The Language of Dreams

“Sleep and Memory” are the powers, which permit us to know the great mysteries of life and death.

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

Dreams are “Astral Experiences”.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Dreams are real.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Everything which the human multitudes perceive, imagine or dream, have a real existence within the ordinary space called MAHAKASHA or Elemental Space.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Do you really not know what unfoldment is? I understand very well, miss, that your question is sincere. Unfoldment is extremely plain and simple, it is a natural phenomenon like eating, drinking, etc., etc., etc. It is clear that when the physical body is sleeping, the soul departs from it and travels everywhere. The soul, upon returning, upon placing itself once again within its body, often remembers the places where it was, the people with whom it spoke, etc., and this is what you denominate dreams. This is really unfoldment.

Beyond Death also in The Keys of Astral Travel

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

When the soul enters the body, we then wake up from natural sleep. In the internal worlds, the souls occupy themselves in the same daily chores. They then buy and sell as in the physical world. The souls of the living and the dead live together during sleep. In the internal worlds, we see everything as in the physical world. The same sun, the same clouds, the same houses of the city; everything is the same.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

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, Identification

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

During the hours of rest of the physical body, the Ego (I) exits the physical body and takes along its dreams wherever it goes. When it returns to the physical body, when it once again enters the Vigil state, it continues with its same dreams and in this manner, it spends its entire life dreaming.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Awakening

Answer: My friends, if we observe the life of normal, run-of-the-mill dreams we can see the concrete fact that many scenes of the dream correspond to the happenings of daily life, to the deeds that we have lived here and now in the physical world, to the actions of each moment.

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

As a direct consequence of this that we are affirming we can emphasize the fact that the exercise of the division of attention in three parts is also repeated, as in the case of dreams, in those hours when the essence imprisoned within the ego is found outside of the physical body.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

If a man starts taking into account more consciously, the small cycle of recurring events of his personal life, he will be able to verify directly, throughout mystical experience, that, in daily sleep, the same mathematical operation of death is always repeated.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Law of Recurrence

In the absence of the physical body, during normal sleep, the “values” merge into the astral light, attract or repel each other in accordance with the Law of Universal Magnetization.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The return to the vigil state rightfully implies the return of the “values” to the interior of the physical body.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Extraordinarily, people think that they only interrelate with the external world. Gnosis teaches us that we interrelate with an inner world, which is invisible to the physical, ordinary senses, but visible to clairvoyance.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Clairvoyance

This inner, invisible world is much wider, and it contains many more interesting things than the external world, to where the five windows of the senses are always opened. Many dreams relate to the place where we are, in the inner, invisible world from which the diverse circumstances of life come forth.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In the hours of rest, when the physical body is sleeping in the bed, the “Ego” travels outside the physical body. The “Ego” often travels to very distant places outside the physical body. The “Ego” is living a dream. Really the “Ego” brings its dreams to the suprasensible worlds. In the internal worlds carpenters are in their workshops dreaming about all that which they do in the physical world; the blacksmith in his foundry; the policeman keeping watch over the streets; the tailor in his tailor’s shop; the drunkard in the bar, etc.,—they are all dreaming. They all bring their dreams to the suprasensible worlds.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Awakening

After death the same thing is repeated. The “Ego” continues to dream. Truly, the “Ego” is led by its dreams during normal sleep and after death.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Master: Well, during the hours of sleep, the Ego cannot be within the body, because if the Ego remained within the physical body during the hours of sleep, then the vital body –or Linga Sharira– could not repair the physical body. Normally, the Linga Sharira, the vital body, repairs the body itself during the hours when the Ego is absent. In those hours, the thyroid gland secretes many biological iodines that disinfect the organism. The solar plexus also works intensively and the hepatic plexus –wonderfully– captures, in such instants of sleep, the solar energy and then distributes it through all the channels of the great sympathetic nervous system, and the repair of the physical body is done. That is, when the Ego returns to the body again, this body is already completely repaired and ready for new activities of the day. Therefore, what is lived in dreams happens outside the physical body.

The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City also in 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 Mexico City – 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Gnosis teaches that the modern, decadent psychology of the Western Hemisphere is ignorant of the various kinds of dreams that exist.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Dreams have a diverse and specific quality, for they are closely related to each of the psychic centres of the human body.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In fact, we do not exaggerate when we state tha t most dreams are linked to the motorinstinctive centre. That is, they are the echoes of everything we see during the day: simple sensations and motions — a mere astral repetition of our daily life.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Some experiences of an emotional type such as fear — which harms humanity so much — usually fit in those chaotic dreams of the motor-instinctive centres as well There are then, emotional, sexual intellectual, motor and instinctive dreams The more important dreams, the inner experiences of the Being, are associated with the two centres the Superior Emotional and the Superior Intellectual Dreams related to the two superior centres are certainly interesting. Their main feature is what we could call a dramatic array.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Now then, if we think of the Ray of Creation, and the Superior and Inferior centres, and the influences descending throughout the cited cosmic ray, we must admit that some luminous vibrations appear. These intend to heal us, to inform us about the state in which we are, and more.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

It becomes useful to receive messages, and to be in contact with the Aztec, Mayan, Toltec, Egyptian, and Greek adepts.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

It is marvelous, as well, to have intimate dialogue with the highest, diverse parts of our Being.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Twelve Powers Are Within Us

The superior centres are fully developed in us, and they send us messages, which we must learn to consciously grasp.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In this chapter, those select people who have had a moment of self remembrance (in which they saw a common thing or person in a totally different way) will not be surprised, if I tell them that such moments have the same quality as one of those rare and strange dreams related to the two Superior Emotional and Intellectual centres.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The meaning of such transcendental dreams matches — undoubtedly — the same level of the realization in oneself, of the Ray of Creation, and, in particular, the lateral Octave of the Sun [sic] The beginning of our realization of the deep significance of this specific type of dream is the signal that some forces struggle to awaken, heal or cure us.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The angel of the Lord will then reveal in ones dreams the day and hour in which the couple may perform the sacred act of fecundation.

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952

In dreams our souls speak with distant beings, speak with other souls, and can converse with the angels.

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952

The reader, who has closely followed the entire course of our investigations, will comprehend that Spiritualism, with its mediums or Necromancy, with its laboratories, would not have served us to carry out these transcendental Invocations of High Theurgy. Unfortunately, there are many students who would like to see, hear, touch and feel these things but their complementary faculties are damaged. Many are the people who would like to consciously “leave” in the astral body, and suffer the unutterable because they do not achieve it. The clue, which we gave in our First Chapter, with the Mantram “FARAON”, is formidable. The important thing is to never give up: to persevere, not to become tired, until one succeeds. During the normal hours of sleep, every human body is outside the physical body. The Inner being intervenes in the internal worlds, to make us comprehend integrally all the processes of daily life, for example: business that we carried out during the day, words that we uttered, emotions we experienced, etc. Unfortunately, we live in an unconscious manner daily. We do not comprehend the triple reach (physical, psychic and spiritual), of each of our actions, of each of our words, of each one of our daily sentiments. Then the Inner Being intervenes during sleep to make us see in a symbolic form, the triple reach of all the events that we realize during our daily lives. Therefore, human souls move, during sleep, in that symbolism. Those symbols are the so-called DREAMS. If we lived completely conscious of each action of our daily lives, if we comprehended the triple reach of each act of our daily lives, if before going to sleep we were to do a retrospective exercise to make total and absolute “conscious conscience”, of a determined defect, then that defect disintegrates. We remain free of it! The important thing is, therefore, that the dreamer awakens in the Internal Worlds during nor mal sleep, during nocturnal sleep, without “mediumisms”, without “hypnotisms”, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959 also in Awakening, Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Retrospective Exercise, The Science of Meditation

All she told me was that on that night, and at the hour cited by me, she was asleep and dreaming that she was in a place on the coast, and was talking with me within a room similar to a living room.

Beyond Death

Very ancient Scriptures of Tibetan Tantrism speak about a universal secret Order from the Astral world, which can initiate any aspirant during the normal, common and current dream state, while out of the physical body.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in The Keys of Astral Travel

The subconscious mind creates fantastic dreams in the realm of dream. The quality of dreams depends on the beliefs of the dreamer. When someone believes we are good, he dreams about us, seeing us as angels. When someone believes we are bad, he dreams about us, seeing us in the form of a devil.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Many things come to mind whilst writing these lines. In the past when we, the Brothers, worked in various countries, we were able to observe that whilst our Gnostic disciples believed in us they dreamed, seeing us as angels. It was sufficient for them to stop believing, in us for them to then dream about us as demons. Those who swore before the altar to follow and obey us, admired us with great enthusiasm and dreamed seeing us as angels. Many times it was enough that these students read some book or listened to some lecturer, for them to become affiliated with a new school. Then, having stopped believing in us, having changed their concept and opinions, they dreamed about us seeing us changed into devils. What was the clairvoyance of these people? What became of their clairvoyant dreams? What type of clairvoyant is it that today sees us as Gods, and tomorrow affirms that we are devils? Where is the clairvoyance of these dreamers? Why do these people contradict themselves? Why do they swear today that we are Gods and tomorrow swear that we are devils? What is this?

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

The subconscious is a screen upon which many internal films are projected.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The present day subconscious sometimes acts as a cameraman, other times as a director, and also as a projectionist who projects images onto the mental background.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is clear that the subconscious projector usually commits many errors. No one Ignore that erroneous thoughts emerge on the screen of the mind, groundless suspicions and also false dreams.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

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

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

In the molecular region, the Ego projects dreams and lives in them; no logic, continuity, causes, or effects whatsoever exist in its dreams; all psychic functions work without direction whatsoever and subjective images, incoherent, vague, imprecise scenes, etc., appear and disappear.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In the first case, the mind projects what it has subconsciously elaborated and, identified with such projections, falls into fascination and in the dreams characteristic of unconsciousness.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification, The Keys of Astral Travel

In the second case, the mind has exhausted the process of thinking; it does not project, it is open to the new, it receives without identification and in absence of all fascination and of every dreamlike process.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Mind

The dead person presented himself attired in a certain gray suit that he wore in life; he came laughing alone, he seemed truly somnambulist, he conversed nonsense, something that he had heard someone say... Useless were my efforts to make him recognize me; the wretched person slept profoundly; certainly he did not see me; in essence, he really perceived exclusively his own mental forms and laughed like a lunatic, like an idiot. Here we have two aspects that come to clarify then, the matter in question. That dead person projected his own mental forms, he dreamed them, he was absolutely fascinated with them and did not even perceive me.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification, The Keys of Astral Travel

Dreams belong to the unconscious. When one awakens consciousness, he leaves behind dreams. Dreams are nothing but projections of the mind. I remember a certain case that I lived in the superior worlds. It was only an instant of carelessness. I saw how a dream came out of my mind. I was about to start dreaming and I reacted in the dream that had escaped me for one second; but since I became aware of the process, I quickly walked away from that petrified form that escaped from my own mind. Suppose I had been asleep? I would have stayed there, beautifully entangled in that mental form. When one awakens, one immediately knows that in a moment of inattention, a dream can escape and one remains entangled all night until daylight.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Awakening

The dreams that the Ego has outside the physical body, in the internal worlds, in the supra-sensitive regions of Nature and the cosmos, are simply projections of the mind, because, after all, the Ego is the mind. It takes everything and projects its dreams, it lives in dreams. However, there are things that are not dreams. You may perceive, for example, revelations of the great Masters or receive some special enlightenment, but only on rare occasions. Normally, people live in a world of dreams, projecting their dreams and dreaming, unfortunately.

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

Infraconscious clairvoyance is commonly qualified and known by the name of nightmares. The dream’s inebriation is in the hypnotic crepuscular state.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

Those nightmares and evil dreams are phenomena of infraconscious clairvoyance that can originate false conclusions, resulting in crime.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

An occultist student of a neurasthenic type was dreaming of a citizen. He was seeing with his infraconscious clairvoyance that such a citizen was tormenting him with witchcraft and black magic. A few days later, the neurasthenic insulted and threatened to death the perplexed and astonished citizen. This type of infraconscious vision with premeditation, calumny and perfidy is very common in some occultist and spiritualist students, etc.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

As the infraconsciousness exists within the human being, likewise it exists within Nature. The tenebrous memories of the whole history of the Earth and of its root races are deposited within the infraconsciousness of Nature. The antediluvian monsters live within the infraconsciousness of Nature. These are the spectres of the past, the nightmare phantoms.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Answer: It is with great pleasure that I will answer this interesting question from the audience. Ladies and gentlemen I want you to comprehend what, nightmares really are. Occult anatomy teaches that there are seven infernal doors, seven inhuman chakras or negative vortices of sinister forces In the lower abdomen.

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

It could be the case that someone that has an indigestion because of a heavy meal may activate said infernal chakras through this disorder; then those abysmal doors open, as is clearly taught by the religion of Mohammed, and the individual penetrates the infernal worlds that night.

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

This is possible by means of the unfoldment of the personality; it is not difficult for the Ego to penetrate the dwelling of Pluto.

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

The monsters in nightmares really exist, they are originally derived from archaic times; they normally inhabit the infradimensions of the submerged mineral world.

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

Answer: It is patent, clear and manifest that the living also penetrate the infernal worlds as is being demonstrated by nightmares; ostensibly, the human infraconscious is infernal in nature; it could be said with total meridian clarity that all the abysmal horrors are in the atomic infernos of man. Using other words, we emphasize the following: the infernal abysses are in no way divorced from our own subconscious an infraconscious. Now the audience will comprehend why it is so easy to penetrate the nine Dantestic circles at any time.

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

Question: Master, I ha ve had nightmares in which I have seen a world of darkness and many monsters. Could it be that I have entered those infradimensional or infernal worlds? Answer: Your question is important. it is necessary for the audience to comprehend that those infradimensions are in the submerged depth of our nature. Obviously, I repeat, the seven doors of the atomic infernos of the lower abdomen open by means of nightmares and we then descend to the submerged worlds.

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

Answer: My dear gentleman, it is obvious that direct experimentation in the field of metaphysics, is only attainable to individuals who have developed the latent faculties in man. However, I want to tell you with total clarity, that every person can superficially experience the crude realism of said atomic infernos when one has those disgusting nightmares.

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

Indubitably, I do not mean to say by this, that the aforementioned nightmares permit the complete verification of the crude realism of the infradimensions of nature.

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

The language of dreams is accurately comparable to the language of parables.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Those who interpret everything literally, think that the sower of the Christic Gospel went to sow, and that the seeds fell on rocks, and so on, but they do not understand the sense of the parable, because it belongs to the symbolic language of the Superior Emotional centre.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Whosoever awakens consciousness has reached Imaginative Knowledge. This one moves in the world of symbolic images.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The symbols that the student saw while he was dreaming he now sees without dreaming, as before he was seeing them with a sleeping consciousness. Now he moves himself among them with an awakened consciousness even when his physical body is profoundly asleep.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Awakening

When the student reaches Imaginative Knowledge, he sees the symbols but he does not understand them. He comprehends that all of nature is a living scripture that he does not know. The student needs to elevate himself into Inspired Knowledge in order to interpret the sacred symbols of Great Nature.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The world of Imaginative Knowledge is a world of symbolic images.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Inspiration grants us the power of interpreting symbols.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Inspired Knowledge confers upon us the power of interpreting the symbols of nature and the confused language of the ego.

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

Inspired Knowledge grants us the power of interpreting the symbols of Great Nature. The interpretation of symbols is very delicate. Many clairvoyants have become homicidal or have fallen into the crime of public slander because of not knowing how to interpret symbols.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

When the “I” interferes by translating and interpreting symbols, then it alters the meaning of this secret scripture, and the clairvoyant falls into a crime that can conduct him to jail.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

Nonetheless, self-criticism must be multiplied, because when the “I” of the clairvoyant believes he knows a lot, then he feels himself infallible, omniscient, wise and even supposes that he sees and interprets with the absence of the “I.” These types of clairvoyants fortify the “I” so much that they end up converting themselves into terribly perverse demons. When a clairvoyant of this type sees his inner God, he interprets the vision in accordance with his tenebrous criteria and exclaims, “I am doing well.”

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

Due to Resistance, dreams become difficult to interpret and the knowledge that one wants to have of oneself becomes clouded.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When the ‘I’ intervenes, translating and interpreting symbols, it then alters the meaning of the secret writing and of the orientation which the Being wants to give us symbolically about our inner psychological state.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Internal experiences are interpreted by basing ourselves on the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of the Analogy of Opposites, on the Law of Correspondences and on Numerology.

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

Inspiration. When we learn to interpret the symbolic images of the internal worlds, we have then arrived at Inspired Knowledge. Internal images are interpreted by basing ourselves on the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of the Analogy of Opposites, on the Law of Correspondences, and the Law of Numerology.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

What does an enemy resemble? A furious bull. What does the rain look like? Tears. Intuition. When we know without the need of reasoning, when we see a symbolic image in the superior worlds and we instantly know its meaning, we have arrived at Intuitive Knowledge. The intuitive person knows everything without the need to reason. The new Aquarian Age is the era of intuition.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The ancient priests taught their disciples how to interpret the firmament. Those signs are interpreted basing oneself on the law of philosophical analogies, for example: if you see black stars with your clairvoyance, there is failure for thee. If you see a star fall from heaven at the moment when a friend leaves on a trip, there is going to be a funeral for thy friend. If the star falls on someone, or close to someone important, that personage will die. If a wandering star passes before thee by surprise, someone is leaving thee. If you see two yellow stars separating from each other, it means “war”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

And so dreams are astral experiences. Our disciples must call them astral experiences and not dreams. Our disciples must say last night I was at such and such a place; last night I was in astral body at such and such a place; I had an experience with so-and-so in such-and-such a temple, etc.

The Mysteries of Life and Death also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Daniel's visions were on the Mount, on the astral plane, and not on the physical plane.

The Mysteries of Life and Death also in The Keys of Astral Travel

We will terminate this chapter with the serious statement that it is not possible to go beyond this stage of the Dream Yoga discipline unless we have obtained the perfect memory of our dream experiences.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel, The Retrospective Exercise

We cannot continue further with practices unless we have achieved perfect memory. Of particular interest are those dreams which seem to come from past centuries, or that unfold in environments totally unrelated to the vigil existence of the dreamer.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Once the total development of the dream memory is achieved, and any possibility of lack of memory is eliminated, the symbolism process will open the way to revelation.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The astral images reflected in the magical mirror of imagination can never be translated literally, for these are only the symbolic representation of archetypal ideas. They must be utilised in the same way as a mathematician uses algebraic symbols.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Furthermore, we can say that such ideas come down from the Pure World of the Spirit. The archetypal ideas descending from the Being become marvellous, for they inform us either about the psychological status of any centre of the [human] machine, about esoteric or intimate matters, or about possible successes or dangers, etc. These are always wrapped in the marvellous cover of symbolism.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

On reaching this stage of Dream Yoga discipline, it is indispensable to approach the Tantric aspect of the matter.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

This didactic progression will lead us to the discovery of the Initiator or Unifier Element of dreams.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

When the beginner has successfully performed all Gnostic exercises related to Tantric Dream, he is ostensibly ready for the “Return Practice.”

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In the previous chapter, we mentioned the Initiator Element that comes forth as if by magic from within the changing and formless expressions of dreams.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In other words, the aspirant tries to be conscious of his own dream; that is why he intentionally goes on with it, but carries it to the vigil state, in full lucidity and selfcontrol. Hence, he becomes a spectator and actor of a dream with the advantage — certainly not insignificant — of being able to abandon the scene at will in order to move freely in the Astral World.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Gnostics can awaken to the real state of Illumination only through the understanding and elimination of dreams.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

As long as the aspirant does not achieve the radical dissolution, not only of dreams, but of their psychological generators as well, the absolute awakening is impossible.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

The holy gods of Anahuac are Perfect Men in the strictest sense of the word. They are absolutely awakened. Those beings eradicated even the possibility of dreams from their psyche.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

That dream experience — always recurring — is the Initiator Element that, wisely used, leads us to the awakening of the Consciousness.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Any dream can be used for such purposes when we actually know the technique.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Repeating the dream intentionally is the first step towards the awakening of the Consciousness. The voluntary separation from the dream, in plain action, is the second step.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

The goal this dream discipline seeks is to prepare the disciple to clearly recognise the Four Blessings that manifest in the dream experience.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A lot has been said in the Orient about the Four Lights of Dream; let us study this matter. The first one is called the Revealing Light. It is written in gold letters in the Book of Life that this is perceived just before, or during the first hours of sleep.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In this stage of sleep, the second illumination progressively shows. This is known in Asia by the marvellous name of Increasing Light.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The ascetic Gnostic, by means of the extraordinary Tantric Dream discipline, gets beyond this stage and apprehends the two remaining lights.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The full experience of the crude reality of practical life in the Superior Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness grants the third light, the Immediate Realisation.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Frankly speaking, I assert that the Tantric Dream discipline is in fact an esoteric preparation for that final dream that we call death.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Having “died” many times at night, the anchorite Gnostic who has consciously apprehended the Four Blessings, which present themselves in the dreaming experience, passes to the post mortem state when he dies, with the same ease that he willingly gets into the World of Dreams.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Needless to say here, that any dream as absurd or incoherent as it may be, has some significance, for it indicates not only the psychic centre to which it is associated, but also the psychological status of such a centre.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Many penitent people, who presumed to be chaste, failed in the sexual centre, and had a nocturnal pollution when they were submitted to trials in the internal world.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

If we study carefully the life of dreams, we will find in them so many vague, incoherent, imprecise things, so many subjective aspects, so many absurd things: people, facts that have no reality and that become incoherent. For this reason, they must invite us to reflect.

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

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 Mexico City – June 1977

“Man is known by his dreams”, said Plato in his book. I have studied the work of Plato in two volumes and it seems wonderful to me. Really, the life of the dreams is very important, because the dreams of each one tell what each one is. Blessed be the day when we stop dreaming, when all those “cockroaches” that we carry in the brain turn to dust, when all those absurd incoherences no longer exist, when all those amorphous, fatuous, imprecise, tasteless, insubstantial, odorless states have no existence of any kind. Blessed be the day when we no longer dream, when we stop dreaming! When a man stops dreaming, he has triumphed.

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

But while there are dreams in the mind, while one goes to the psychological space to project inaccurate and absurd dreams, then this tells us that we are doing very badly, this indicates to us that we have a mind full of garbage, a lot of “trash”, as I told you in my last talk.

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

The dreamer fornicates with the mental images that he, himself, created. The dreamer clairvoyantly sees those images. This is what is called unconscious clairvoyance.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance, Lust

Someone is jealous and supposes that a friend of his is having an affair with his spouse. Thus, his “jealous I,” with those picture-fantasies created by himself, elaborates a drama in secrecy. Then, nocturnal dreams occur, and he sees horrible dramas where his spouse is committing adultery with his friend and many other terrible things. This is what is called unconscious clairvoyance.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance, Jealousy

Let us suppose that a clairvoyant distrusts a friend because he assumes that he is a black magician. For that reason, he elaborates the most terrible forms within his unconsciousness; thereafter, these forms appear in his dreams. This is unconscious clairvoyance. This is why he can suffer a tremendous situational reaction that will take him into crime, calumny, public slander, defamation of character, assassination, etc. All the unconscious clairvoyant perceptions enter the cerebellum. Thereafter, the cerebellum transfers such perceptions through the cell groups of the pons or breach, into the cerebrum. So, the unconscious perceptions become conscious when they enter the cerebrum.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

Many times, the perceptions from unconscious clairvoyance remain deposited within the unconscious depths of the human mind. Such perceptions convert themselves into secret temptation, which is the cause of many crimes. In the depths of every human being, many unconscious factors exist that often cause him to commit homicide. The secret sources of any crime are unconscious. Many saints had an unconsciousness filled with carnal passion, sadism, robbery, crime, violence, jealousy, hatred, resentments, etc., etc. Such saints suffered horribly during their dream state. During their dreams, such saints fell into the most frightful crimes. Those saints were great evil doers within their unconsciousness. When they awakened from their dreams, they understood their frightful moral misery. Thus, this is why they were performing terrible penances and covering themselves with sackcloth.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

That Ego had returned to its old deeds with its well-known slanders and threats. Such absurdities and unfounded defamation had as its background certain baseless dreams in which he saw me in very dark streets committing fabricated crimes.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

It becomes manifestly clear that the perverse spirit which he saw in his absurd dreams was an EGO he created himself in Ancient Rome...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

From what has been said about Brutus and his dream-like visions it is clear that nobody can really become a competent investigator of life in the superior worlds until they have dissolved the psychological EGO and all the subjective elements which condition perception.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

At night it can happen that we dream about our friend. Now in no way will we dream of him with harmony: we will see that he attacks us, we will see that we attack him, we dream that we kill him, we dream that he wields weapons against us, etc. In other words, the image of the friend is completely altered; a representation that has been altered.

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

Thus, we can explain the case of many gnostic brothers and sisters who at night often have innumerable dreams of a negative type: sometimes they dream that they kill or that they are killed, that they persecute or that they are persecuted, etc.

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

Another brother who was also a bachelor wanted to practice with imaginary women! This is very ominous! When the mind creates a mental effigy, this effigy acquires consciousness and converts itself into a tempting demon of the Mental World. During sleep, this effigy discharges us sexually through nocturnal pollutions (wet dreams).

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Netzach

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

When we look at a pornographic image, it injures the senses and then passes to the mind. The psychological “I” intervenes in these things, stealing the erotic image for itself, in order to reproduce it in the mental plane. In the world of the mind that image is transformed into a living effigy. During sleep the dreamer fornicates with that living effigy which, like an erotic demon tempts him for the satisfaction of the lust. The result is wet dreams with all their horrible consequences. No true devotee of the path should visit cinemas because they are dens of black magic. The erotic figures of the screen give rise to mental effigies and erotic dreams. In addition the cinemas are full of diabolic elementals created by the human mind. Those malign elementals damage the mind of the spectators.

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

Morbid and lustful dreams are produced by the mechanical sub-imagination and the erotic, automatic infra-imagination.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

If we turn on the television, automatically a succession of scenes and figures pass before our eyes. The imagination is like a television screen, which is triggered by any sexual shock, not only in the intellectual sphere, but in the deeper levels of the mind as well. Any dreamer can be affected in the internal worlds by morbid representations. Those representations produce erotic dreams and nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer customarily restrains himself in the sexual act, he will have erotic dreams, but not nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer has transformed his sub imagination and infraimagination into that of an innocent child, erotic dreams are impossible they totally disappear.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Certainly, nocturnal pollutions are something filthy, dirty and execrative. We always answer that the medicine against such subjective states is sexual magic, the Maithuna. However, we must clarify this matter. While we remain very alive, in other words, while we remain with the ego existing in the forty-nine regions of the subconsciousness, erotic dreams inevitably will continue.

Runic Magic, 1969

Master: Well, I am going to tell you: all sexual scenes are caused by the Ego. Simple “I’s” of lust fornicate incessantly in the astral world, even in the mental world and even in the causal world as well. Nocturnal emissions arise as a consequence of such pornographic dreams.

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

All of these ordeals occur in the astral plane. The prepared disciple, that is to say, the disciple who has spiritual maturity, brings the memory of all of this to the physical plane, just as if he would have had a dream.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

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

Those who tread the Path are usually attacked by the Tenebrous ones when they go to sleep. Temples of Black Magic exist in the Internal Worlds and, of course, their tenebrous members send certain very beautiful and seductive Black Sorceresses, to where the student is, with the only purpose of making him fall sexually.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

They know that if the student spills the Seminal Liquid, the Kundalini descends and the weak and unwary student loses his power.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Whoever wants to regenerate himself has to change this movement and make these creative energies return inwards and upwards. This is even contrary to the interests of Nature. The tenebrous then feel offended and attack the Initiate terribly. The Lady adepts of the Black Hand sexually assault the initiate in order to discharge him. This occurs especially during sleep. Thus wet dreams occur. The student dreams of beautiful women who discharge him sexually to hinder in him the ascent of the Fire through the medullar channel.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Everyone who follows the Path of the Perfect Matrimony should live alert and vigilant like the sentry in wartime. During the hours of sleep, the Masters test their disciples. The tenebrous attack us during sleep when we are working in the Great Work. During sleep, in the internal worlds we have to pass through many trials. The Masters awaken the consciousness of the disciple when they are going to test him in something.

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

Long ago, in Lemuria and Atlantis, all of mankind lived in the internal worlds, but in a negative form; the astral chakras turned from right to left, that is, to say, in a negative way (in reverse). The consciousness in humans was like that which people have in what we call dreams. That same consciousness of dreams is that of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Root Races

With the exercises of Gemini, we change the “pictorial” conscience of dream life, for a conscious and totally awake conscience.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Awakening

The disciple who is asleep in the internal worlds, will now awaken his conscience and will not dream anymore. He will exchange his “dreams” for conscious experiences. These exercises will produce those internal shocks which will awaken his conscience, and will exchange dreams for real and effective experiences within the internal worlds.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

So while his body is asleep in bed, the disciple in the internal worlds will become an invisible help and a worker under the orders of the Universal White Fraternity. Before, the chakras turned from right to left and now with these exercises, they will turn positively like the hands of the clock. These exercises will totally impede him from dreaming again and while his body sleeps, he will be conscious in the internal worlds. That will be the result of these exercises. The conscience of dreams is a remnant of our animal conscience that we once possessed. Animals live a life of pictorial dreams. There will be many who will have difficulty “leaving” in the astral body at will, but by all means the exercises of this lesson of Gemini, will “inevitably” awaken their conscience and so, while their bodies sleep in their beds, they, too, will work consciously in the internal worlds. The important thing is that on awakening, they remember well their astral experience, which “are no longer dreams” but rather “conscious experiences”. To obtain this it is necessary that on awakening, not to move and do a retrospective exercise to remember well all we did white we were out of the physical body, since while every individual’s body is asleep, he is out of the body; those with asleep conscience, “dreaming” and those with awake conscience, “working” consciously.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Retrospective Exercise

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

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

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

He who has awakened is incapable of dreaming. While his physical body sleeps in bed, he lives in the inner worlds in a state of intensified vigilance. Such people are authentic enlightened seers.

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

Only those awakened clairvoyants, only those clairvoyants who already possess their Christic vehicles are worthy of true credit. They are not dreamers. They do not make mistakes. They are true illuminates. Such people are in fact true Masters of the White Lodge. The visions of this class of sublime man are not simple dreams. These are the Masters of Perfection. This kind of Master cannot dream any more. This class of Master can investigate the memories of nature and read in the sealed archives of creation all the history of the Earth and its races.

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

Once the student enjoys continuous consciousness, he no longer dreams, he is unable to dream because his consciousness is awakened. Then, even when his body is sleeping, he moves consciously in the superior worlds.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

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 truly Enlightened One has no dreams; dreams are for the ones who are asleep. The truly Enlightened One lives in the superior worlds, outside the physical body, in a state of intensified wakefulness, without ever dreaming. The truly Enlightened One, after the death of the physical body, is awake in the psychological space.

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

People who live dreaming in the physical world, also live dreaming in the internal worlds, during those hours in which the physical body is sleeping.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Awakening

One needs to cease dreaming in the internal worlds. When we stop dreaming in the physical world, we awaken here and now, and that awakening appears in the internal worlds.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Awakening

Master: Well, one can also dream that one is awake. Many can dream that they are awake, but still they are not. Awakening is what is important, and not dreaming that you are awake, because we are asleep...! One dreams that one is awake, simply, when that kind of phenomena that we are talking about happens to the individual, because to the awakened individual, truly awakened, that kind of phenomena does not happen. The awakened person lives awake in an intensified wakefulness, during those moments in which the physical body lies in bed.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 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 Mexico City – 1971 also in Awakening, The Keys of Astral Travel

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.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Mexico City – 1971 also in Awakening, Identification

Those dreamers do truly absurd things. For instance, one of those many days, finding myself in a certain house, I suddenly saw that the matron of that residence leaves her room, comes to me, embraces me ardently and even kisses me. I, surprised, told her: “But, madam, you are mistaking me!” Yes, she was calling me by the name of her husband, a guy so-and-so. I told her: “But look, you are asleep and I am not your husband! You come to kiss and hug me and all that, but I am not your husband!”

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

“Are you convinced now? You were dreaming, you thought I was your husband and I was not. You need to be concerned with, fight for awakening the Consciousness.”

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

She reflected a little and withdrew. This is what those who are asleep are like in the astral world, and also in the world of the mind. When one awakens, those dreams end, and one sees things as they are, not as they apparently are.

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

The time has come to go to the bottom of this matter, and I think the most important thing is to stop dreaming. Dreams, in reality, are only mere projections of the mind and, therefore, they are illusory, they are no good. Precisely, it is the Ego that projects dreams and, obviously, those dreams are useless. We need to transform the subconscious into the conscious; we need to radically eliminate not only dreams, but the possibility of dreaming. It is unquestionable that such a possibility exists as long as there are subjective elements within our psyche. We need a mind that does not project, we need to exhaust the process of thinking. The “projective mind” projects dreams and these are vain and illusory.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Mexico City – June 1977 also in Awakening, The Mind

The projective mind –I repeat– projects dreams and it is clear that as long as the subconscious exists, the projections will exist. When the subconscious has become conscious, the projections end, they can no longer exist, they disappear.

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

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

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

A certain author says that “dreams are disguised ideas” and if that is so, we can clarify the matter a little more by saying that they are projections of the mind, because those “disguised ideas” are projected mentally, and that is why the dreams, therefore, are false and vain.

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

But he who lives awake no longer dreams. No one could live awake without having died in himself, without having annihilated the Ego, the “I”, the Myself. That is why I want all the brothers to be concerned about the disintegration of the Ego, because only like this, by disintegrating that terrible legion, can they remain radically awake.

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

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 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

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 Ego is the mind. Dreams, therefore, are projections of the mind. You must note this with great attention: it is indispensable to not project. Not only are things projected for the future; we constantly live projecting the things of yesterday. Also, all kinds of emotions are projected in the present: morbidities, passions, etc.

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

The projections of the mind are infinite and, therefore, the possibilities of dreaming are also infinite.

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

How could a dreamer be considered Enlightened? Obviously, the dreamer is nothing more than a dreamer, who knows nothing about the reality of things, about what is beyond the world of dreams.

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

Meditation is indispensable for comprehending our psychological errors. When one understands that one has this or that error or defect, he can afford to eliminate it, just as I taught it in my work entitled The Mystery of the Golden Blossom. To eliminate this or that error, this or that psychological defect, is equivalent to eliminating this or that psychic aggregate, this or that subjective element, within which exists the possibilities of dreaming or projecting dreams.

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

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.
