilled their one hundred and eight existences, they enter the submerged involution of the Infernal Worlds. But they think they are doing very well, that’s for sure; and when questioned, they demonstrate a surprising erudition: sparkling minds with flashing concepts, with luminous, convincing and definitive proverbs. But what is the use of all that to them?

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Fascination, Identification

First of all, we need to awaken in order to know how we are going to orient ourselves. What would be the use for us to have our heads filled with words, if we continue with our Consciousness asleep? It would be better to be illiterate, but awakened.

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Fascination, Identification

If we really want to awaken, we have to start by recognizing that we are asleep. When someone recognizes that he is asleep, it is a sure sign that he is already starting to awaken. But it is not about recognizing it intellectually, no; anyone can automatically say: “Yes, I am asleep”; another thing is to be conscious that he is asleep, and that is different. There is a great difference between the intellect and the Consciousness.

Unquestionably, the essence or consciousness which is the same, sleeps deeply.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence

The Consciousness is asleep among the multitudes.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening

As long as the ego, the ‘I’ continues to dwell within us, then, unquestionably, the Consciousness will continue to sleep.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Disgracefully, the Essence, the Consciousness, is found bottled up within these psychic aggregates. Thus, the Consciousness processes itself by virtue of its own embottlement. Now we better comprehend why humanity is found in such a hypnotic state, unconscious and asleep.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening, Fascination, The Essence

Obviously, psychological defects make us abnormal, that is, the inhabitants of Earth have an abnormal psyche, they are crazy, terribly crazy, but they do not realize it. I want you to understand that the Consciousness is bottled up among all those psychic aggregates which together constitute the Ego, the Myself, the “I Myself’. People think that they are awake, but they are mistaken, they sleep profoundly: they drive cars with the Consciousness asleep, they work asleep, they walk on the streets asleep, they live asleep, but they believe that they are awake.

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

Well, the Master was right. What will the people with the Consciousness asleep know about what they are doing? If those people had known that the one they were hanging on that log was the Son of God –the Christ, no less!– I am sure they would not have hung Him. But they did not even remotely suspect it, that is why they did not believe him. And why did they not suspect it? Because those poor people had the Consciousness asleep, bottled up among the “I’s”.

When they raised their eyes toward the infinite, they could perceive other planetary humanities. The planets of space were visible to the ancient people in a different way, for they saw the aura of the planets, and they could perceive as well the Planetary Genies. But when the human Consciousness became imprisoned within all those “I’s” or psychic aggregates which constitute the Myself, the “I”, the Ego, then the Consciousness fell asleep. Now, it processes itself by virtue of its own bottling.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Awakening, Fascination, The Essence

Now, unfortunately, humanity has atrocious-ly involuted. In these times, humanity is in a state of expiration. If we do not worry about self-discovering, about knowing ourselves better, we will continue with the Consciousness asleep, stuck among all the “I’s” that we carry within us.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

Certainly, their merit, their courage was highly praised; they truly deserve it. But there is something else: there is no doubt that these men were asleep; yes, their Consciousness was profoundly asleep. If it had been awakened, it would not have occurred to them to go inside a dynamite store.

But the people, who have the Consciousness perfectly asleep, who know nothing about these things, who do not believe in any of these things, fly flags, radiate slogans, fight for democracy, to make a better world, etc. Thus, people are asleep, they sleep profoundly, and will continue to sleep until they resolve to put an end to all those “I’s” that personify our mistakes and that we carry inside ourselves, here and now.

Nowadays, all of you, without exceptions, have the consciousness asleep; it is trapped, bottled up in the Myself, in the Oneself, and in the Ego.

The Fifth Gospel Of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Awakening, Identification

Ordinary human beings –or better said, ordinary humanoids– cannot see the supra-sensitive worlds, they do not have the transcendental faculties that allow them to penetrate into the mysteries of life and death. This is simply because their Consciousness is asleep. The Consciousness is the Essence itself, and it is asleep because it is imprisoned within all the “I’s” that constitute our psychological errors. We need to dissolve those “I’s” for the Essence or the Consciousness to free itself. Only on the basis of profound comprehension and with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini –the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers– can we destroy, annihilate all those “I’s” which constitute our Ego, our Myself. As these “I’s” are annihilated, the Essence gets unbottled, and when the Essence is totally liberated, then we awaken, we can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Science of Meditation

In the name of truth, I have to tell you that, first of all, the disintegration of the Myself is urgent, it becomes unpostponable. When the psychological “I” is totally disintegrated, when it is reduced to ashes, when the animal Ego ceases to exist, the Consciousness remains completely enlightened. One can see the Elohim, one can talk to them face-to-face; one can see, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds; one can visit Nirvana, Paranirvana and Maha-Paranirvana, etc. But while the Consciousness is asleep, we will not be more than mere intellectuals condemned to the penalty of living, and that is all.

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

The time of great revolutions has come, the time in which we have to decide on the to be or not to be of philosophy, the time when we have to take up arms against ourselves, against the world, against Nature, against the Cosmos, against everything and against everyone. The time has come when we must break the shackles and leave this prison of misery in which we live. Such a prison is called the Ego. As long as we do not destroy this miserable prison, this filthy dungeon, our Consciousness will continue to be imprisoned there, functioning by virtue of its own conditioning, asleep, inert. Now you will comprehend why I care so much, why I said tonight that the main thing is to die. That is how it is, that is how it will be and that is how it must be!

The world has “Seven Dimensions”; however, the Intellectual Animal only perceives three because his Consciousness is asleep.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening, Fascination

Ordinary people whose consciousness is asleep, perceive angles, lines, and surfaces subjectively, but never the complete bodies from inside and outside, from the top and from the bottom, from the front and from the back, etc. They can perceive the void aspect of things even less.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

We should Awaken Consciousness in the Word, in the Creative Larynx, in order for it to one day also be able to pronounce the Spermatic and Luminous Fiat of the first instant. Consciousness sleeps in our larynx; we are unconscious with the word; we need to become fully Conscious of the Word.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening, The Mantras

The human being, or better if we say, the poor intellectual animal mistakenly called man, has his consciousness completely asleep. Therefore, he certainly is incapable of vividly experiencing that which is not from time, that which is the Reality.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening

Consciousness that sleeps, how different you would be if you would awake. You would know the seven paths of happiness, the light of your love would shine everywhere, the birds would rejoice within the mystery of their forest, the light of the Spirit would shine and joyfully, the elementals from Nature would sing for you their verses of gold.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening

Each time that we eliminate a psychological defect, we liberate the Essence, the Consciousness. On this path, on this track, one reaches complete awakening. When the animal Ego has been absolutely reduced to dust, the Consciousness has reached a one-hundred-percent awakening.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness also in Awakening, Psychological Death

We must awaken at all costs! It is lamentable that the intellectual animal, mistakenly called man, has his Consciousness asleep. It is certain and absolutely true that out of a million of phenomena that happen around us, the intellectual animal only perceives a millionth part of them. This is sad, but it is the truth. People live with the Consciousness asleep, they appear like sleepwalkers; they work in an unconsciousness state, they drive cars in a totally unconscious state. That is the causa causarum due to which human beings do not know the mysteries of life and death.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness also in Fascination, Identification

And death, what about it? What is there beyond death? Does any of you know it, know it from direct experience? None! You all live a little bit of life –which, by the way, is very bitter– for a few years. Before birth, you do not know anything; after death, you do not know anything! For a few years you live there with the Consciousness asleep, struggling to put food on the table, struggling to pay the rent, or wear these rags so as not to walk around naked, struggling for some love, for a being to love, an attachment. Then comes death, and what then? What do you know about death? Nothing, right?

The Fifth Gospel The Consequences of Psychological Plurality Public Lecture also in Fascination, Identification

So, the harsh reality of the facts is that all people have their Consciousness asleep. If they had it awake, they would know where they were before birth. If you had it awake you would know what awaits you after death. But you do not know anything about that because your Consciousness is asleep.

The Fifth Gospel The Consequences of Psychological Plurality Public Lecture also in Fascination, Identification

So, human beings have the Consciousness of sleepwalkers: they walk asleep. It would be interesting to awaken the Consciousness, that would indeed be interesting, because then one could perceive by himself, directly, the truth. If one were to awaken the Consciousness, one would know the mysteries of life and death. But while one is as he is, with the Consciousness asleep, what can he know about the mysteries of life and death. Nothing, zilch!

The Fifth Gospel The Consequences of Psychological Plurality Public Lecture also in Fascination, Identification

First of all, [one must] not allow the mind and the feelings to meddle in the various circumstances of life; the human personality must become calm, passive. This implies, in fact, a tremendous activity of the Consciousness; this means to learn to live consciously; this means to lay the foundations for the awakening. Everyone would like to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. But, really, how could sleeping people become exper-imenters of the great realities? How could those who have their Consciousness in dreams, be researchers of life in the supra-sensitive regions of Nature and of the Cosmos?

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in Awakening, Fascination, Personality

This million phenomena, in fact, which happen around us are ignored by us. We only notice one in a million. Concrete physical phenomena, and yet, we ignore them. What can you tell me about this? So our Consciousness is fast asleep, isn’t it? It is stuck inside that whole bunch of people we carry inside.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening, The Many I’s

Rains, contrarieties, vain swift happiness, originate new and annoying “I’s” Nevertheless, the wretched Human Marionette does not have even the smallest notion of these changes, because his consciousness is asleep, his sense of being is always within the last manifested “I”

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Fascination

As soon as the poor intellectual animal awakens even if it is only for a short moment — and opens his eyes to the crude reality of life, immediately the hypnotic power of the terrible serpent of the abyss charges back with increasing force. Then the unfortunate victim falls asleep again, and dreams that he is awakening or on the eve of awakening. Only sincere Gnostics who fully understand the difficulty of awakening consciousness know that this is possible only by means of conscious works and voluntary sufferings. The terrible infernal viper knows the whole modus operandi of mechanical imagination. We would never reject objective and conscious imagination, which is diaphanous and translucent.

Although it may seem incredible, all human beings are in a state of “collective hypnosis”. Such hypnosis is produced by the residual state of the abominable Kundartiguador organ; when the latter was eliminated, the different psychic aggregates or inhuman elements which in their mass constitute the myself, the oneself, remained. These elements and subelements, in turn, condition the consciousness and keep it in a state of hypnosis. In this manner, therefore, hypnosis of a collective type exists. The entire world is hypnotized! The mind is engrossed in the world of the five senses and does not manage to comprehend how it could become independent of them; it firmly believes that it is a god. Our interior life, the true life of thoughts and feelings, continues being confused for our mere reasoning and intellective conceptions. Nonetheless, at the same time we know very well that the place where we really live is our world of thoughts and feelings; this is something that no one can deny.

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

Naturally, they memorize absolutely subjective parts about things that existed or never existed; comedies, dramas, which may or may not have any reality, which are only productions of their minds, and the honorable audience, in front of the stage floor, “sleeps” terribly. When I say “sleeps”, I put it in quotation marks. I want to affirm, in an emphatic way, that the Consciousness of those who attend enters into the most profound drowsiness due to sleep.

When we observe the humanoids, both in life and after death, we see that they are absolutely irresponsible, machines controlled by the various aggregates. The latter fight for supremacy. Each one of them wants to control the capital centers of the machine, that is the harsh reality. In that sense, all humanoids are irresponsible. The psychic aggregates are the result of the consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ. We also said that the Consciousness is bottled up within the Ego, and that it processes itself according to its own conditioning. Now then, if the Ego is the result of the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, this means that the Consciousness is hypnotized by that universal hypnotic force. All humanoids are victims of that hypnotic force, but people do not realize the harsh reality until such hypnotic energy flows more rapidly, in a precipitated and concentrated way, as in the hypnotic sessions.

Now, if we observe the basic life of people, we will see unusual, terrible extravagances, but for everything there is a justification. We would say: such hippy fashion, an extravagance in the way of dressing; that someone turns out to be doing something out of fashion –as they say–, these are whims. For everything there is a justification, but the harsh reality of things is that everyone is hypnotized and they do not know it. The hypnotic force comes –I repeat– from the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, this is true. The Ego comes from the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, and as the latter is subjective, it is processed within the Ego in a subjective way. This means that the Consciousness is hypnotized, it is a victim of hypnosis, a hypnosis produced by the abominable Kundartiguador Organ. Now we can understand the reason for the lack of responsibility of many personalities.

The Fifth Gospel Of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination

The lunar consciousness sleeps deeply; this is the result of a memory that is unfaithful. The human being is only conscious of what he remembers; no one is conscious of the things that one does not remember. The Sinning Adam is memory. He is the “I” that dies and is reborn; this is the lunar consciousness.

But while that temple is full of strange elements –things, furniture, showcases, animals, representations, aggregates– it can be said that a profound sleep exists in the Consciousness. If there is unconsciousness, there has to be vague, morbid, fatuous, foolish, incoherent in principle, imprecise etc. dreams.

The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in The Language of Dreams

Usually, people, when facing life, do not receive the experiences directly in the Consciousness, no; they have a series of terrible preconceptions, prejudices in the mind. Any challenge is immediately shielded by some prejudices or preconceptions. Everything that happens in life does not reach the Consciousness directly, but rather all that multiplicity of prejudices that we have within, all that diversity of mistaken and contradictory feelings, but never the Consciousness and, as a consequence, we remain asleep our entire life.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977 also in Awakening, Fascination

Let us look at a neurasthenic old man, who is eighty years old, for example, rancid and blun-dering in his thinking, bottled up in some dogma; he has a feeling of himself that is totally mistaken. When something reaches him, it does not touch his Consciousness; everything that reaches him, reaches his mind, and the latter, as it is full of so many prejudices, customs, mechanical habits, etc., it reacts according to its own conditioning: it reacts violently, cowardly, etc.

And at last, when the one who was a child becomes an adult, things change: he is no longer that playful, self-conscious child of past times, no; now he is the scoundrel of the bar, the businessman, the lustful person, the jealous man, etc. In short, he has become that which the child looked at with horror. It is clear that the child is horrified upon seeing the adult; now the child has become an adult, and the worst part is that his Consciousness has fallen asleep, he is no longer able to look at himself with horror.

It is difficult for an individual to embrace the whole of the Teaching, due to the fact that he is hypnotized. The most serious thing is that he does not realize that he is in a state of hypnosis, that is what is most serious. I already explained to you what has happened with the Consciousness. Unfortunately, it now works with two systems instead of one. It happens that when we are born –as I told you in my previous conference– we bring all the data we need to become real men. But our parents, our relatives, our teachers at school, our friends, are in a state of unconsciousness that is projected into our psyche: all the fascinations from the state they are in, their lack of culture, their famous elementary [schools] that are worthless, their much-vaunted secondary [school], things of asleep people, etc.

The Fifth Gospel Of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973 also in Fascination, Identification

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 Of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination, Personality, The Subconscious

Behold, my dear brothers, a Consciousness divided in two: authentic Consciousness and false Consciousness. Also, the circulation of blood is a consequence of this error. We know that, during the waking state, the blood vessel system works in one way and during sleep, in another. During wakefulness certain vessels of the general system are filled, and at night other vessels of that system are filled. Such a system gives a total divided into two –two circulation systems–, all resulting from our error. Nature itself had to adapt to our insanity –with apologies to our brothers here who dedicate themselves to pedagogy–.

The Fifth Gospel Of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973

I had to make myself an exception. I will start by defining which was my true Consciousness and which was the false one. I had to start by discarding that false Consciousness that had been formed by my relatives, my school and college teachers, my students, and to release my authentic Consciousness, that which had rejected books and was mistakenly called subconsciousness; to eliminate what I had learned, the false Consciousness that I had formed during my life, and to bring to the surface the authentic Consciousness, to discard the false. It is clear that this work has been very difficult: to eliminate from the body the impressions that were deposited in me, those that I had received during my life in the sensory world.

The Fifth Gospel Of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973

Initiation is not a matter of theories, but of realities. “Absolutely practical.” The first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness. It happens that human beings during the normal hours of sleep, when they are not in the physical body, they roam around through the Astral absolutely asleep and they concern themselves with the same things of the day. These sleeping people are not of use as initiates. I know hundreds of theosophists and rosacrucians that do nothing but live asleep and even though they pay dues and read books, and show themselves to be authoritarians before others, at heart, they a re nothing but poor sleeping people. So, the first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness, and in order for that there is a necessity to cultivate discernment.

The brothers of the different spiritualist schools live in the astral with an asleep consciousness. When a brother enters the path, the tenebrous ones of the lunar path customarily attack him during his dreams. The brothers of the shadow take up the figure of the guru to lead disciples astray. We should now comprehend that it is a crime not to teach disciples the practical use and handling of the astral body. It is necessary for disciples to awaken consciousness during sleep in order for them to be able to defend themselves from tenebrous attacks.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

During sleep, every human being wanders in the internal worlds with consciousness asleep. The soul enveloped in its astral body abandons the physical body during sleep. This is how the Etheric Body can repair the dense body.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

Therefore, it is indispensable for the dreamer to awake, it is urgent to awaken the consciousness. All the human beings travel in astral body during the hours of sleep, but they disgracefully live in the astral plane with the consciousness asleep. They are sleeping wanderers.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

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

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

Humanity lives during sleep and after death in the suprasensible regions of the great Mother Nature. Unfortunately, people act with their consciousness asleep while in the suprasensible worlds.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Awakening

Positive clairvoyance is possessed only by the souls who live awakened in the suprasensible worlds. Indeed, those who possess continuous consciousness, whether out of their body when it is asleep or inside it when it is awake, are always in the state of watchfulness. They are positive clairvoyants. They possess continuous consciousness.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Awakening, Clairvoyance

During the hours of sleep, every human travels in the Astral, floats out of the Physical Body. Unfortunately, human beings wander during sleep, in the Internal Worlds with their conscience absolutely asleep also. Usually, they dedicate themselves to the same tasks of daily life. If someone was to awaken consciousness when dedicated to nocturnal tasks, he or she will have the opportunity of contemplating with their astral eyes all the marvels of the Superior Worlds, and will be able to dedicate himself or herself to the study of the Great Mysteries of Life and Death.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

To travel within the astral body is not dangerous. During our state of slumber, all of us human beings wander within the internal worlds with our consciousness asleep. Every soul abandons its physical body during the state of slumber. During this process, the ethereal body has the opportunity to repair the physical body. We awaken from this normal process of sleeping when the soul returns into the physical body.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

While in the internal worlds, the souls occupy themselves in the same daily chores that they perform on Earth during the vigil state; they buy, sell, work in their office, in the shop, in the factory, in the fields, etc. The incarnated and disincarnated souls live together during the sleepy state. Everything is the same in the internal worlds: the sun, the clouds, the cities, all things. It is enough to assist a spiritist’s (medium’s, channeler’s) session to become aware of the fact that the dead do not accept that they are dead and to comprehend why the souls of the living love, suffer, fight and work during the sleepy state. We must learn to preserve the lucidity of the consciousness during the state of slumber.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

Gnostic students should learn to differentiate between dreams and visions. To dream is one thing and to have visions, another. No truly “awakened” Gnostic can dream. Only those who have the consciousness asleep live dreaming. The worst type of dreamer is the sexual dreamer. Those who live dreaming of carnal passions stupidly waste their creative energy in the satisfaction of their fantastic pleasures. Ordinarily, these people do not progress in their affairs. They fail in every sense. They end up in misery.

The necessity of attaining the awakening of the Consciousness is indisputable, if sincerely what we want is the illumination.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Awakening

Certainly and in the name of truth, we shall say with great honesty that only by awakening consciousness can we see the narrow, strait and difficult path, that leads to light How could those who sleep, see the path? Could the mind perhaps discover the truth? It is written in words of gold in the great book of universal life that the mind cannot recognize what it has never known.

All the religions of the world speak of the “profound inner Enlightenment”. Buddhists in Asia, for example, aspire to Enlightenment, they want Enlightenment. However, this is not possible until the awakening of Consciousness is achieved. An awakened Consciousness is an enlightened Consciousness, a revolutionary Consciousness, rebellious, grandiose, sublime, and terribly divine.

That is why I say: we must disintegrate the actors of each comedy, of each drama and of each tragedy; they are within ourselves. If we disintegrate them, only the awakened Consciousness remains in us, the sacred, enlightened individual, with full knowledge of the mysteries of life and death.

The interesting thing is to work daily until there is not even one, not even a single defect. If one succeeds, he will remain awake. And the one who remains awake can change the body at will. I, for example, can leave this body and enter another body at will. Why? Because, simply, my Consciousness woke up. I worked very hard in ancient eternities in order to achieve the awakening of the Consciousness. And that is a huge advantage: to walk awake, to know where one comes from, to know where one is going, what exists before birth, what is beyond death.

And an absolutely awakened Consciousness is a Consciousness that can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. A fully awakened Consciousness is a Consciousness that knows directly the mysteries of life and death.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity

Before the Bodhisattva arises within someone, the Bodhicitta arises, that is, the awakened and developed Consciousness. See for yourselves then, how much this gift called Consciousness is worth.

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

The awakening of consciousness initiates the development of the spatial sense and the experience of that which is real.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

The chakras mentioned by Mr. Leadbeater and many other authors relate to the spatial sense in the same way as flowers relate to the tree, which gives them life. What is important is the tree. The spatial sense is the awakened consciousness functioning normally. All truly awakened people can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste everything that happens in the forty-nine subconscious levels of Yaldabaoth.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening, The Chakras

Someone who awakens his consciousness experiences the tremendous truth that he is no longer a slave, and, with pain, is able to verify that people walking down the street are dreaming and appear as true walking cadavers.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

If this awakening of consciousness becomes continuous by means of inner selfremembering from moment to moment, then one arrives at objective consciousness, at pure consciousness, at the void aspect of mind. The illuminated consciousness is necessary to experience what is real and reduce the pluralized Ito cosmic dust, but this state is still on the edge of samsara (the painful world in which we live).

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Identification, The Remembrance of Oneself

The development of Spatial Sense is only possible once the Consciousness is awakened. The clear perception of the Superior Dimensions of Space is only possible with the “awakening of the Consciousness.”

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

It is manifestly clear that when the Consciousness awakens, voluntary astral projection is no longer a problem.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

All human beings live within the supra-sensible worlds with the consciousness asleep. Meditation provokes the solemn awakening of the consciousness.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening, The Science of Meditation

This awakening is like lightning in the night. This awakening of the consciousness occurs during the normal sleep of our physical body. We move ourselves in our internal vehicles when this body sleeps.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening

The soul travels throughout the superior worlds when the body sleeps. We stop dreaming when the consciousness awakes. Then we live in the internal worlds in a state of intensified awareness. This is what is called “continuous consciousness”.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

Whosoever has awakened the consciousness lives awake in the Superior Worlds.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening

There are many pseudo-occultists and pseudo-esotericists who spread fear-mongering rumours against voluntary projection of the astral body. It is false and harmful to the Great Work of the Father to make people fearful of projecting the astral body. In fact, projecting the astral body is not dangerous because every human being projects the astral body during the hours of normal sleep. Unfortunately, people walk in their astral body with the consciousness asleep. Peo ple do not know how to project at will their astral bodies. There is no danger whatsoever in becoming conscious of ones own natural functions, which are eating, drinking, marrying and projecting the astral body. These functions are completely natural. If travelling in the astral body were dangerous as the fear mongers state, by now there would be no one living on the Earth because everybody projects the astral body, and still worse, they do so with the consciousness asleep. Nevertheless nothing happens. And so...?

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Fear, The Keys of Astral Travel

At the moment, the planet Mercury is coming out of a cosmic night. As it leaves its state of rest, the hierarchies of this planet will be come more and more active. The Lords of Mercury propose to teach the inhabitants of the Earth, in a practical way, the art of entering and leaving the physical body at will. In the future all humans must consciously project the astral body. This then, is a Law of Nature, a Cosmic Commandment, and everything opposed to this law is a crime. Really, those who spread this kind of fearmongery, unconsciously act as black magicians when they do so. The special objective of the Universal Spirit of Life is to become conscious of itself in all dimensions of space. In principle, the Uni versal Spirit of Life does not know itself. It is happy, but it does not have consciousness of its own happiness. Happiness without con sciousness of it, is not happiness. The Universal Spirit of Life descends into matter to become conscious of itself. The Great Reality arises from its own bosom in the dawn of the whole universe, and contemplates itself in the living mirror of nature. That is how it comes to know itself. In this way a vibratory mental activity is created through which the Great Reality contemplates its infinite images on the cosmic stage. This activity moving from the periphery to the centre, is called Universal Mind. We all live submerged in the infinite ocean of the Universal Mind. The intellectual activity of the Universal Mind springs from a centripetal force. Every action is followed by a reaction. The centripetal force, on finding its resistance in the centre, logically reacts and creates a centrifugal activity called Cosmic Soul. This vibratory Soul becomes a mediator between the centre and the periphery, between the Universal Spirit of Life and matter, between the Great Reality and its cosmic images.

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

The Great Master Paracelsus, said, “The Soul is the product of the centrifugal action of universal activity, impelled by the centripetal action of the imagination of the universe.” At the moment, the human being has only the embryo of a Soul within his astral ghost, but this embryo should be strengthened and self-awakened. The awakening of cosmic consciousness in man is the most grandiose event in the universe.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Human Soul

In these moments, the Great White Lodge is intensely occupied with the awakening of human consciousness. The Adepts struggle in tensely to teach the human being to leave at will in the astral body. They want people to awaken, and all that goes against this great law is a crime. The whole objective of the descent of Spirit into matter is to create Soul, and to become self-conscious of itself. When we direct mental power towards the interior of our own intimate centre, the resistance that we will find internally will cause a reaction, and the more vigorous the centripetal force that we apply, the more vigorous will be the resulting centrifugal force. Thus we create Soul. Thus we invigorate the embryo of the Soul, and finally one day, when we have already been born as Serpent Rirds, we will come fletely absorb and assimilate within our astral body, the totality of the Soul.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, The Human Soul, The Secret Weapon of the Ego

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

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Those symbols that he saw when he dreamt, when he tried to comprehend the go during meditation, now be sees them without dreaming; before be saw them with asleep consciousness, now he moves around among them with the consciousness of the vigil state even when his body is profoundly asleep.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening

Now our beloved readers must reflect and understand how difficult it is to awaken the Consciousness, to become a "Lion's Cub", understand True Zen and experience TAO. It is not so easy to awaken the Consciousness; it is necessary to liberate the Essence, to remove it from within its subconscious (habitation), to destroy such habitats, turning them to dust. This is a gradual process, very slow, painful and difficult.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Human Soul, The Subconscious

The awakening of the consciousness, the radical and absolute change becomes impossible without the death of the pluralized ‘I’. The coming of the new is only possible through death.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening

We need to learn to voluntarily direct all the functionalisms of our psyche; it is not good that we continue converted into slaves; we should become masters and lords of ourselves. As the undesirable elements are being eliminated, consciousness is awakening.

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

The definite awakening of the Consciousness is possible only by means of a radical transformation.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

As one continues to disintegrate all those inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry in our interior, the consciousness continues to awaken.

For the Few, 1980 also in Awakening, The Science of Meditation

Awaken! Yes, this is wonderful! All of you would like to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds, but you sleep. How could one reach the experience of the real if they have the Consciousness asleep? But if one destroys the Ego, the Consciousness awakens and then it knows the real.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification

But for the Essence to be able to travel, it must slowly disintegrate all those psychic aggregates in which the Consciousness is bottled up. When all the aggregates are disintegrated, when the Consciousness is liberated from everything, it will awaken. And once awakened –as a truly celestial Man–, it will initiate its return from the personality to the house of the Father, the world of the Spirit.

The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence, The Human Soul

So, the journey is indispensable in order to reach the stars, to return to the house of the Father who has always smiled upon us. But the awakening of the Consciousness is necessary. The Consciousness could not awaken to initiate its journey, if the Ego is not disintegrated. We have to turn it into dust. Only like this, does the free, sovereign, awakened Consciousness, master of itself, begin its journey back to the house of the Father. That is the meaning of the parable of the prodigal son. And it is very important to comprehend this parable.

The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974 also in Awakening, Psychological Death

It is indispensable that our Gnostic brothers concern themselves about awakening. It is required that they truly dedicate themselves to the dissolution of the Ego, of the “I”, of the Myself, of the Oneself, may this be their main concern. As they die in themselves, the Consciousness will become more and more objective and the possibilities of dreaming will diminish progressively.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Language of Dreams

You want to be awake in the astral, in the mental, etc., but you do not worry about dying and what is most serious is that you confuse the dreams with true mystical experiences. One thing are dreams, which are only simple projections of the subconscious, and another thing are the mystical, real experiences. Any authentic mystical experience demands the state of alertness and an awakened Consciousness; I could not conceive a mystical experience with the Consciousness asleep.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams

Such possibilities exist as long as the “I” exists. Therefore, we need to disintegrate all those multiple “I’s” that we carry within, to turn them into dust. Thus the Consciousness is awakened, it is illuminated.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Many I’s

The greater the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the greater the degree of self-cognizance. The lesser the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the lesser the percentage of awakened Consciousness.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening

Therefore, the awakening of Consciousness is only possible by dissolving the “I,” by dying in oneself, here and now.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening, Psychological Death

Unquestionably, as long as the Essence or Consciousness continues bottled up within each one of the “I” that we carry within our interior, it will always be asleep, in a subconscious state.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening, The Essence, The Subconscious

In any case as the essence is liberated, as the ego begins to be dissolved, the capacity for direct investigation will also increase in a progressive and orderly manner. The exercise of division of attention in three parts, just as we have explained in this talk will allow us to evince to satiation, the degree of consciousness acquired.

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

Only the Resurrected Adepts possess one hundred percent of awakened Consciousness. The psychic aggregates multiply themselves within the intellectual animal. Thus, logically speaking, they steal the Light from him.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Awakening

We cannot deny that the highest levels of the Being, which are the sixth and seventh levels, are very difficult. However, based on conscious works and voluntary sufferings, it is possible to disintegrate the psychic aggregates that we have in the sixth and seventh levels. Whoever achieves it will, in fact, achieve absolute, total Enlightenment, the most complete awakening of Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Conscious Works and Voluntary Sufferings, Psychological Death, Suffering

Once we have reached the conclusion that those are the ones that are causing us pain, then we must work to disintegrate them, and the pain disappears, it is eliminated. Why? Because it has been sacrificed, and that brings an increase of Consciousness, because those energies, which were involved in the pain, are released. It not only brings the peace of the tranquil heart, but it also brings an increase of Consciousness, a growth of Consciousness. That is called sacrificing pain.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

Master: It could be said Paramarthasatya. But such heights are not reached except through successive awakenings of the Consciousness, and one cannot reach those successive awakenings of the Consciousness except by sacrificing pain, by learning to sacrifice one’s own sufferings. Because, in reality and in truth, every time one sacrifices a suffering, one’s Consciousness grows and one acquires more psychological strength.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Entropy and Sacrifice, Suffering

Thus, my dear brothers, we must reflect profoundly. Someone could start by improving his percentage of Consciousness, by having five or ten percent. In any case, as the Ego dissolves, the percentage of Consciousness will increase; and as the percentage of Consciousness increases, the ability to investigate in the Superior Worlds becomes greater and greater.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974

When one has succeeded in destroying some “I”, one’s Consciousness increases. Little by little the Consciousness is multiplying, it becomes more and more intensive, until a day comes when it is completely awakened.

The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening

We have to acknowledge that the present humanity is subconscious. People like this are incapable of knowing the superior dimensions of space. It is urgent to awaken the consciousness and this is only possible during ecstasy. If we analyse ecstasy with dialectic logic, we discover that it is sexual. The same sexual energies that express in erotic pleasure, when transmuted and sublimated, awaken the consciousness and then produce ecstasy.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity, The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy

The most serious error of many ignorant pseudo-esoterists and pseudo occultists is that of presuming of being Self-Conscious and to believe, moreover, that everyone is awake, that all people posses Self-Consciousness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

If we want to arrive at the Awakening of Consciousness, at Self-Consciousness, we have to work with the Consciousness here and now. It is precisely here in this physical world where we should work to Awaken Consciousness. Whoever awakens here awakens everywhere, in all the dimensions of the Universe.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

Unfortunately, many people think that this matter of awakening consciousness is an easy thing and constantly write to me complaining about not yet coming out of their body astrally, protesting because after some months they still do not have powers, demanding immediately the capacity to live in a lucid and full manner out of the physical body, etc., etc. Usually those who begin our studies are in search of powers, and when they do not transform themselves into omnipotent individuals immediately, then they find the subjective path of spiritism or they affiliate themselves with diverse schools of a subjective psyche with the purpose of instantly obtaining the coveted psychic faculties. Full objectivity implies radical destruction of all that is inhuman that we carry within, annihilation of subconscious atoms, absolute death of the double infrahuman nature, radical pulverization of all the memories of desire.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Clairvoyance

Undoubtedly, the consciousness can only awake through conscious work and voluntary suffering.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening, Conscious Works and Voluntary Sufferings, Suffering, The Great Rebellion

If we want the awakening of the Consciousness, we have to awaken here and now. Whoever awakens here and now, awakens in all comers of the Universe. Here is where we need to wake up. Understood?

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening

So, brothers, he who wants to be master of himself must begin by not allowing the mind and the feelings to get involved in the matters of practical life. But of course, this requires, as I have already said, a tremendous passivity of the personality and a frightening activity of the Consciousness. That is precisely what we need: activity of the Consciousness. When the Consciousness becomes active, it comes out of its lethargy, and then, it is obvious that awakening comes.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in Awakening, Personality

In the internal worlds, chronological time does not exist. In the internal worlds, life is an eternal instant. When we say time, we mean to affirm “states of consciousness”.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Our Gnostic disciples will now understand why the dead do not accept that they are dead. Our Gnostic disciples will now understand why the souls of the living buy and sell, work, etc., during sleep. By coming out in the astral body we get to know the mysteries of life and death. Every human being comes out in the astral body during sleep. By awakening consciousness during normal sleep, we can know the great mysteries of life and death. In order to awaken consciousness during sleep, there is a clue. The clue to awaken consciousness is that of Discernment.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

During sleep, the ego escapes from the physical body. This departure of the ego is necessary so that the vital body can repair the physical body. In the internal worlds we are able to affirm that the ego takes its dreams there, to the internal worlds. In the internal worlds the ego occupies itself with the same things that fascinate it in the physical. Thus, during his sleep we see the carpenter in his carpentry shop, the policeman guarding the streets, the barber in his barbershop, the blacksmith at his forge, the drunkard in the tavern or bar, the prostitute in the house of pleasures, absorbed in lust etc., etc. All these people live in the internal worlds as if they were in the physical world. During sleep it does not occur to any living being to ask whether they are in the physical or astral world. Those who have asked such a question during sleep have awoken in the internal worlds. Then, with amazement, they have been able to study all the marvels of the Superior Worlds. Only by becoming accustomed to asking ourselves this question from moment to moment during the so called vigil state can we manage to ask such a question of ourselves in the superior worlds during the hours given over to sleep. Clearly, while we are asleep we repeat everything that we do during the day. If during the day we accustom ourselves to asking this question, then this, during nocturnal sleep, whilst outside the body will lead to us repeating the same question to ourselves. The result will be the awakening of consciousness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Language of Dreams

We frankly cannot accept clairvoyants who have not awakened consciousness. We cannot accept clairvoyants who have not engendered the Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Will. Clairvoyants who have neither awakened consciousness nor possess their Christic vehicles only see their own beliefs and concepts in the internal worlds. In short they are of no use.

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

Only then does he discover that, which before he dreamed of. Only then does he come to know that which is called Love. This awaken ing is similar to that of the man who, being far from the physical body in the astral body, realises that he has awakened conscious ness. People walk asleep in the astral. When someone realises that he is dreaming and then says, “This is a dream, I am dreaming, I am in the astral body, I am outside my physical body”, the dream disappears as if by magic and then the individual is awake in the astral world. A new and marvellous world appears before he who before was dreaming his consciousness has awakened. Now he can know all the marvels of nature. So also is the awakening of Love. Before that awakening we dream about Love. We take those dreams as reality believe we are loving, live in a world of passions, romances, occasionally delicious, disillusionments, vain oaths, carnal desires, jealousies etc., etc., and believe that this is love. We are dreaming and we ignore it.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, Jealousy, The Keys of Astral Travel

And for the vital vehicle to be able to repair the physical body, it is necessary for the Ego –in which the Essence is bottled up– to abandon the physical body. Then the Ego travels to different places of the world, and of course, as it carries the asleep Consciousness, it dreams, and the dreams are transmitted through the silver cord and so they reach the physical brain. But it is the Ego that comes out of the dense form; that is all. Is there any other question, brothers? You can ask your question.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

If this is done in a conventional way, we say “so-and-so went out in the astral body”. We already know that so-and-so does not yet have the astral body. So, the Ego –within which is the Essence, the Consciousness– went out; he was “awake” for a while and could live outside the physical body, move, travel to different places. What happens is that the Ego serves as the astral body. But it is very far from having the perfection of the astral body. The Ego is the Ego and that is all.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel, The Solar Bodies

When in the physical world we learn to be awake from instant to instant, we shall live awake and conscious from instant to instant in the internal worlds during the hours of sleep of the physical body and also after death, It is painful to know that the consciousness of all human beings sleeps and dreams profoundly not only during those hours of rest of the physical body, but also during that state ironically called the vigil state.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening

With this daily introversion you will awaken your consciousness to such a degree that while your physical body sleeps, you (within your astral body) will act in the same spontaneous and lucid way as when you were within your physical body. During your ecstasies (based on your sincerity and devotion), you will be allowed to visit the nuclei upon which the universe is based (speaking allegorically, these nuclei look like holes) you will then be able to contemplate the Divine Majesty of the Absolute.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Awakening, The Science of Meditation

It is impossible for the aspirant to be awake in the superior worlds if here in the cellular, physical, material world, he is asleep. Whoever wants to awaken consciousness in the internal worlds must awaken here and now in this dense world.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

If the aspirant has not awakened consciousness here in the physical world, there is much less chance that he will awaken in the superior worlds. Whoever awakens consciousness here and now awakens everywhere. Whoever awakens consciousness here in the physical world will definitely remain awake in the superior worlds.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Awakening

The Great Masters are conscious citizens of the suprasensible worlds. The Great Masters work consciously and positively in the superior worlds while their physical bodies are sleeping. It is necessary to awaken consciousness in order to not wander about blindly. The blind can fall to the Abyss. Arcanum 16 is very dangerous.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

We have known others who only sporadically awaken consciousness, from time to time. Those persons are nothing but mere beginners in these matters. What is important is to possess continuous consciousness in the astral plane; that is why we have given exercises and clues in this book.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Awakening

The reality is another thing. Nothing is given us as a gift. Every thing costs. Nothing is attained through curiosity instantaneously, rapidly. Everything has its process and its development. Kundalini develops, evolves and progresses very slowly within the aura of the Mahachoam. Kundalini has the power of awakening consciousness. Nevertheless the process of awakening is slow, gradual, and natural, without spectacular, sensational, emotional, crude events. When consciousness already has awakened totally it is not something sensational, or spectacular. It is simply a reality as natural as a tree that grew slowly, unfolded and developed without sudden leaps or sensational events. Nature is nature. The Gnostic student in the begin-fling says, “I am dreaming. Later he exclaims, “I am in the astral body, outside the physical body”. Later still he obtains Samãdhi, ecstasy, and enters the fields of Paradise. In the beginning the manifestations are sporadic, discontinuous, followed by long periods of unconsciousness. Much later, the Igneous Wings give us continual uninterrupted awakened consciousness.

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

As consciousness continues awakening, the possibilities of direct experience become more lucid and continuous each time.

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

In some people, those flashes of Consciousness begin to be seen in a very insipid way. Such people say, for example, to themselves: “Well, this thing I’m seeing is interesting, it seems as though I am dreaming. Could it be that I’m asleep, could it be that I’m dreaming?” Naturally, such a psychic manifestation is an incipient beginning of awakened Consciousness. But later, as the percentage of Essence or Consciousness is liberated from those bottles which are called “I’s”, the Seminal Pearl develops, and then those people are not satisfied with just saying: “I’m dreaming” or “It seems like this is a dream.” Their Consciousness is even greater and they can exclaim: “I am outside of the physical body, I am in the astral, I am not dreaming!”

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

Later, during a dream, he awakens his consciousness, then he can say, “I am in my Astral Body.” The consciousness awakens little by little. In this way, the moment in which the disciple will acquire continuous consciousness arrives.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Awakening

When the student enjoys continuous consciousness, he no longer dreams; he can no longer dream, because his consciousness is awakened. Then, even when the physical body is sleeping, he moves himself consciously in the superior worlds.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Awakening

Whoever awakens consciousness can no longer dream; here in this physical plane, or in the internal worlds. Whoever awakens consciousness stops dreaming. Whoever awakens consciousness be comes a competent investigator of the superior worlds. Whoever awakens consciousness is illuminated. Whoever awakens conscious ness can study at the feet of the Master. Whoever awakens conscious ness can talk familiarly with the Gods who initiated the dawn of creation. Whoever awakens consciousness can remember his innumerable reincarnations. Whoever awakens consciousness can consciously attend his own cosmic initiations. Whoever awakens consciousness can study in the temples of the Great White Lodge. Who ever awakens consciousness can know in the superior worlds how his Kundalini is developing. Every Perfect Matrimony must awaken the consciousness to receive guidance and direction from the White Lodge. In the superior worlds the Masters will wisely guide all those who really love one another. In the superior worlds the Masters give to each one that which he needs for his internal development.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

The awake person no longer dreams; during the rest of the body, he lives in those regions where people wander dreaming, but with his consciousness awake.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

To dream? No!... It has been long time since I stopped dreaming... Those who awake their consciousness do not dream anymore...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams

Self-Cognizance? This is a different faculty and I have it because I am very well dead... Objective Consciousness? It is obvious that if I would not have it, I could not inform my beloved readers about life in the superior worlds...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Awakening

When the Essence begins to liberate itself, at the beginning, the Seminal Pearl that the Tao speaks to us about is formed. Then, the first flashes of awakened Consciousness begin to emerge. Such flashes, such conscious bursts of light surge in those hours in which the physical body is asleep in bed, that is, while we live in those subtle worlds which the various esotericist writers tell us about. One begins to realize that one is outside the physical body, that one no longer belongs to the physical world, even though one has a physical body. It is obvious that during sleep, all the Egos, the Essence, are outside of the physical body, but people then dream and nothing else; and they dream because they have the Consciousness asleep. When the Consciousness begins to awaken, dreams disappear, and when one is wide awake, one can no longer dream.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971 also in Awakening, The Human Soul, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Language of Dreams

For example: on one occasion, while working in the astral world, a dream slipped out of my mind. Ipso facto I realized that a dream had just slipped out, and before it took shape in those supra-sensitive regions, I eliminated it. So, I did not give it the opportunity to hypnotize or fascinate me, because I live awake in those worlds, and I see those who are asleep when I work in the supra-sensitive regions. Here, there and everywhere there are thousands of persons, people who are asleep, they look like sleepwalkers as they walk; people who have never in their lives worried about the awakening of the Consciousness.

When the consciousness moves on to occupy the place of the subconscious, we acquire that which is called continuous consciousness.

The one who enjoys continuous consciousness lives consciously at every instant, not only in the physical world but also in the superior worlds.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening

The Golden Embryo is the true permanent center of Consciousness; it gives us individuality, it gives us self-consciousness. Whoever possesses the Golden Embryo can enter and leave the physical body at will, can move in all departments of the kingdom at will, can study the mysteries of life and death in the superior worlds, can remember his previous lives, can know the future that awaits him.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971

If one does not eliminate within himself the elements of unhappiness, he will never be happy. How can one be happy if one carries unhappiness inside? If someone wants to be enlightened and enjoy a continuous awakened Consciousness, then that someone has to eliminate the subjective elements of perceptions. What are they? That heterogeneous multiplicity of undesirable elements that we carry inside us. Through them we see, hear, touch and feel; thus, our perceptions are limited, conditioned by those elements. By breaking them completely, a total, complete, unitotal, perfect Enlightenment will appear.

The Fifth Gospel Of the Inner Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Awakening

With a lot of meditation and with supreme mental quietude and silence, Han Shan attained the awakening of the Buddhata, the essence, the consciousness. During the hours of sleep Han Shan ceased to dream and lived completely awake in the superior worlds. Upon returning to his physical body after a period of sleep, he brought to his physical brain all the memories of his experience in the superior worlds, everything that happened to him. He accomplished this with mental stillness and silence.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening, Inner Silence, Memory, The Science of Meditation

We knew two powerful enlightened beings who were totally illiterate. One was a primitive Indian of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (Colombia). The other was the powerful guru Litelantes, a great Master of Cosmic Justice. Those two powerful initiates enjoy the privilege of possessing continuous consciousness. In similar privileged conditions, these two initiates possess teachings that could never be written down, because they would be profaned if they were written down.

Ida rises from the base of the spinal column to the left of Sushumnã, and Pingala to the right. These positions are reversed in the woman. The cords end in the medulla oblongata. All this is symbolised by the Caduceus of Mercury, with its two spread wings. The two wings of the Caduceus of Mercury signify the power to travel in the astral body, the power to travel in the mental body, the power to travel in the causal, conscious and spiritual vehicles. The Fire gives those who follow the Path of the Razor’s Edge the power to leave the physical body at will. Kundalini has the power of awaken ing the consciousness of the human being. Within the Fire we remain completely awakened in the superior worlds. All those who have awakened in the superior worlds, live absolutely consciously outside the physical body during the hours of sleep. Whoever awak ens the consciousness can never again dream. They become in fact, and rightfully, absolutely conscious citizens of the superior worlds. They work with the White Lodge while their physical body sleeps. They are the collaborators of the Great White Universal Fraternity. We clarify; Ida and Pingala are not physical. A physician could not find them with a scalpel. Ida and Pingala are semi-etheric, semi-physical.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Awakening, The Law of Polarities

These founders of religions possessed continuous consciousness; they were great enlightened men. Normally, people are not conscious of themselves. The illusion of being conscious in a continuous way arises from one’s memory and all of one’s thought processes.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening, Memory

All in all, I never lost Consciousness because I had concerns about the awakening of the Consciousness in very old existences, I had already worked in that sense, and that served me to be able to tell where I was before I was born and also to know where I was going to go after death.

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Awakening

But if I had not worked on myself, if I had not obtained the awakening, I would be completely unconscious like all the people. Therefore, to be able to know where one comes from, where one goes and what one is called, he has no choice but to awaken the Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Awakening

Who is a Master of Samadhi? It is someone who enjoys a continuous Consciousness, someone who achieved the stillness and silence of his mind in a perennial way.

The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Awakening, Inner Silence, The Science of Meditation

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 Personality, Return and Reincarnation

That which continues beyond the sepulcher is the ego, the pluralized “I” the myself, a bunch of devils, in which the Essence, the Consciousness is bottled up. The ego, in its due time, returns and reincorporates.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Return and Reincarnation

Death is profoundly significant. By discovering what death is in itself, we will know the secret of life. That which continues beyond the sepulcher can only be known by people with an awakened consciousness. You are asleep and, consequently, you do not know that which is beyond death. There are many theories. Each of us can make our own opinion, but what is important is to directly experience that which pertains to the mysteries beyond the grave. I can assure you that the souls of the defunct live within the ultra of this great nature.

Beyond Death

Death is full of deep meaning. Those who have managed to awaken Consciousness, know what death is, know very well that death is a subtraction of fractions. Once the mathematical operation is finished, the only thing that continues are the values. The Consciousness is bottled up within them.

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

Fine, but there is something that does not go to the cemetery, what could it be? The “I’s”. Within each “I” there is a small percentage of Essence, of Consciousness. These “I’s” wander through the astral world, they seem to be unconscious ghosts, asleep, walking like somnambulists. If one touches them, one feels them cold, because they never awakened the Sacred Fire. They live in the astral world.

The Fifth Gospel The Inner Mind Interview – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Many I’s

The Tibetan Book of the Dead says : You have been unconscious for the last three and a half days. As soon as you recover you will have Consciousness” - what happened? Well, at this moment all Sansara (the phenomenal Universe) is in revolution. Admission to the electronic and Molecular Worlds at the moment of death is a tremendous test for man’s Consciousness. The Tibetan Book of ht e Dead states that at the moment of death all men fall into a faint that lasts three and a half days. Max Heindel, Rudolph Steiner, and many other authors sustain that in these three and a half days the DISINCARNATE EGO sees its whole life pass in the form of images, in retrospective order.

The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in The Retrospective Exercise

At the moment of death and during the three and a half days following death, our Consciousness and inner judgement are liberated by electronic discharge. We then see our whole life pass in a retrospective form. The discharge is so strong that it makes a person fall into a state of coma and incoherent dreams. Only those who possess what is called Soul can resist the electronic discharge without losing Consciousness.

The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in The Retrospective Exercise, The Secret Weapon of the Ego

For unconscious BUDDHATAS (ESSENCES) in the sorrowful vale of Samsara, everything is different; they disembody without being aware of it and automatically reimbody under any sign...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Master: Well, if one disintegrates all those psychic aggregates that personify one’s errors, he awakens the Consciousness, and at the hour of disincarnating, he does it with full Consciousness, given that he awakened it during his lifetime. After death, people are in the supra-sensitive worlds with the Consciousness asleep because, during their lifetime, they never worried about awakening the Consciousness. Any other question?

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Awakening, Fascination

Through this path one arrives at the end: increasing the Consciousness more and more, and as one increases the Consciousness, one “kills” karma, one “kills”. Let us give an example, if someone becomes conscious of the pain that a poorly done business deal caused him, he discovers that the “I” of selfishness was active. So he disintegrates it and “kills” karma; or discovers that the “I” of ambition was active, he “kills” karma upon disintegrating it. And if people took advantage of even the smallest pain in their lives to sacrifice it, at the time of death, they would disincarnate without karma, with a completely lucid, awakened Consciousness, and without karma.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Entropy and Sacrifice, Selfishness, The Law of Karma

When the hour of death arrives, we abandon the physical body and we enter the internal worlds. After death, souls continue believing that they are in the flesh. After death, souls do not accept even the supposition that they no longer belong to the world of the flesh. It is only little by little that the consciousness of the souls of the dead awakens. After a certain time, the souls enter a new maternal womb in order to have the right to be reborn into the world of the flesh. This is the Law of Return. We all came to pay for the evil actions of our past lives. If we do good, we receive good. If we do evil, we receive evil. With the same rod that you measure, you shall be measured. He who sows winds, shall reap whirlwinds. Do good deeds in order for you to pay your debts.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Causality, The Law of Karma

At the hour of death, the Ego takes along its dreams, its worldliness and lives in the world of the dead with its dreams; it continues dreaming, with the Consciousness asleep, it ambulates like a somnambulist, asleep, unconscious.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Fascination, Identification

These hopes are quite varied, depending on the qualities of the dead person. The greatest hope of a miser, even after death, is to obtain more riches, since his consciousness is asleep. The greatest hope of a man in love, therefore, will be to obtain women that adore him, that love him, that idolize him. The greatest hope of a profoundly religious man will be to enter into the ineffable regions of the light, etc., etc., etc.

Beyond Death also in Greed

Authorities exist in all corners of the universe, as much for the living as for the dead. For example, the authorities of the lost souls that live in the abyss will be the demons themselves; the authorities of the ineffable ones will be those who are above them on the hierarchical ladder. But, since people have the consciousness asleep, it is obvious that they continue respecting the authorities that exist in the physical world.

Beyond Death

The defunct continue believing that they are alive because they have the consciousness asleep, and it takes a lot of work to make them believe that they no longer belong to the world of the living. Since they see all things absolutely the same way as they saw them in life, it is clear that they do not suspect that they have died.

Beyond Death

The souls of the dead live in astral light. Astral light is the light of all enchantments and magic spells. Astral light is related to all the air; we eat it, we breathe it, but we can see it only with the eyes of the soul. Souls see themselves wearing the same clothes which they were wearing in life. Little by little, the consciousness of those souls awakens and they begin to realize that they are no longer belong to this material world of flesh and bones.

The Mysteries of Life and Death

I remember the pathetic case of a poor carrier of heavy bundles; after his death, his ego went around carrying a load, package or bundle on his back. When I tried to make him comprehend his situation, when I tried to make him understand that he was already very dead and that he had no reason to go around carrying heavy bundles on his body, he looked at me with the eyes of a somnambulist; his consciousness was asleep, he was incapable of comprehending me.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Fascination, Identification

With the practice, the experience or the living of any of the works that I have delivered to humanity, the practitioner would achieve, it is obvious, psychological emancipation. There exist people that speak marvels about reincarnation, Atlantis, alchemy, the ego, astral unfoldment and before the external world they are experts on these matters, but this is only being intellectually informed. Deep down, these persons do not know anything and at the hour of death, these expositors remain with nothing but knowledge stored in their memory, that in the beyond does not serve any purpose because they continue with their consciousness asleep.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Memory

He also looked at me with the eyes of a sleepwalker; he understood not even one iota of what I was saying to him. I decided to float around him and over his head, to see if in that way maybe he would understand, but everything was useless: he understood nothing. He was asleep. The poor wretch had done nothing in life to awaken his Consciousness, and he continued to be asleep, with an asleep Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

But I did see that sleepwalker’s state of his eyes, that is how the deceased are: after death they walk around like that, like sleepwalkers, because it never occurred to them during their lifetime to work on themselves, so they never awakened the Consciousness. They were always one hundred percent mechanical creatures, and after death they continue to be sleepwalkers, they are sleepwalkers, unconscious. That is very sad.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Fascination

But if he did not do any work on himself, if he was never interested in this kind of studies, obviously, he is a sleeping person. Upon returning, upon coming back, upon reincorporating he will come with the Consciousness asleep and he will continue to be what he is: a little machine, and that is all.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Fascination, Return and Reincarnation

We must situate ourselves in the plane of the harshest realities. In no way have I come here with the purpose of being pessimistic, nor do I intend to fill your hearts with pessimism. I only wanted to put on the terrain of realities the psychological state in which each and every one of us finds himself. As long as we have not eliminated from our interior all those “I”-defects that we carry, our Consciousness will be profoundly asleep: we will die without knowing when; we will be born without knowing how or why; we will continue in the beyond as sleepwalkers, as ghosts. That is what our life has been like; thus it has been and thus it will be as long as we do not eliminate the “I”-defects from within ourselves.

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

The astral ghost that mortals possess is nothing more than an out line of a man. It does not even have unity. This ghostly facade is a den of demons and of all kinds of filthy and abhorrent entities. Within this astral ghost lives the “I” (the Devil). This is an infernal legion. The “I” is Legion. Just as the body is composed of many atoms, so also the “I” is composed of millions of “I’s.” Diabolic intelligences, repugnant demons who quarrel amongst themselves. When a per son dies he becomes just that: Legion. The person himself becomes dust. Only “that” remains alive; the legion of “I’s”. Clairvoyants usually meet the disincarnated dressed differently and appearing simultaneously in different places. The person seems to have become many people is legion. Nevertheless, when we have given birth within us to the Christic astral body, we continue after death living in that sidereal body. Then we are really immortal. Those people who possess the Christic astral body find after death that they have the consciousness awake. Ordinary disincarnated people live after death with the consciousness asleep. Death is really a return to fetal conception. Death is the return to the seed. Everyone who dies returns to a new maternal womb totally unconscious, asleep.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Fascination, Return and Reincarnation, The Many I’s, The Solar Bodies

After the death of the physical body of a true human being (one who has the soul and Spirit incarnated), he lives completely awakened in his astral body; he enjoys the internal worlds of consciousness; he enjoys objective perception.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

On the other hand, those who still have not dissolved the “I” and who have neither incarnated the soul nor the Spirit, live within the internal worlds with their consciousness asleep; they only have a subjective consciousness and subjective perception.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Awakening, Fascination, Identification, The Human Soul

Only by making soul do we establish a permanent principle of consciousness within ourselves. He who has Soul lives consciously after death. The Soul may be created with the accumulation of the finest energies the organism produces and the crystallisation through supreme efforts, to make one self conscious in a total and definitive way.

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

The intellectual animal falsely named man dies unconsciously and is born unconsciously, and goes blindly from the cradle to the grave, without knowing where he comes from or where he is going. In making Soul we awaken Consciousness and only then become aware of the mysteries of life and death. Any man with Soul can negotiate with the Angels of Death, and disincarnate himself at will, in accordance with his needs. This means having the power to lengthen his life if he considers it necessary in order to realise or complete some task in the physical world.

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

The ordinary disincarnate project their own desires and aspirations into the molecular atmosphere, and dream of them, living in perfect happiness. Adepts do not dream because they have awakened Consciousness and live in this region dedicated to work, in accordance with the great Cosmic Laws, in the laboratory of Nature.

The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in Awakening, Desire and Will

“Well, H., we are going to give them to you.” He said goodbye being very happy. During his lifetime, this man had eliminated those defects of conceit, of vanity, of pride, of self-love, of anger, of selfishness. That is, this man had managed to establish in the depths of his Consciousness a conscious center of gravity, that is why he was now awake in astral, completely awake.

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

At first, upon reviewing him, upon observing him psychologically, we realized that he was always in the house where he died, but he has been revisiting his life in a retrospective way. We recently saw him revisiting his life at the age of fifty something, when he was living in a house outside of Mexico; we saw him in a dark room, from there he came out reliving his life. He is not an unconscious brother, no; he enjoys thirty or forty percent of Consciousness, he realizes that something happened because in life he worked on the “I”. And as a sequence or corollary, he is conscious that he did disincarnate, that he is dead.

The Fifth Gospel The Inner Mind Interview – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Retrospective Exercise

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

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Clairvoyance, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Words He Uses

Objective knowledge cannot be acquired without objective consciousness.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

Students must first reach self-consciousness and then objective consciousness.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

The first type of Enlightenment is Awakened Consciousness, Self-Cognizance.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

The second type of Enlightenment (even when in the Fourth Way) is called Objective Knowledge, Objective Consciousness indeed, it transcends that which is called Consciousness.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

Therefore, the second type of Enlightenment has nothing to do with the consciousness, it is the Being, and the reason for the Being to be, is to be the same Being.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Being Is the Being

The Golden Embryo entrusts us with Self-Consciousness and Objective Transcendental Knowledge.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The one who truly awakens attains, as an outcome, full objectivity of his or her consciousness, authentic enlightenment happiness.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Awakening

It is impossible to awaken the consciousness, making it totally objective, without previously eliminating the subjective elements of perception. Such sub-human elements are formed by the whole multiplicity of brawling, loud-mouthed Egos that in conjunction constitute the "EGO", the "MYSELF".

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Many I’s

Obviously, on awakening consciousness, these 49 states become conscious and only then, would we have conscious and integral objectivity.

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

We need to transform the subconscious into conscious and this is only possible by disintegrating the psychic aggregates that make up the ego, the myself, the very self. Let us remember that consciousness is bottled up in such aggregates. Disintegrating the latter, the consciousness becomes awakened.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence, The Subconscious

Obviously such tapes, in the manner of living movies, certainly correspond to all the scenes of desire, to all the lustful actions of this life and all our previous lives and if they are not radically disintegrated, then 100% of objective consciousness cannot be achieved, because within them is trapped part of our consciousness.

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

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

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

We want objective realities, not absurd and incoherent dreams. I could not accept dreams, I want objective realities, and I wish the very same for all of you. Such objective realities are possible when the Consciousness has truly been objectivized. But it is not possible to objectivize the Consciousness if beforehand one has not really passed through the Buddhist Annihilation –a terrible word that horrifies some schools–.

The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Psychological Death

If we want to reach authentic enlightenment, it is necessary and urgent to transform the sub-conscious into conscious. Undoubtedly, such a transformation is only possible by annihilating the subconscious. But the subconscious is the Ego; then we must annihilate the Ego, the “I”, the Myself, the Oneself. This is how the subconscious is transformed into conscious so that the objective, real and true Consciousness remains in its place. In other words, I want to say that, as long as there is any subjective element within ourselves, however insignificant it may be, the possibility of dreaming continues. But when every subjective, subconscious element ends, when there is no longer any aggregate or subconscious element left in our psyche, then the result is objective Consciousness, authentic, true Enlightenment.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams, The Subconscious

It is one thing to walk in the hypersensitive worlds with the objective Consciousness, that is, awake, and another thing to walk there, in those regions, in a subjective, subconscious state, projecting dreams. You see what a great difference there is between the one who wanders through those regions projecting dreams and the one who lives there without making projections, with fully awake, enlightened Consciousness, in a state of super-exalted vigilance. Obviously, the latter is truly an Enlightened One and he can, if he so wishes, investigate the mysteries of life and death, know all the enigmas of the Universe.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams

Undoubtedly, it is not so easy to eliminate subjective elements –there are a lot of them–. This elimination is processed in a didactic way, little by little, and as one eliminates such “elements”, the Consciousness becomes objectified, and when the elimination is absolute, the Consciousness is totally objectified, awakened. Then the possibility of dreaming is terminated, it is over.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams

The great Adepts of the Universal White Fraternity do not dream, they possess objective Consciousness. The possibility of dreaming for them has disappeared and one finds them in the superior worlds in an intensified vigil state, directing the current of countless centuries, governing the laws of nature, converted into Gods who are beyond good and evil.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams

It is therefore indispensable to understand this thoroughly, and for everyone to be able to draw an exact summary, I would like to say the following: the subconscious is the very Ego; while annihilating the Ego, the Consciousness awakens. The subconscious elements are infra-human and each one of us carries them within. Destroy yourself and all possibility of dreaming will end. Dreams are projections of the Ego and, therefore, they are not useful.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in Awakening, The Language of Dreams, The Subconscious

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

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Mind

As the Consciousness awakens more and more, as it becomes more and more objective, as it develops and grows in each one of us, its vehicle, which is the inner mind, develops also in the same way, and the functionalisms of objective reason obviously develop.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Mind

When one has awakened Consciousness and has truly opened the objective reason, and the objective reason or inner mind can serve as an instrument to the Consciousness, then, the Enlightenment of the Being is absolute and it surpasses all the chakras, it goes beyond the chakras, one enters the terrain of the Superman, of the Buddha, of the Enlightened Buddha.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, The Mind

This is the superlative consciousness of the Being, is the principle of Jus tice, the Law. When conscience is spoken of, it is Buddhi, the Elohim, who says: “Fight for me in the name of TE-TRA-GRAM-MA-TON”.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Neshamah –that is, Atman-Buddhi– is the Monad mentioned by Leibniz and his monadic philosophy. Atman is the Intimate; Buddhi is the Spiritual Soul, the Superlative Consciousness of the Being; the two, integrated, constitute the Monad; this is obvious.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977 also in The Being Is the Being, The Human Soul

What do the deceased gentlemen have to do with all this? Nothing, right? When it is said that we have to transform impressions, I mean that we have to use an instrument. Which one? The Consciousness. But the Consciousness, whose is it, what is it made up of, why does it exist? The Consciousness belongs to the Being, and when one does not forget one’s own Being, obviously, the Consciousness is working.

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Being Is the Being, The Remembrance of Oneself, The Transformation of Impressions

Master: Well, certainly, it is not the brain that transforms impressions. The brain does not have the power to transform impressions, it leaves them untransformed, and that is why they become “I’s”, psychic aggregates. Only the Superlative Consciousness of the Being can transform impressions. But for the Consciousness to work, it is necessary not to forget ourselves, our own Being. What was our brother here going to ask me?

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975 also in Fascination, Identification, The Remembrance of Oneself, The Transformation of Impressions

Do not forget that between the Consciousness and the Being, there is not much distance, understand? As there are three aspects of life: the Being –Sat, in Sanskrit–, the Consciousness –Chit– and happiness –Ananda–. But the real Consciousness of the Being –which is not very far from the Being himself– is bottled among all that multiplicity of psychic aggregates that personify our errors and that we carry inside us.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977 also in Awakening, The Being Is the Being

Only the Consciousness can give us a correct feeling, but that feeling would be harsh for others, because the others are bottled up in false sentimentalisms that have nothing to do with the true feeling of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977

The feeling of the real, objective Consciousness is what matters, is what is important. But for us to be able to have that true feeling of the real and objective Consciousness, we need, first of all, to disintegrate the psychic aggregates.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977

As we disintegrate the various aggregates – living personification of our defects–, the voice of Consciousness will become stronger and stronger; the feeling of the Being, that is, of the Consciousness, will be felt more and more intensely; and as we will be feeling with the Consciousness, we will realize that the false feeling of the “I” leads us to error.

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

To get to truly feel, to get to have the precise feeling, is something tremendous. This precise feeling is that of the superlative Consciousness of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel Of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977

In any case, the objective of this talk today has been to draw your attention to the false feeling of the “I”. You will have to learn to feel the Consciousness, to have a correct feeling of the Superlative Consciousness of the Being. That Superlative Consciousness originally emanates or comes from Atman, the Ineffable, that is, from the Intimate, from the Being.

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

As long as the superlative consciousness of the Being continues to be bottled in the myself, in my own concepts and subjective theories, it is absolutely impossible to directly know the harsh reality of natural phenomena in ourselves. The key to nature's laboratory is held in the right hand of the Angel of Death.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in Awakening, The Great Rebellion

Undoubtedly, the Inner Mind elaborates its concepts-of-contents with the data supplied by the superlative consciousness of the Being.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Mind

Unquestionably, in no way would it be possible to directly recognize the mysteries of life and death as long as the inner mind has not opened within ourselves. It is not excessive to repeat in this chapter that only the superlative consciousness of the Being can know the truth.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Being Is the Being, The Great Rebellion, The Mind

The inner mind can only function with the data which the Cosmic consciousness of the BEING supplies.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Being Is the Being

Although the “I’s” are multiple, even though they are not in any conformity, even if they do not have order of any kind, the profound inner Being –to be clearer, our Divine Cosmic Mother– is establishing an order to the work. I say this based on practicing it. I had to work very hard, first of all with the infra– human “I’s” of the natural infra-dimensions; then, with those “I’s” of the astral world; later, with the “I’s” of the mind, and later, with the causal “I’s”; and, finally, with the “I’s” of the actual Consciousness of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Many I’s, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The last one may seem strange to you. I want you to know that before the causes– the erroneous causes– that originate “I’s” appear, some atoms of the Consciousness of the Being were altered, and those altered atoms become tempting “I’s”. We must annihilate them so that the sovereign Consciousness is free.

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

And as the different psychic aggregates disintegrate, the Essence, the Buddhata, is liberated; and when all the aggregates have been reduced to cosmic dust, the egoic consciousness disappears and only the clean Consciousness of the Being, the original pristine Consciousness, remains.

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Essence

The Buddhi, that is to say the spiritual soul of every human being, is a spark of the soul of the world, the intracosmic soul. Our individual consciousness should keep awakening in ever more elevated planes of Cosmic Consiousness until at last awakening in the Absolute Consiousness; this is in order to make itself independent of the Great Soul and be born in the Absolute as a Paramartha-satya. The Absolute is the Great Reality. It is Life free in its movement.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

Indeed, the Cosmic Consciousness is the primary intelligence that establishes the union of the spermatozoon with the ovum. We cannot accept an intelligent phenomenon without an intelligent cause. Facts are facts and before the facts we must surrender.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The Cosmic Consciousness reflects itself in the whole panorama of the universe.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

We know that Cosmic Consciousness exerts upon force and that the latter acts upon matter.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

That soul is the Cosmic Consciousness. Only one soul exists; this is the Cosmic Consciousness. That is the Anima Mundi of Plato. The Great Consciousness is co-essential with Abstract Absolute Space.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in The Human Soul

The human biped, or better if we say that homunculi who is mistakenly called human, is incapable of elaborating a single concept, unless that concept is related with completely empirical phenomena. Therefore, due to his strictly intellectual and animal constitution, he is unable to lift even the tip of the veil that covers the majesty of the Abstract Absolute Space. The Cosmic Consciousness, the Great Alaya of the Universe must awaken within each human being.

So, we need to know how our organism can capture the superior forces of nature and the cosmos. For that, it is good to keep in mind that the Cosmic Consciousness is in everything that is, in everything that has been and in everything that will be.

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

F + W = C. Fire plus water equals consciousness. The fire and the water produce the awakening of the cosmic consciousness. Thus, this is how we prophesy for a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth and doing much fasting and penance.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The two Witnesses of the Apocalypse of St. John grant the power to prophesy, because they produce the awakening of consciousness. Through the right ganglionic cord rises the Solar Fire; through the left rises the Lunar Water. File plus water is equal to Consciousness. Plegethon’s Fire and Acheron’s Water intertwine in the Ninth Sphere (Sex), forming the sign of the infinite. This sign is the Holy Eight. If one carefully observes the Caduceus of Mercury, two entwined Serpents, which form the Holy Eight, can be perceived.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Sexual Magic gives the devotee all the igneous elements necessary for the birth of cosmic consciousness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

For cosmic consciousness to appear, a certain degree of culture is required: the education of elements in affinity with cosmic conscious ness and the elimination of elements opposing cosmic conscious ness.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The most characteristic features of those individuals prepared to receive cosmic consciousness is that they look at the world as Maya (illusion). They have the feeling that the world as people see it, is only an illusion and they search for the Great Reality, the Spiritual, the Truth, that which is beyond illusion. For the birth of cosmic consciousness it is necessary for man to surrender himself completely to the Spiritual, to the Internal. Sexual Magic offers the Initiate all the possibilities required to obtain Brahmãnic splendour and the birth of cosmic consciousness. It is urgent that Sexual Magic be combined with internal meditation and sanctity. In this way we prepare ourselves to receive Brahmãnic splendour.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

In reality, Angels are the Perfect Men. Whoever reaches the perfect state of man, becomes an Angel. Those who claim that the Angel is inferior to man, are falsifying the truth. No one can achieve the Angelic state if he has not previously reached the state of Perfect Man. No one can achieve the state of Perfect Man if he has not previously incarnated his Soul. That is a sexual problem. Only in true Men is the Angel born. Only in the true Men is cosmic consciousness born.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The BUDDHI is our superlative consciousness. The Buddhic body is our Spiritual Soul. He who achieves the awaking of the Cosmic consciousness becomes an ineffable God. The Cosmic consciousness awakes with CHASTITY, with pain, with music, and with Meditation.

Christ Consciousness, 1952 also in Awakening, The Human Soul

Perseus descends to the fiery forge of Vulcan in order to decapitate the Adam of Sin (Medusa) with his flaming sword. John the Baptist is decapitated and Christ crucified in order to save the world. The slaughtering of the innocent children (Initiates) is the repetition of Initiation. The solar consciousness is then born in us. The solar consciousness contains in itself the knower, the knowledge, and the thing known—three in one, one in three. The solar consciousness is omnipresent, omnipenetrating. The solar consciousness liberates man from the fatal wheel of the centuries.
