The Science of Meditation

Whosoever learns how to be in communication with such an Atom through meditation will be taught and instructed upon the cosmic wisdom, since this Atom is a sage. This Master Atom resides in our seminal system. By practicing sexual magic, this atom rises towards our head and then illuminates us in the world of the mind.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

When through profound interior meditation you learn how to enter within your own cavern, then oh disciple, you will converse with your own Intimate.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The only thing that the intellectual animal can do, unable to incarnate the Being due to the fact that he still does not possess the Superior Existential Bodies, is to practice meditation to awaken the Buddhata and know the Truth.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening

1. Meditation is the esoteric discipline of the Gnostics.

Igneous Rose, 1954

1. Those who cannot come out in the Astral body owe it to having lost the faculty and then they have to reconquer this faculty through daily Meditation.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954 also in Manual of Practical Magic, The Keys of Astral Travel

2. Meditation is a scientific system to receive internal information.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

There are many disciples who in spite of having known many clues to come out in the astral body, did not succeed at learning to come out at will. The failure of these students is due to them having already lost the powers of the astral body. Those students have no other remedy but to subject themselves to the discipline of meditation in order to recover the lost powers. Meditation is a technique to receive information. When the sage sinks into inner meditation, what he seeks is information. The chakras enter into activity with meditation.

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

It is better to practice inner meditation instead of wasting time reasoning. With inner meditation we can converse with God, the Inner-Self, the Being, the Most High. In this manner we can learn from the Inner Master; in this manner we can study divine wisdom at the feet of the Master.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

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

Remember that meditation is the daily bread of the wise.

The Yellow Book, 1959

This book is solely a book of Sexual Magic. Those who are accustomed to read thousands of books out of pure intellectual curiosity, will in fact, miss the opportunity to study this work in depth. This book should not be read quickly. Whoever thinks like this is mistaken. It is necessary to study it profoundly and to comprehend it totally, not only with the intellect but in all levels of the mind. The intellect is only a small fraction of the mind. The intellect is not the whole mind. He who understands this book only with the intellect has not understood it. Only with internal meditation is it possible to understand it in all levels of the mind.

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

Every true technique of internal meditation is intimately related with sexual transmutation. We need to raise the lamp very high to illuminate ourselves.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

2. When the wise submerges into meditation, he searches for information.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

It is impossible to experience the truth of non-killing if we exclude profound, intimate meditation. Only very profound meditation can lead us to experience the truth about war.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Only by breaking the bottle of time by means of correct meditation can we experience the Eternal, the Timeless, the Real.

Fundamental Education, 1970

That which is the truth about death—that which is the interval between death and conception—is something that does not belong to time and that we can experience only through the science of meditation.

Fundamental Education, 1970

When the magician immerses himself in Meditation, he is loking for information. Meditation is a Scientific system to receive inner information.

Christ Consciousness, 1952

Meditation is the sage's daily bread.

Christ Consciousness, 1952

2. “First know then act,” remember that Real Knowledge is only acquired through Profound Meditation.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

It is better to practice inner meditation than to waste time reasoning.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

With inner meditation we are able to speak with God, the Intimus, the Being, the Almighty; thus we can learn from the Internal Master, thus we can study Divine Wisdom at the feet of the Master.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Daily meditation is the bread of the wise, it is impossible to reach the Buddha’s interior illumination without it.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

Indubitably, only through serene self-reflection and profound, internal meditation can we make a clear differentiation between inner, direct Luciferian impressions and bestial egotistical impressions.

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

It is possible to unveil any of the astral symbols, scenes, or figures — with the goal of taking out their essential ideas — only by means of the correlative and logical meditation of the Being.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

We know very well that meditation is the daily bread of the wise. When one is meditating, one is searching for God or is searching for power.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

Every individual can fabricate a soul. When we know the technique of internal meditation, when we direct mental power to the interior of our own divine center, the resistance that we will find will cause a reaction and the more vigorous the centripetal force we apply, the more vigorous the centrifugal force will be. In this way we fabricate a soul, in this manner the soul grows and expands. The strong and robust soul incarnates and transforms the physical body, transforms it into more subtle and elevated matter until it also converts it into soul.

Introduction to Gnosis

Memory is the formative principle of the Intellectual Center. When a person aspires to something more, when someone looks through the limitations of the subconscious and sees that which he has deposited in the memory and analyzes and meditates on the last occurrence or teachings of an esoteric book, then those values move to the emotional phase of the same Intellectual Center. When one wants to know the deep meaning of said teachings and the person surrenders in full to meditation, obviously such teachings move on to the Emotional Center properly said and they then come to be felt in the depth of the soul.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Meditation is formidable to make us conscious of the Gnostic teachings; but let us not commit the error of leaving the teachings exclusively in theories or in the memory, because if we proceed in this manner we will never achieve the dominion of the mind. THE REQUIREMENT The crude reality of facts comes to demonstrate to us that many are those who have not comprehended the transcendence of the Gnostic esoteric work, and that a great majority are not good householders.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

One should become conscious of what one studies by means of spontaneous meditation, otherwise, it destroys the intellect.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When we, through meditation, try to know the intimate meaning of what we have deposited in the memory, then this knowledge deposited in our memory passes into the superior parts of the intellectual center, and if we try to be more conscious of the teaching, eventually this knowledge will definitively be absorbed by the emotional center, then it is no longer intellectual –we must distinguish between the emotional center and the intellectual center–.

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

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

Master: The truth is something that cannot be defined, because if it is defined, it is disfigured. But we can say that the steps for knowledge to become conscious are described in the following way: first step, one studies so that the knowledge is deposited in the memory. Second step, one meditates with the intention of apprehending the deep meaning of the knowledge deposited in the memory. When that happens, the knowledge – through meditation– passes to the emotional part of the intellectual center, and this has to be explained.

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

The intellectual center has three parts: the superior intellectual part, the emotional part and the motor part. We would say that the knowledge passes to the emotional part of the intellectual center; then we begin to feel a certain flavor of what we have deposited in our memory. In a more advanced stage of meditation, that knowledge definitely leaves the intellectual center to be deposited, strictly, within the emotional center and, subsequently, through the technique of meditation, we finally pass the knowledge from the emotional center to the Essence. This knowledge remains deposited in the Essence, which is, the truth or the truths that we can bring to the Essence. To speak more clearly, they have a rather emotional flavor, but I do not speak of inferior emotions, but emotions of a superior type.

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

In Atlantis or in Lemuria, nobody studied like that. A Lemurian considered the letters sacred, and used an alphabet that had three hundred consonants and fifty-one vowels. The letters were sacred in Lemuria and no one accepted a paragraph of some sacred book if he had not previously become conscious of that paragraph; and to become conscious of that paragraph, they spent entire days dedicated to meditation. Then they were conscious of what they were studying.

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

Establishing the balance between the Being and knowing is indispensable. One establishes this balance between the Being and knowing on the basis of meditation. If we study, for example, a biblical verse and we use nothing but the formative center, the intellective center, for the study, obviously, we are doing badly, we are destroying that center.

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

Some ask for faith, cry out for faith. It is fine to pray, but the saying goes: “God helps those who help themselves.” So, what do we do? Really, in order to have faith, first of all one must fabricate it; faith is not something that can be achieved chimerically. I repeat, we have to fabricate it. And how is it fabricated? Based on study and experience. It is obvious that through study and direct experience, through the technique of meditation, we will come to comprehend, and from that comprehension spontaneously arises that which is called faith.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

If through meditation we are experiencing, if we are studying something, some transcendental subject, if we strive to comprehend it, it is obvious that the first thing we will have will be the mystical experience –as a result of study and meditation–. Then comes comprehension, that spark of light that the Third Logos gives us. He comes to our aid to give us comprehension, and from such comprehension results faith.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

The Human Soul is indeed the Being; the Spiritual Soul or the Buddhi is the Being; the Atman is the Being. When I say the Hanbledzoïn of the Being, the sacred Aiësakhaldan, I am talking about a new type of blood which must be created in order to nourish the body of the sacred will or of the conscious will, the will that can determine or define the circumstances: the Egoaitoorassnian will. With what is this blood formed, this Hanbledzoïn of the Being? With the emanations of the Sacred Absolute Sun. And how would a mystic succeed in attracting those emanations of the Sacred Solar Absolute to his causal body? How could we attract the sacred Aiësakhaldan? It is simply by means of contemplation, meditation and prayer. Then, such emanations are transformed into the blood of the causal, into the Hanbledzoïn of the Being.

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

In the world there are many people who believe they have the Truth without having ever experienced it in life. These people commonly want to teach the Truth to those who have indeed experienced it at some time. The experience of the Truth without the wise concentration of the mind becomes impossible.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

There are two types of concentration: the first is an exclusive type and the second is a full, total, non-exclusive type. True concentration is not the result of options with all its battles, nor is it to choose these or those thoughts.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Our system of concentration excludes nothing, is full, integral. Our system of concentration includes everything and excludes nothing. Our system of concentration is the path that leads us to the experience of the Truth.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

2. Meditation has three steps: Concentration, meditation, and Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954

3. Concentration means to fix the mind on only one object. Meditation means to reflect upon the substantial contents of that one object. Samadhi is ecstasy, mystical joy. 4. A Master of Samadhi penetrates all the planes of consciousness, and with the eye of Dagma he investigates all the secrets of the wisdom of the fire.

Igneous Rose, 1954

22. Concentration, meditation and Samadhi are the three obligatory paths for the Initiation.

Igneous Rose, 1954

25. Concentration, meditation and Samadhi are known in the East as Samyasi. We must perform it on each one of our vehicles.

Igneous Rose, 1954

What is important is to learn to concentrate thought on one thing only. Whosoever learns to think on only one thing creates marvels and prodigies.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Profound concentration, perfect Meditation, and supreme Adoration are the three steps of initiation.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Concentration, Meditation, Adoration, and the Mantram, convert us into Authentic Theurgists.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Concentration, Meditation, and Supreme Adoration take us to the Samadhi.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

We must know how to Concentrate.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

We must know how to Meditate.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Really only the Turiya is an authentic clairvoyant. It is impossible to reach these heights without having been born in the causal world. Whoever wishes to reach the state of Turiya should thoroughly study the semi-unconscious psychic processes which actually constitute the origin of many forms of self-deception, self-suggestion and hypnosis. The Gnostic should first attain the ability to stop the course of his thoughts, the capacity to Not Think. Only he who achieves that capacity will really hear the Voice of Silence. When the Gnostic disciple attains the capacity of not thinking, then he should learn to con cent rate his thought on a single thing. The third step is correct meditation. This brings the first flashes of the new consciousness to the mind. The fourth step is contemplation, ecstasy or Samãdhi. This is the state of Turiya (perfect clairvoyance).

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

Instead of paying homage to the execrable Demon Algol, it is better to drink the wine of meditation in the goblet of perfect concentration...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Full attention, natural and spontaneous, in whatever we are interested in without artificialities is truly perfect concentration.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Drink the wine of meditation in the delightful cup of perfect concentration.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Any real samyasin has basically three components: a) Perfect concentration of the conscious will b) Total meditation c) Ecstasy, entrancement, mystical joy, supreme adoration It goes without saying, in this Christmas Message 1974- 1975, that patience is the ladder of the Gnostics and humility is the gate of their garden.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

When one has attained true concentration, one arrives at true happiness.

For the Few, 1980

Thus, my dear brothers, up to here is tonight’s lecture. However, there is something that I must add, before closing this talk. We need you to learn to meditate profoundly, that you know how to meditate. When one has attained true concentration, one reaches true bliss.

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

Upon the solemn threshold of the Temple at Delphi was found a sacred inscription carved in living stone which read as follows, “Nosce te ipsum.” “Know yourself and you will know the universe and the Gods.” The transcendental science of meditation has as its fundamental cornerstone this sacred lemma of the Hierophants of Ancient Greece. If we truly and sincerely want to establish the basis for right meditation, it is necessary to comprehend ourselves in all levels of the mind. Establishing the correct basis for meditation means to be free of ambition, egotism or selfishness, fear, hatred, greed for psychic powers, desire for results, etc.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Fear

It is crystal clear and beyond all doubt that after establishing the fundamental cornerstone of meditation, the mind remains quiet and in profound and transcendent silence.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The one who truly wants to establish in one’s mind the fundamental cornerstone of meditation must pay full attention to the positive and negative values contained in one’s understanding and completely comprehend them, not merely on the intellectual level but also in all the subconscious, infraconscious, and unconscious regions of the mind. We must never forget that the mind has many levels.

Fundamental Education, 1970

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

MEDITATION The only important thing in life is radical, total and definitive change; the rest, frankly, has no importance at all.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Meditation is fundamental when we sincerely want such change.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

In no way do we wish insignificant, superficial, vain meditation.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

But I say to you, we must begin by changing our way of thinking in order to work correctly upon ourselves, truly disintegrating the undesirable elements that we carry within. Thus we can attain the awakening of the consciousness, and the development of the Bodhichitta. It is necessary to know how to meditate, to comprehend what meditation is. The aim of meditation is very simple. What do we want to attain through meditation? Tranquility. What we are saying may seem very superfluous. You could raise the objection to me that we could calm ourselves with a bottle of wine. That is clear. You could raise the objection to me that we could calm ourselves listening to a symphony of Beethoven. But truly, to attain tranquility is the most difficult thing you could imagine.

For the Few, 1980 also in Awakening

No one could have tranquility, meditate, and have ones mind in holy peace, if one has not eliminated inopportune and senile thinking from ones intellectual center. No one could have peace in ones heart, if one has not previously eliminated negative and harmful emotions from oneself.

For the Few, 1980

We need you to learn how to meditate in the deepest way. We need you to know how to meditate.

For the Few, 1980

Here I have taught you a simple way to meditate, because there is a type of meditation that is dedicated to the self-exploration of the ego with the aim of disintegrating it, to turn it into ashes. There is also another type of meditation that has as its aim to one day arrive at the experience of the real. If only you were to achieve it, so that, being internally motivated, you might continue, and you might work on yourselves! Nevertheless, I consider that it is necessary to have a mantram that is useful. The mantram that I am going to give to you is very simple: Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi-Swaha. This mantram is pronounced in this way: Gaaateeeee, Gaaateeeee, Paragaaateeeee, Parasamgaaateeeee, Booodhiiiii-Swaaaaahaaaaa. In our hearts this must be engraved.

For the Few, 1980

The purpose of profound interior meditation is to obtain true tranquility.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

We explore the psychological ‘I’ during profound interior meditation.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

We need to profoundly study ourselves in all of the levels of the mind, because the ‘I’ is a book of many volumes.

Dissolving the I, 1964

The daily practice of meditation radically transforms us. People who do not work on the annihilation of the ‘I’ live like butterflies going from school to school and do not find their permanent center of gravity, they die as failures without having attained the inner Self-Realization of the Being.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

One has to make of daily life a continuous meditation. Meditation is not only that action of quieting the mind when we are at home or in the sanctuary; but it can also encompass the thread of daily living so that life immediately becomes a constant meditation. The mind in itself is the Ego. But it is urgent to destroy the ego in order for the mental substance to remain with which the mental body can be fabricated. The mental body can be fabricated but one will still have the mind. What is important is to liberate oneself from the mind, become free of it. Being free of it to learn to function in the world of pure spirit without mind. To learn to live in that current of sound that is beyond the mind and is not time.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Mind

It is necessary to know how to meditate, to comprehend what the technique of meditation is. The object of meditation is very simple. What is it that we are seeking through meditation? Tranquility.

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

Here I have taught you a simple way to meditate, because there is a type of meditation that is dedicated to self-exploration of the Ego with the purpose of disintegrating it, of turning it into ashes. But there is also another kind of meditation, whose objective is to someday reach the experience of the Real.

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

The devotees must not meditate with a full stomach. It is necessary for the devotees to abandon the sin of gluttony.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Gluttony, The Yellow Book

87. The mind of the student is prepared for Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi with the practice of Pranayama.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955 also in Alchemy

The best Initiates of Laya Yoga, Zen and Chan intelligently combine meditation with Pranayama when comprehending the urgent necessity of awakening the Consciousness. When a minute fraction of vital energy travels through the length of a nervous fiber and provokes reactions in certain centers, it is perceived as a dream or as imagination; however, when, under the effects of Pranayama (in combination with Meditation) any minute fraction of Sacred Fire achieves to rise through the Medullar Canal, the reaction of such centers is formidable, immensely superior to that of a dream or imagination. Any minute fraction of the reserve of Kundalini becomes formidable for the Awakening of the Consciousness; therefore, it is, by all means, marvelous to combine meditation with respiratory exercises.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

We, the Gnostics know that the brazen serpent, which healed the Israelites in the wilderness, the divine Princess of Love, only awakens and rises along the dorsal spine by means of the Maithuna. Nonetheless, it is not advantageous to undervalue Pranayama. It is worthy to know that this magical science of breath (Pranayama), when wisely combined with scientific meditation, permits us to utilize certain sparks, flashes, flames of Kundalini, for the healthy purpose of attaining the Awakening.

Runic Magic, 1969

When in the state of ecstasy we study the life of Christ. Then we discover that a great fragment of this cosmic drama represented by the Lord remains unwritten. We must practice Gnostic meditation daily. It can be practiced alone or in a group.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

This technique of meditation, taught in this book, must be established in all of the Gnostic Lumisials as an obligation, thus, converting those Lumisials into centers of meditation. All of the Gnostic brethren must gather, sit and meditate as a group. Every Gnostic group must practice this technique of meditation before or after the meetings of Second Chamber.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

This technique of meditation also can and must be practiced daily in our homes. Those who can go out into the woods, to the country, must do so in order to meditate within the silence of the forest.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

It is necessary to include within the order of the Gnostic Lumisials the technique of meditation, based on the message and the teachings of this book. Thus, we deliver the unique technique of meditation that must be accepted in all of the Lumisials.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Study, most beloved ones. Practice meditation in all of the Lumisials, and also individually. The Gnostic Lumisials must become meditation centers. Practice, dissolve the ‘I,’, dearest ones; pray, transmute your sexual secretions into light and fire; fight untiringly to open more and more Lumisials everywhere. You have an established conduct in the Lumisials, but within this conduct you must include at least one hour of group meditation. Remember that group meditation forms a formidable magnetic vortex, which, by means of cosmic magnetization, will have the power to attract towards you a certain very necessary type of divine force.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Lust

In the sacred India of the Vedas, yogis practice internal meditation four times a day. Yet, in our occidental world, due to the preoccupation of our daily lives and the hard battle for existence, if we can only practice meditation once a day, then this is sufficient. It is important to practice daily, without missing even one day. With incessant, continuous and tenacious repetition, we will eventually put our chakras into rotation. Thus, after some time, the first clairvoyant and clairaudient perceptions will begin.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

The meditation must last one hour. The mantras must be pronounced with true mystic fervour; with supreme adoration. The mind must be directed towards the Internal God. Let us remember that our Gnostic Sanctuaries are centres of Internal Meditation. Men and women can organise these chains in all the Sanctuaries with the goal of awakening superior faculties.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in The Words He Uses

Gnostic Lumisials must become meditation halls. Meditation must be practiced in groups, in accordance with the lesson in Chapter 18 of this Christmas message. Remember, beloved that by means of the story about Chinese Master Wu Wen we are teaching a practical technique for meditation.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The Gnostic Medic will have to practice internal meditation daily. We achieve the awakening of the consciousness and the actualization of all our occult powers with the technique of Meditation, sexual magic and the power of the verb. One hour of daily vocalization is more worthy than reading a thousand books of oriental theosophy. True vocalization is intimately related with the technique of meditation.

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

We must practice daily Gnostic meditation, it can be practiced alone or in a group.

Dissolving the I, 1964

All of the Gnostic Brethren must gather, sit and meditate as a group.

Dissolving the I, 1964

Every Gnostic group must practice this technique of meditation before or after the meetings of second chamber.

Dissolving the I, 1964

More meditation, please, more meditation is what you need! In the Third Chamber, in the Lumisial, group meditation can be done, and it is recommended to do it so that everyone receives strength. And at home, you have to work daily, daily at home, my dear brothers, work and work and work. Remember that meditation is the bread of the wise, our daily bread; we must practice it with intensity. Have you comprehended me?

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

Drowsiness in combination with meditation produces ecstasy.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

On a certain occasion we heard an exotic declaration from the lips of a Hindustani swami. The master explained the necessity of Hatha Yoga to the people in the auditorium as being indispensable in order to reach the heights of Samadhi. That Yogi stated that many people have not achieved success with internal meditation, in spite of their long efforts and daily training. According to the Swami, such failures were due to the exclusion of Hatha Yoga.

The Yellow Book, 1959

Frankly, we disagree with this affirmation given by the venerable swami. Those who have not obtained illumination after ten to twenty years of practicing internal meditation must find the cause in the lack of the sleepy state. It is urgent to combine meditation with sleep.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

All those who wish to awaken clairvoyance while undervaluing imagination will fall into the same absurdity as those who wish to practice meditation in the absolute absence of sleep. These people fail to develop their internal powers. These people violate the laws of nature and the inevitable result is failure.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Clairvoyance, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The devotee who wishes to carry out these practices with success must devote himself to internal meditation when he truly feels very sleepy. You must know that every esoteric exercise of meditation that lacks the factor of sleep is harmful, useless, sterile, because it damages the mind and harms the brain.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Internal meditation must be intelligently combined with sleep.

The Yellow Book, 1959

It is necessary to combine meditation with slumber. We have to remember that meditation without slumber damages the mind and damages the internal powers. We must learn how to provoke slumber at will. This is how we attain internal illumination. Many people when searching for wisdom travel to India; it is necessary to know that all the treasures of ancient wisdom are hidden in Mexico.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

The symbolic language of the Sufis has marvellous expressions. Among them, sleep signifies meditation. Actually, meditation with out sleep damages the mind. This is known by every true Initiate. One must combine sleep with meditation. This is known by the Sufis. The word perfume symbolises the hope of divine favour; kisses and embraces amongst other things, signify the rapture of piety; wine means Spiritual knowledge etc., etc.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is evident, notorious and unarguable that from the wise combination of drowsiness and meditation, that which is called Illumination is the outcome.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Words He Uses

MURCHA: States of lassitude, spontaneous relaxation during the esoteric exercises. NIDRA: A specific mode of dream that when combined with meditation becomes transformed into Samadhi (ecstasy).

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Murcha: States of lassitude, relaxation of the muscles and nerves during meditation in a natural and spontaneous manner.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Nidra: A specific mode of dreaming that, combined with interior deep meditation, becomes a shining shamadhi (ecstasy).

The Three Mountains, 1972

11. Meditation without sleepiness destroys the brain and damages the mind.

The Science of Meditation

12. Profound meditation properly combined with sleepiness leads to ecstasy, to “Samadhi.”

The Science of Meditation

19. In a similar way, the science of meditation is like this.

The Science of Meditation

20. If we have more sleepiness than meditation, we will fall into unconsciousness. 21. If we have more meditation than sleepiness we will ruin the mind and the brain. 22. However, if we know how to harmoniously combine sleepiness and meditation, we will achieve that which is called “Samadhi,” “ecstasy.”

The Science of Meditation

23. He who tries to meditate while radically eliminating sleepiness resembles one who tries to drive an automobile while stepping on the brakes.

The Science of Meditation

24. Another example will clarify all this better. 25. Imagine for a moment a horseman on his horse. 26. If the horseman wants to make his horse gallop off, he will have to slacken the reins. But if instead of doing that he pulls on the reins and hurts the animal with his spurs, he will have done something absurd since the poor animal will become restless. The horse will stand up on his hind-legs, neigh, and even violently throw the horseman to the ground. 27. Something precisely analogous to this will happen to the devotee who tries to meditate while eliminating sleepiness…

The Science of Meditation

The ‘I’ also strives for and covets those silences and even artificially fabricates them. During profound meditation, we need total quietude and silence of the mind, but we do not need that false quietude and silence fabricated by the ‘I’. We should not forget that the devil saying Mass often deceives even the most astute people.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Greed

To know how to meditate is to be on the path of interior illumination, if we want to learn how to meditate we should comprehend that there exists no difference between me and my mind, that is to say, between thinker and thought.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

When we try to unite all of those fragments during meditation, with the sound purpose of being integral, then all those fragments form another great fragment that we have to battle with, therefore, making the quietude and silence of the mind impossible.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

We should not divide ourselves by means of meditation into superior ‘I’ and inferior ‘I’; ‘I’ and my thoughts, my mind and me, because the mind and the ‘I’, my thoughts and me, are all one, the ego, the pluralised ‘I’, the myself, etc, etc.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

When I try to reunite all of the fragments of my mind into one thing there is dualism. Dualism exists when my mind is a slave of the good and the bad, of the cold and the hot, of what is big and what is small, of what is agreeable and disagreeable, of yes and no, etc. There is also dualism when we divide ourselves between superior ‘I’ and inferior ‘I’ and we aspire for the superior ‘I’ to control us during meditation.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Mind

By giving form to phrases, memories, images, ideas, desires, etc., mental associations constitute the fundamental cause of the incessant chattering of the mind and the entire battle of antitheses. If with comprehension we disassociate from the mind, if with comprehension we dissociate from all subconscious memories, if with comprehension we eliminate the subjective elements of our perceptions, then, it is clear that the mind remains quiet and silent: not only on the surface, but also in the deepest levels of the subconscious.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Mind

When we comprehend the uselessness of thinking during this practice, which will take us to inspirational knowledge, then the mind will naturally remain quiet and in silence. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is quiet and a mind which has to be forced to be quiet. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is in silence and a mind which is silenced by force. When the mind is quiet and silenced with violence, a secret struggle exists, and this mind is therefore not quiet, neither is it in silence. Only when we have comprehended the uselessness of thinking during these practices. will the mind remain quiet and in silence by itself.

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

Whoever attempts and decides to hear that mystical SOUND, let him keep his mind in silence, not silenced; we repeat IN SILENCE. Let us distinguish between a mind that is calm, because it has comprehended that it is useless to think; and an artificially calmed mind. Differentiate between a mind that is in spontaneous, natural silence, and one that has been silenced by force, violently.

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

After his experience of the illuminating Void, Wu Wen went to the mountain of Wung Chow and meditated there for six years. Later, he meditated six more years at the mountain of Lu Han, and after that, three more years in Kuang Chou. At the end of all these efforts and after much suffering, Master Wu Wen attained ultimate illumination. Master Wu Wen was a true athlete of meditation. During his practices, he understood that all mental effort creates intellectual tension, and that this obstructs illumination because it harms meditation.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Master Wu Wen felt himself to be neither a god nor a deva, in the manner of mythomaniacs, but a wretched pluralized “I” who was prepared to die in himself more each time. Master Wu Wen did not divide himself into “I” and “my thoughts” for he understood that “my thoughts” and “I” are the whole “I” and that it is necessary to have integrity to achieve perfect meditation.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

During meditation, Master Wu Wen was in a whole, receptive, and very humble state; with a quiet and profoundly silent mind; without making any kind of effort; without mental tension; without any desire to be something more, because he knew very well that the I is that which it is and can never be something more than it is.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

THE TECHNIQUE OF MEDITATION The technique of meditation permits us to arrive at the heights of illumination, We should distinguish between a mind that is still and a mind that is stilled by force. We should distinguish between a mind that is in silence and a mind that is violently silenced.

Dissolving the I, 1964

When the mind is stilled by force, it is really not still. It is gagged by violence and in the deeper levels of understanding there exists an entire tempest. When the mind is violently silenced, it is really not in silence. Deep within, it clamors, shouts, and despairs.

Dissolving the I, 1964

We do not need any effort to comprehend each and all of the defects that we carry hidden in the different levels of the mind.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Extrasensory perceptions during meditation, illumination, the solution to a problem, are only possible when no kind of conscious or subconscious effort exists, when the mind does not exert itself to be more tha n it is.

We should distinguish between a mind that is still and a mind that is stilled by force. When the mind is stilled by force, it is really not still. It is gagged by violence and in the deeper levels of understanding, there is an entire tempest.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When the mind is really still, not violently stilled, but spontaneously and naturally still; when the mind is in silence, not silenced by force, gagged –because then it would be screaming inside–; no –I repeat–, in silence in a natural way, then the new comes.

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

It is necessary to put an end to modifications of the thinking principle during meditation. When the thinking principle remains under our control, illumination comes to us spontaneously. Mental control permits us to destroy the shackles created by the mind. To achieve the stillness and silence of the mind, it is necessary to know how to live from instant to instant, to know how to take advantage of each moment, to not live the moment in doses.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

An initial study in the technique of meditation is the antechamber of that divine peace that surpasses all knowledge. The most elevated form of thinking is non-thinking. When one achieves the stillness and silence of the mind, the ‘I’, with all its passions, desires, appetites, fears, affections, etc. becomes absent. 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.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 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

Intimate, reality, without having arrived at being true technical and scientific masters of that mysterious science called meditation. It is completely impossible to experience the Being, the Intimate, reality, without having arrived at true mastery of the quietude and silence of the mind. However, we should not deceive ourselves and confuse the cat with the hare.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Illumination and ecstasy come when the mind is silent, when the mind is quiet.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The mind must become a serene lake, without storms, where the whole panorama of the starry skies is reflected. When the mind is quiet and in silence, then the Divine Mother delights in us. That is beatitude.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

It is possible to experience the Truth only when the mind is quiet, when the mind is silent. Schoolteachers and college and university professors must show to their students the path of profound internal meditation. The path of profound internal meditation leads to the stillness and silence of the mind. When the mind is quiet, empty of thoughts, desires, opinions, etc., when the mind is silent the Truth comes to us.

Fundamental Education, 1970

When the mind is free from all thoughts and is silent, the 300,000 clans then vibrate at the same tone, without any effort. When the mind is silent, the new, that which is real, comes to us.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

When the Mind is still, within and without, when the Mind is in Silence within and without, when the mind has freed itself from dualism, then the novel comes to us. It is necessary to empty the mind of all kinds of thoughts, desires, passions, appetites, fears, etc. in order for the experience of what is Real to come to us.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Fear

In the end, we must become lost within something... millions of human beings become lost within the Infernal Worlds. But, the Gnostics, we prefer to become lost within Brahma. meditation he achieved the absolute independence from his mind.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

It is urgent to stop the mental contents (Chitta) from acquiring diverse forms (Vrittis) during Profound Inner Meditation. When our mental waves have ceased and our intellectual lake has become calm, then, the illusion produced by the waves of the opposites also ceases within us; thus, the experience of the Reality arrives.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

By all means, it becomes luminous to deeply comprehend that when this tempest in the ocean of the mind ceases and the struggle between the opposites finishes, the Essence escapes and submerges itself within that which is the Reality. What is very difficult, labourious, arduous and strenuous is the achieving of the absolute mental silence in all and each one of the 49 subconscious departments of the mind. To reach, to obtain quietude and silence in the mere superficial intellectual level, or in some subconscious departments of the mind is not enough, because the Essence continues bottled up within the submerged infraconscious and unconscious dualism. A blank mind is something extremely superficial, hollow and intellectual. What we need is serene reflection if what we truly want is to achieve the quietude and absolute silence of the mind.

Runic Magic, 1969

To reflect, observe and know these infra human aspects, these obscure points of oneself is indispensable in order to achieve the absolute quietude and silence of the mind. To experience that which is not of time is only possible while in absence of the ‘I’.

Runic Magic, 1969

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

This internal silence is achieved when the process of thinking is intentionally exhausted during profound inner meditation.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Unusual moments exist in life when our mind rests without worries of any kind, when the mind is calm, when the mind is in silence. Then, the new arrives. In such instants, it is possible to see the bases, the foundations we depend upon. When the mind is in profound interior restfulness, we can verify for ourselves the crude reality of the sand of life, upon which we built our house. (Read Matthew 7, Verses 2429; the parable that talks about the two foundations).

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

It is necessary to put an end to modifications of the thinking system during meditation. When the thinking system remains under our control, illumination comes to us spontaneously.

Introduction to Gnosis

We should experience the Truth in a direct, practical and real manner; this is only possible in the stillness and silence of the mind, and this is achieved by means of meditation.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When the mind is still and in silence, not only on a superficial, intellectual level, but also in each and all of the 49 subconscious departments, then comes the novel, the essence, the consciousness becomes unbottled and the awakening of the soul, ecstasy, and Samadhi come.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

In the Oriental World one speaks with much synthesis. For example, in Zen or Chan Buddhism we are told that we have to reach stillness, silence of the mind with the purpose of one day achieving the irruption of the Illuminating Void; we are told that in Satori there is true happiness. One wants, in the meditation rooms, to achieve the stillness of the mind –inside, outside and in the middle–; we are told that the mind must remain like a wall, absolutely still.

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

We want something more than what can be achieve in a Zen or Chan meditation room, we also want an awakening of the mind –of the mental center–, we want a mind receptive to the in-sights that come from up there, from the heaven of Urania, an enlightened mind.

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

That phrase of Blavatsky, in her wonderful work entitled The Voice of Silence, is formidable, extraordinary. Only thus, –I say– would it be truly possible for the mind to remain still and in silence, inside, outside and in the middle, not for a while or within a meditation room, but continuously.

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

Then, upon reaching those heights, the mind is still and in silence, it is no longer a projecting mind, it is no longer a mind that is offended, it no longer reacts to anything, it receives the messages that come from the superior parts of the Being. It is a mind full of plenitude.

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

But –I repeat– not only the psychic aggregates have to be eliminated, clearly, we also have to eliminate the representations of the mind, both positive and negative ones. We need to clean the temple of the mind of all trash; we need the lamp to bum within the temple of the mind, we need the golden flame to bum with serene light within the ambit of the temple. When the mind is still, when the mind is in silence, the new comes.

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

The temple of the mind, in general, is invaded by multiple positive or negative representations. We are in favor of eliminating such representations so that within the temple of the mind only the Being exists and nothing else but the Being. For that we must have the mind still and in silence, and the mind can only remain still and in silence when we eliminate the Ego. But as we keep eliminating the Ego, the mind will become more and more still and silent, until finally the stillness and total silence is achieved.

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

Looking at things from these angles, from these points of view, we understand more and more the need to control the senses, to subjugate the mind, to free ourselves from the mind, and to learn to live wisely if we truly want to become Buddhas of Contemplation; this is obvious.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

Reflection, then, indicates to us the need to end the process of thinking in order to get to really know. I want you, my dear Salvadoran brothers, to practice meditation more intensively.

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

Stillness and silence, that is what is wanted during meditation, precisely that, because when the mind is still, when the mind is in silence, the new comes.

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

Normally, by “mental silence” is understood when one empties the mind of all kinds of thoughts, when one achieves the stillness and silence of the mind through meditation, etc. But there is another kind of silence. Suppose that a case of critical judgment comes before us in relation to a fellow man, and however, mentally, we remain silent, we do not judge, we do not condemn; we keep quiet both externally and internally. In this case, there is inner silence.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light

It is urgent to eliminate all subjective elements from our representations and perceptions. This is possible by improving the quality of the representations with the technique of meditation, and by regenerating the psychic apparatus with Sexual Magic.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is crystal clear that during the practice of meditation the sinister procession of all the psychological defects that characterize us passes by on the screen of the mind; all our joys and sorrows, countless memories, various impulses that come from the outer world and the inner world, all kinds of desires and passions, old resentments, hatreds, etc.

Fundamental Education, 1970

When we practice meditation, our mind is assaulted by many memories, desires, passions, preoccupations, etc.

Dissolving the I, 1964

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. When we practice meditation, our mind is assaulted by many memories, desires, passions, preoccupations, etc.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Therefore, we need to count on several factors during meditation if we wish to attain the stillness and silence of the mind. We need to study the disorder because it is only in this manner that we can establish order. We need to know what, in us, is attentive, and what, in us, is inattentive.

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, The Mind

During meditation, I repeat, there are two parts, that which is attentive and that which is inattentive. We need to become conscious of what is inattentive in us. Upon becoming conscious, we can evince that the inattentive has many factors: doubt, there are many doubts, many are the doubts which exist in the humand mind. Where do those doubts come from? We see for example atheism, materialism, mysticism; if we tear them apart, we see that there are many forms of atheism, many forms of materialism. There are persons who say that they are materialistic atheists, and yet they fear spells, witchcraft. They respect Nature, but in their own way. When one talks to them about spiritual or religious matters, they declare themselves materialistic atheists; their atheism is nothing more than an incipient form.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Disciple: Master, please excuse me. So, the representations that come to us when we are trying to do a meditation, even very sacred characters for us, what about them?

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

Master: When one is in meditation, usually many representations come to the mind. But if the matter is analyzed, it is discovered that such representations are within the mind, and that they have always been there. What is needed is to free ourselves, in a sense, from the mind. The mind must be clean so that, instead of its representations, the messages that come from the Being can reach us through the superior centers of the Being.

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

That is how we are going to know our Ego, our “I”, our Myself; because everything that comes to our mind when we try to meditate, everything that tries to sabotage the work is our own Ego, our own desires; because our Ego is our thoughts, our desires, our ideas, our cravings, our fears, our hatreds, our envies, our selfishness, our lust, our pride, etc.

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

Therefore, in meditation we are going to see what appears, we are going to see our own Ego, which has a beginning and has an end. It is like a ball of yarn: it has its beginning and it has its end. The Ego is like this, my dear brothers, it has a beginning and it has an end.

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

MEDITATION Intellectual information is not a living experience. Erudition is not experimentation. Essays, tests, demonstrations, which are exclusively three-dimensional, are not uni-total, nor integral.

Runic Magic, 1969

Consequently, ‘MO CHAO’ can be translated as serene reflection or serene observation. However, it is clear to comprehend that in pure Gnosticism, the terms serenity and reflection have much more profound meanings and therefore should be comprehended within special connotations.

Runic Magic, 1969

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

Serene reflection is the clear consciousness within the tranquility of no thought. When the perfect serenity reigns, the true profound Illumination is achieved.

Runic Magic, 1969

Beloved reader, the moment has arrived in order to judiciously weigh and analyze these ten scientific rules of Meditation.

F.- The inconstant people, who are voluble, versatile, changeable, without firmness, without will will never achieve the Ecstasy, the Satori, the Samadhi.

G. - It is obvious that the Scientific Meditation can be practised individually or in an isolated way, as well as in a group of affine people.

In the final instance, it is obvious, evident and clear that the study of oneself, and serene reflection conclude in the quietude and in the silence of the mind.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

MO - CHAO The Chinese word “Mo” means silent or serene; “Chao” means to reflect or to observe. Mo-Chao, therefore, can be translated as serene reflection or serene observation. The difficult, laborious, arduous and painful thing is to achieve absolute mental silence in all the levels of the subconscious.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

A blank mind is something too superficial, empty and intellectual. We need serene reflection if we truly want to achieve the absolute stillness and silence of the mind. However, it is clear to comprehend that in pure Gnosticism, the terms serenity and reflection have much more profound meanings and hence should be comprehended within their special connotations.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Fa Kuang is the Master who instructed Han Shan deeply about the scientific technique of meditation. He taught him also about dissociating from mind, subconscious, and sensory perceptions during meditation. He also taught him that he should keep away from both the holy and the mundane paths of learning.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

This koan, or enigmatic statement, is difficult to comprehend, and after we meditate on it with the earnest goal of experiencing the truth enclosed in each word of the mysterious saying, it is evident that the mind, unable to grasp its significance, is conquered and falls, as if fatally wounded Then it resigns, remaining quiet and silent Master Wu Wen was happy to meet Yung Feng and Yueh Shan, as well as some other brothers, and they all made an agreement to work to achieve illumination.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

To be able to have the mind quiet and in silence, empty of all kinds of thoughts, even when hungry or thirsty, even when bitten by mosquitoes or when people are very noisy nearby: this is very difficult and Wu Wen couldn’t do this. He was able to meditate in quiet but not in the midst of activity, that is to say, with all those inconveniences. “What must I do?” Wu Wen asked Chin. He answered, “Have you never heard what Chung Lao Tze says? If you want to understand this, face south and contemplate Ursa Minor.” Enigmatic words. ..exotic words...mysterious.. difficult to understand, and, most important, no explanation was given. Having said this, Chin left.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

He only understood when the monks who accompanied him in the meditation hall left the area and went to the dining room. Then, Wu Wen continued his meditation in the hall and forgot his dinner. The dinner hour arrived, but he nevertheless continued to meditate. This inadvertent missing of a meal was certainly decisive for Wu Wen because he then understood the significance of meditating in of activity.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Half an hour later, when he returned to his body, he found it bathed in sweat. Then he understood the suggestion of facing the south and seeing Ursa Minor. He learned to face Ursa Minor in meditation, that is to say, to face hunger, disturbances, and all kinds of factors harmful to meditation. From that moment, no noise, mosquito bites, hunger pangs, heat, or cold could prevent his perfect concentration of thought.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Time passed. Wu Wen went to visit Hsianh Yen in the mountains for the summer. He relates that during meditation, mosquitoes bit him terribly, without mercy, but he had learned to confront Ursa Minor (obstacles, inconveniences, hunger, mosquitoes, etc). Then he thought, “If the old ones sacrificed their bodies for the Dharma, why do I fear mosquitoes?”

One given day, after eighteen days and nights of profound interior meditation, Meng Shan sat down in order to drink tea, and then.. .(oh marvel!) he comprehended the intimate sense of a certain gesture of the Buddha showing a flower, and the deep significance of Mahakasyapa with his unforgettable exotic smile.

Runic Magic, 1969

After pronouncing these vows, he submerged himself into a profound meditation while mentally chanting the mantra WU. The sickness was tormenting him, his intestines were frighteningly torturing him, but he resolved not to pay attention to them.

Runic Magic, 1969

Chinese traditions tell us that when Meng Shan entered into meditation, only the Verb, that is to say, the mantra WU (U....U…. ) was resounding in his mind. Afterwards, he lost the notion of himself.

Runic Magic, 1969

Meng Shan went to Chiang Ning in the month of August, and filled with faith he entered the priesthood. He remained one year in that monastery, afterwards he initiated a voya ge in which he was cooking his own food, and washing his own clothes, etc. He then comprehended that the duty of meditation must be tenacious, resistant, strong, firm, constant, without ever getting tired of it.

Runic Magic, 1969

The time he lost during his voyage in the work of meditation was recuperated after one month of intense meditation. But in the interval, his body became filled with horrible blisters. He intentionally ignored them and continued with his esoteric discipline. One given day, it does not manner which one, some people invited him to a delicious supper. While walking on the way there he took his Hua Tou and worked with it. Thus, he submerged himself into profound meditation and passed the door of his host without noticing it. So, he comprehended that he could keep ahead with his esoteric work while being in complete physical activity.

Runic Magic, 1969

The meditation upon this phrase was enough for Meng Shan. When later Wan Shan interrogated him with the same phrase, that is to say, when he repeated to him the same question, the yellow skinned mystic answered by throwing away the mattress of his bed, as if he was saying: I AM ALREADY AWAKENED!

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening

It is unquestionable that the mind will never be able to solve a Zen problem. It is ostensible that our understanding will never be able to comprehend the deep significance of a Koan. By all means it is easy to foresee that when the mind tries to integrally comprehend any Koan, it fails and becomes defeated. Then, the mind remains in a profound stillness and in silence. Thus, when the mind is still, when the mind is in silence, the new arrives. 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…

It is important to know that Japanese Zen is the same Hindustani Dhyana, the Jnana Pali, the Chinese "CH'AN NA" - an extraordinary form of Mahayana Buddhism.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Words He Uses

For this reason Zen Masters put total emphasis on Ecstasy, Samadhi, Satori and concentrate all their efforts to directly leading their disciples or chelas towards it. The Hinayana Tibetan School is different and although its two principle pillars are also "Vision and Action", it is unquestionable that it places special solemnity on the latter and tirelessly struggles to lead its devotees to the Ninth Sphere (Sex).

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

MEDITATION When the Gnostic Doctor submerges himself into meditation, he does it because he looks for information. Meditation covers three facets: 1. CONCENTRATION 2. MEDITATION 3. ADORATION Meditation awakens the internal powers and converts the student into a Magician. Concentration signifies to fix the mind only on one subject matter. Meditation signifies to internally reflect upon the same subject matter. Adoration signifies to converse with the same subject matter or object of our concentration, to live in it, in the subject matter upon which we have fixed the mind.

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

Be demanding with thy Inner Master, he should teach thee the most ineffable things. If thy concentration is intense, then thou shall penetrate in the marvels of the cosmos and will learn things which are impossible to describe with words.

In this lesson of Leo, we taught the disciple to converse with his own internal master, through internal meditation.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Over there, far away, seated under the sparse shadow of a lonely tree like a hermit of times past, I decided to bury all this difficult retinue of useless rationalism... With a blank mind, starting from radical zero, sunk in deep meditation, I searched inside myself for the Secret Master....

The Three Mountains, 1972

Obviously I was searching for the Intimate, I adored it in the secret of the meditation, worshipping him...

The Three Mountains, 1972

In this way I approached the Intimate by the secret path of internal deep meditation. Now I speak because...

The Three Mountains, 1972

While in meditation we can visit the Heart-Temples of the stars, because through meditation we can achieve being completely within the Intimate. In other words, we can completely become the Superior ‘I’, who is the Magic ‘I’.

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

Contemplation Whoever learns to quiet the mind, to concentrate the mind and pray can practice perfect meditation and reach the heights of internal contemplation. On reaching these heights we are in ecstasy. We can talk face to face with the ineffable gods, study the marvels of the infinite cosmos and travel through the infinite in spirit and soul. In that state of ecstasy the physical body remains asleep and abandoned. Now you will comprehend why it is convenient to practice these exercises during instances of drowsiness. Sleep is a power that should be taken advantage of to consciously achieve ecstasy.

Introduction to Gnosis also in The Keys of Astral Travel

5. It is urgent for our Gnostic disciples to learn how to function without any type of material vehicles so that they can perceive all the marvels of the universe with the eye of Dagma. 6. This is how our disciples will convert themselves into Masters of Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

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

This exercise is the most profound meditation and Prayer.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Really, it is necessary to learn how to pray scientifically; the one who learns to intelligently combine Prayer with Meditation, will obtain marvelous Objective results. But it is urgent to comprehend that there are different Prayers and that their results are different.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

There are very ancient Prayers which are authentic Recapitulations of Cosmic events and we can experience their entire content if we meditate on each word, on each phrase, with true conscious devotion.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Our Father is a prayer of petition, a prayer to converse with the Father who is in secrecy. The Our Father combined with deep Meditation produces Marvelous Objective results.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

The one who wishes to tread the Path of the Tranquil Heart, should concentrate the Prana, Life and the Sexual Energy in the cerebrum and the mind in the Heart.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A single Our Father well prayed and wisely combined with Meditation, is an entire Work of High Magic.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Heart-Temple is house of Prayer. Found in the heart-temple are the energies which come from above, with the energies which come from below, forming Solomon’s seal. It is necessary to pray and Meditate profoundly. It is urgent to know how to relax the physical body in order for Meditation to be correct.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

The “Our Father” is the most perfect prayer. The “Our Father” with its seven esoteric petitions is one of the magic prayers. Each petition must be meditated upon.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

With great pleasure I will respond to your question. Now you see what meditation and prayer are. If a person of good will devotes himself to prayer and meditation, he can have the happiness of arriving at ecstasy. Then the soul leaves the body, as we have already explained many times, and travels to any remote place on the Earth or in the Infinite.

Beyond Death also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Some aspirants take the first step, but they lack the strength to take the second one. Such people can and should help themselves by means of the technique of meditation.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

These mantrams have the power to transmute our sexual energy into light and fire, within the alchemical laboratory of the human organism. This prayer with its corresponding mantrams can be used during Sexual Magic. This prayer with its mantrams is an omnipotent key for meditation on our Divine Mother.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Lust

Unmarried men and unmarried women can transmute and sublimate their sexual energies with this supplication and these mantrams, taking the sexual energies to the heart. It is urgent to sublimate the sexual energies to the heart. Know that in the Heart Temple, the creative energies blend with the forces of the Christ and are elevated to the superior worlds. The Inner Christ lives in the Heart Temple. The Cross of Initiation is received in the Heart Temple. This mantric prayer is also a formula of priestly power that the Magician uses in his practices of internal meditation in order to arrive at the feet of his Divine Mother. If meditation is perfect, your adorable Mother will listen to your call and come to you. You will then be able to speak with her about the ineffable things of paradise. She is Devi Kundalini. She is the Papess of the Tarot. The Divine Mother always listens to her devotees. In the sacred land of the Vedas, the Enlightened Ramakrishna was one of the greatest devotees of the Divine Mother.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Lust

Do you want to reach the heights of Nirvikalpasamadhi? Do you want to develop Anubhaya (perception of you Inner God during meditation)? Do you want to know Jinn Science? Remember that you have an adorable Mother. “Ask and you shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you.”

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Thus, in front of the mirror there is a very serious danger, and it is that we see in the glass our own mental projections. That is the great danger. But if we do the correct practice, we need to open the chakra of the heart with the mantras OM HUM and immerse ourselves in the heart, in the cave of the heart, invoking our Divine Mother Kundalini. When she appears –she has to appear– during meditation, when she will really appear, how do we know that she has appeared and that it is not a simple projection of the mind? Simply, she does not look like anything that the mind has conceived, it is something that only the one who is working perceives, experiences –for, really, no one could experience for another–, and what one sees –the Divine Mother as she is– does not look like anything that the mind has conceived. That is why one knows that it is not a projection of the mind.

The Fifth Gospel Satanic Origins of Skepticism and Mythomania Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

And once she appears in the heart, and once we have seen her, once we have experienced her in all the presence of our Being, in an integral way, we can afford the luxury of looking in the mirror. And even like that, with the mind still and in silence; with a mind that does not project; with a mind that has exhausted the process of thinking; with a non-projecting mind, and the result will be wonderful.

The Fifth Gospel Satanic Origins of Skepticism and Mythomania Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

So, then, the way AMORC teaches the practice is wrong; part of self-sufficiency, of the belief that one – a poor fool and miserable as one is– is capable of performing wonders, when one is not capable. One has to have faith, to start by being humble and to recognize that we are capable of nothing. That we are poor fools. If the Divine Mother appears here, after having opened the chakra well and after meditation, if she appears in meditation, she appears if she wants to appear, and if she does not want to appear, then she does not appear. If she considers that it is not appropriate for us to know our past lives at that instant, at least at that moment, well, simply, she does not appear, and it is useless then to insist in front of the mirror.

The Fifth Gospel Satanic Origins of Skepticism and Mythomania Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Pride

The Gnostic who learns to combine meditation with prayer, can undoubtedly make contact — consciously and objectively — with the gods of Nature.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

He who meditates on the sign of the Infinite utilizes fire and water to awaken consciousness. Now we will understand why the two witnesses of the Apocalypse have the power of prophesy: “Then I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand and two hundred and three score days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Rev. 11:3)

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

This process of birth and death is marvelous. By meditating on the whole process of the birth and death of a plant, by meditating on its marvelous life, if the concentration is perfect and a profound level of drowsiness is achieved, then the chakras of the Astral Body will spin, develop, and unfold.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Meditation must be correct. The mind must be exact. Logical thought and exact concept is needed for the purpose of developing the internal senses absolutely perfectly. Every incoherence, every lack of logical and moral equilibrium obstructs and damages the evolution and progress of the chakras, disks, or lotus flowers of the Astral Body.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Clairvoyance

On any given day, the plant on which he was meditating disappears. Then, a beautiful child who replaces the plant is seen. That child is the elemental of the plant, the soul of the plant.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Elemental Magic

Exact meditation awakens the internal senses and performs a complete transformation of the internal bodies.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Suddenly, I resolved to put order into my mind and to concentrate my attention exclusively on one of them.

Runic Magic, 1969

Afterwards, I passed into meditation and finally Ecstasy, Samadhi, or that which in Zen Buddhism is denominated Satori came unto me.

Runic Magic, 1969

For the wise, to imagine is to see. Imagination is the translucence of the Soul. The important thing is to learn to concentrate thought in one single thing. He who learns to concentrate thought upon one single thing does marvels and prodigies.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

All incoherence, all lack of logic and of mortal equilibrium obstructs and damages the evolution and progress of the chakras, disks, or lotus flowers of the Astral Body. The student needs much patience, will, tenacit and absolute conscious faith. One day, in the midst of sleep a distant image will arise during the meditation, a vista of nature, a face, etc. This is the signal that one is progressing. Little by little the student elevates his imaginative knowledge. Little by little, the student will draw back the Veil of Isis. One day the plant upon which one is meditating will disappear to be replaced by a beautiful child. That child is the el emental of the plant, the Soul of the plant.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Meditation which is exact awakens the internal senses and produces a total transformation of the internal bodies. He who awakens conscious ness has attained imaginative knowledge. He moves in the world of sym bolic images.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Do not be dependent upon another’s ideas or concepts, because within yourself, is wisdom. Meditation must be correct. The mind must be exact. One needs logical thought and exact concept so that the internal senses develop absolutely perfectly.

For the Few, 1980

When the Gnostic medic meditates, focusing on a tree, he is searching for information from the Elemental of that tree. He wants to know what this tree serves for, what properties it possesses, etc.

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

This medicinal procedure through interior profound meditation develops the disciple’s own imagination. Thus, he will become an illuminated clairvoyant. He will direct his internal sight towards the most far away boundaries of the earth and will become a ruler of creation in its entirety. He will know the wisdom of each herb and thus he will unleash the tempests. He will transmute lead into gold and will make the earth tremble.

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

In the first case, we have the knowledge that we are sitting on them, but observing them is something different. In the first case, there is knowledge, but not observation. Observation requires special concentration: observe what they are made of, and then I must enter into meditation, to discover their atoms and their molecules. This already requires directed attention. To know that one is sitting on a chair is non-directed attention, passive attention; but observing the chair would already be directed attention.

The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light

Once, during meditation, something new, something different from the rose emerges in our imagination, it is an evident sign that we are already progressing. At the beginning, the images lack color, but as we work, they will become marked by more and more charm and color. That is how we will progress in profound inner development. A more advanced step in this matter would take us to the remembering of our life and of our previous lives.

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

If we try to perceive a tree with our imagination, if we meditate on it, we will see that it is made up of a multitude of small celluloses, we will perceive its physiology, its roots, its fruits, but we will also be able to go a little deeper and see the intimate life of the tree directly. There is no doubt that it possesses that which we could call Essence or soul.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Let us imagine for a moment, again, the exercise of the rose bush. If, after everything, if we want to know something more after meditating on its birth and death –the logs and the petals of the flower having disappeared– we need inspiration. The plant was born, it bore fruit, it died, and after all that, what? Then, we need inspiration to know what is the meaning of that birth and of that death of all things.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The faculty of inspiration is even more transcendental and needs us to spend more energy. We have to put aside the symbol on which we have meditated, we have to capture its inner meaning. This matter requires the faculty of emotion, the emotional center. The emotional center valorizes the esoteric work of meditation. The emotional center allows us to feel inspired, and then, once inspired, we will know the meaning of the birth and death of all things. With imagination, we could verify the reality of the previous existence; with inspiration, we could capture the meaning of that existence, its motive, its cause, its reason. Inspiration is a step beyond the faculty of creative imagination. With imagination, we can verify the reality of the fourth vertical, but inspiration will allow us to capture its deep meaning.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The mantram OM has the power to awaken the frontal and cardiac chakras, clairvoyance and intuition. By meditating on the OM, we arrive at enlightenment. Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition are the three obligatory paths of initiation. We warn that the illuminated ones who go around talking about their esoteric affairs to others, become profaners of the temple. Those types of Gnostics should be severely admonished by the instructors.

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

I have understood that this mantra opens the Eye of Dangma. This profound mantra will one day lead you to experience the Illuminating Void in the absence of the Ego. Then, you will know what the Sunyata is; then you will understand what the Prajna-Paramita is. Perseverance is what is needed. With this mantra you will be able to get very far.

The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Everyone who works in the Magistery of Fire must learn how to meditate on the seven churches.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The church of Ephesus is a mystical lotus flower. This flower has four petals and anyone who profoundly meditates on the church of Ephesus penetrates into the subterranean regions of the earth. Then, the gnomes or pygmies teach us their mysteries. The Tattwa Prittwi shines with glory within the church of Ephesus.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Elemental Magic

We can walk upon fire without being burned when we meditate on this chakra.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

When we meditate on this chakra we penetrate into Eden. There, we find human beings still naked. Only we, the brothers and sisters of the Temple, are dressed with the vesture of fire.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The power to govern over fire is granted unto us when we internally meditate on this precious lotus of the belly.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The church of Thyatira is opened when the serpentine fire reaches the height of the heart. Internal meditation and internal prayer develops and unfolds the chakra of the tranquil heart.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Words He Uses

You will hear the ten mystical sounds when you meditate internally in the lotus of the heart.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We control the Tattwa Vayu when we meditate on the lotus of the heart, and the power of winds and hurricanes is given to us.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Elemental Magic

The hidden and terrific powers of this chakra will awaken through meditating in it.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The frontal chakra develops with internal meditation.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Clairvoyance

The resplendent lotus of one thousand petals develops and unfolds with internal meditation.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosoever reaches this height is a liberated one, a Lord of the living and of the dead. Everyone who walks on the path of christification must develop these eight powers. These powers of the heavenly Jerusalem are conquered with internal meditation, with the condition of absolute chastity.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust

You will develop the eight great mystical powers with internal meditation, and then you will become a living model of the future heavenly Jerusalem.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The Oriental concentrates mentally and meditates on the ten mystic sounds. The Oriental mind absorbs itself in the ten mystic sounds. Hence, the yogi’s “Nissus Formativus” or the Astral Body of the medieval doctors (within which there are all the psychic and spiritual principles of the human being), leaves the physical body in ecstasy within the ten mystic sounds of the heart. This is the Samadhi of the Hindustani yogis. Thus, this is how the yogi transports himself to the most distant worlds of the Infinite. Instead of laughing and criticizing these matters that they have neither studied nor experimented, the occidental scientists should study the yoga.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

The Hindustani yogis develop this chakra of the navel with concentration and meditation. They concentrate full hours on the navel. When certain occidental hypnotists traveled through those lands of Hindustan, Pakistan, the Great Tartare, Mongolia, China and Tibet and witnessed these oriental sects and saw this meditation on the navel, they believed it to be self-hypnosis. Actually it is quite the opposite. In truth, they put themselves through all these meditations and concentrations for hours in order to develop this chakra around the region of the navel.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Many occultist students want internal illumination and suffer horribly because, in spite of many years of study and esoteric practices they remain as blind and unconscious as when they began to read the first books. We, the Brothers of the Temple know through our own experience, that the cardiac chakra is definitive for internal illumination. The Shiva Samhitä, a great Hindustani book, speaks at great length about the benefits obtained by the yogi on meditating on the chakra of the tranquil heart: “The yogi acquires immense knowledge, knows the past, the present and the future; he has clairaudience and clairvoyance and can go through the air wherever he pleases. He sees the Adepts and the yogini Goddesses; he obtains the faculty called khecari (to move through the air) and bhüchari (to go at will to all corners of the world).”

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

Its mantra is Sssssssss. One becomes an absolute boss of the air and can dissipate the hurricanes and govern the winds by will when one learns how to meditate on this center.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

When one practices meditation on this chakra, one can even sustain the physical body during the cosmic night.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

Whosoever meditates in this center can know the most elevated esotericism of all of the sacred books and can reach the grandiose state of Trikala-Jñana, in other words, someone who can know the past, present, and future.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

The one who learns how to meditate in the chakra Ajna acquires the eight major powers and the thirty-two minor powers.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

263. Every human being can remember his past lives by means of a retrospective exercise.

Igneous Rose, 1954

269. This exercise of profound, internal and delicate retrospection permits us to remember all our past lives.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

101. The clue to remembering our past lives is in the retrospective exercise.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954 also in Manual of Practical Magic, The Keys of Astral Travel

This type of meditation and the sacred syllables will awaken the infantile atoms of clairvoyance. Then you will elevate yourself into imaginative knowledge. You will learn to think with living images.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

“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 most powerful exercise in the world to develop clairvoyance is the so called “Retrospective Exercise” in Occultism.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Clairvoyance

The Retrospective Exercise permits us to become conscious of our own Lunar Ego, of our own errors. Let us remember that the Ego is a bunch of memories, desires, passions, anger, covetousness, lust, pride, laziness, gluttony, self-esteem, resentments, vengeances, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Anger, Gluttony, Greed, Resentment & Generosity, Seventy Times Seven

The objective of this Retrospective Exercise of our own life, is to auto-know, autodiscover ourselves, to recognize our good and evil actions, to study our own Lunar Ego, to make Conscious the Subconscious.

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

After about five years, we have the luxury of using the retrospective system to apply it to both our present life and our past lives. Then we will see with great astonishment that again and again we make the same mistake. We will discover a key “I” that in every existence has always made the worst mistakes, that is always specified by a certain crime, and that has been the axis of all our previous existences.

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

But, obviously, in order to practice this retrospective exercise with certain lucidity, one has to have eliminated first many “I’s”. In no way could I believe that the fundamental psychological trait could be discovered if one has not intelligently used the retrospective system. But to truly use it lucidly, we also need to be sincere. When the Consciousness is too trapped within the “I’s”, there is no lucidity. Then, the retrospective exercise in those conditions turns out to be incipient, if not fantastic or wrong. That is, then, my concept. Let us see, brother, you speak.

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

Thus, we would have acquired faith in the retrospective exercise. This procedure, taught by Gautama Buddha Shakyamuni, allows us to remember all our previous existences; it is a wonderful exercise.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

Any defect must first be analysed intellectually and then studied with meditation. Many of the individuals who reached absolute perfect chastity and holiness in the physical world were frightful sinners and fornicators when they were tested in the higher worlds. Although they had finished with their shortcomings in the physical world, at other levels of the mind they were still sinners. Only with intellectual analysis and deep meditation do we fully understand our shortcomings in all the levels of the mind. When a defect is fully understood in all the levels of the mind, it weakens its corresponding ego, i.e. the death of a small defect weakens the fatal ego it stems from and creates in its place something new: a virtue, a power of the soul, a truth, and so on. It is urgent to die from instant to instant. With the death of the ‘I’ the soul is born. We need the complete death of the pluralised ‘I’.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The ego is only dissolved by comprehending our errors profoundly in all the levels of the mind. Only on the basis of creative comprehension can we achieve the mystical death. The mind must pass through a supreme death and through a supreme birth. It is necessary for the ego to die. It is urgent for the mental body to be born.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

To intellectually comprehend the discovered defect is not enough. It is necessary to submerge ourselves into profound internal meditation in order to comprehend the defect in other levels of our mind. The mind has many levels and profundities. If we have not comprehended a defect in all the levels of the mind then we have done nothing, because the defect continues existing as a tempting demon in the bottom of our own subconsciousness. When a defect is integrally comprehended in all the levels of the mind, then it is disintegrated along with the small ‘I’ that characterises it. Thus, the defect is reduced to cosmic dust in the suprasensible worlds. This is how we die from moment to moment. This is how we establish a permanent centre of consciousness, a permanent centre of gravity within ourselves.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The Gnostic students should learn to explore the subconscious by means of meditation. It is not enough to comprehend a defect intellectually, it is necessary to study the subconscious. Many times any defect can disappear from the superficial level of the intellect, but it continues existing in the different subconscious fields of the mind.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Only with the mind still and silent, submerged in profound interior meditation, are we able to extract out from the sepulcher of the subconscious memory, all of the millenary rottenness that we carry within, from ancient times.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Each hidden defect smells nasty within the filthy grave of the subconscious, but by seeing it, it ends up being easy to burn it and reduce it to ashes. In this way, we are dying from moment to moment. It is necessary to take out from the sepulcher of the memory, all of the subconscious rottenness. Only with mental stillness and silence can we extract out from the black subconscious tomb all of the rottenness of the past, in order to reduce it to ashes with the marvelous fire of profound comprehension.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The mind has many subconscious levels, regions, or departments, which we should know completely through observation, analysis, deep meditation and profound intimate comprehension.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Any defect can disappear from the intellectual region and continue to exist in other unconscious levels of the mind.

Fundamental Education, 1970

If we fight against the vice of drinking, this vice will disappear for a while, but since we have not profoundly comprehended it in all the levels of the mind it will return later when we let our guard down, and we will drink a year’s worth all at once.

Fundamental Education, 1970

We must understand what these psychological defects are, and how they function in us, not only on the intellectual level of life, but also in other hidden and unknown levels of the subconscious.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Such integral knowledge comes to give us a type of omniscience, a form of conscious, objective manifestation. Deep comprehension at all levels of the mind is only possible by virtue of profound introspective meditation.

Fundamental Education, 1970

It is necessary to study, to investigate and analyze, but we must meditate profoundly in order to understand in all levels of the mind.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The complicated man has a memory that is full of experiences. This demonstrates his lack of creative comprehension, because when experiences are entirely comprehended in all levels of the mind they cease to exist as experiences and blossom as comprehension.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Only in understanding the sensations do we kill desire. Only by annthilating desire can the mind be liberated, which is normally found trapped within the confines of desire. Liberating the mind produces the Awakening of Consciousness. If we want to put an end to the causes of desire we need to live in a state of constant vigilance. It is urgent to live in a state of alert perception, alert newness. The “I” is a great book, a book of many volumes. Only by means of the technique of internal meditation can we study that book.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Awakening, Desire and Will, The Mind

In depth comprehension is impossible without the practice of meditation.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

In the meantime I devoted myself exclusively to deep interior meditation... Objective: to dissolve the psychological I, the Myself, the Oneself, which is certainly a node in the cosmic energy, a link we must reduce to a cosmic dust cloud.

The Three Mountains, 1972

It seemed to me fundamental to understand in a complete way each one of my psychological defects, but I wanted to go a bit further in the meditation path.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Answer: Friends, friends, I invite you to comprehend what the work of the dissolution of the ego is. Undoubtedly upon submerging ourselves through meditation into our own atomic inferno8 with the purpose of comprehending this or that psychological defect, it is unquestionable that we will put ourselves in contact with this or that natural infradimension.

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

Any spark of consciousness can illuminate us immediately and in millionths of a second really capture the deep meaning of a comprehended defect. Elimination is different; someone can have comprehended some psychological error and even have penetrated in its deep meaning, and, however, still continue with it in the different departments of the mind.

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

We also said in past lectures that it is necessary to have first comp rehended the defect that we want to extirpate from our nature; it is ostensible that only through the technique of meditation can we comprehend any error in an integral manner.

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

Any psychological defect must be previously understood by way of the technique of meditation, before proceeding to its elimination. The extirpation, eradication or elimination of any undesirable element, is only possible by invoking Tonantzin’s (Divine Mother Kundalini) aid, a variation of our own being, or particular fohat of each of us. This is how we die from moment to moment. Only death brings forth what is new.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

He who cannot meditate, he who is superficial, the ignorant, will never be able to dissolve the Ego; he will always be impotent driftwood in the tumultuous sea of life. A defect that has been discovered in the field of practical life must be deeply comprehended by means of the technique of meditation.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

The annihilation of the psychic aggregates can be made possible only by radically comprehending our errors through meditation and by the evident self-reflection of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It is urgent to know how to meditate, in order to comprehend any psychic aggregate, or in other words, any psychological defect.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

A great deal of analysis, reflection, and above all, meditation and evident self-reflection of the Being are ind ispensable for comprehension. Any psychological defect discovered through the self-psychological observation must be previously comprehended in all the levels of the mind, before proceeding to its disintegration.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each self-observed defect must be previously comprehended through meditation, before proceeding with its elimination.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Identification

Constantly we listen to complaints from many students who suffer because while the physical body is sleeping, they live unconscious in the superior worlds. Some of them have done many esoteric practices to achieve astral unfoldment and have not succeeded. When we examine the lives of such complainers, we discover within them the Fool of the Tarot. Those people are full of desires; it is only by understanding sensations that we kill desire. It is only by annihilating desire that the mind is liberated; the mind that normally is embottled in the bottle of desire. Liberating the mind produces the awakening of consciousness. The Fool of the Tarot is the Psychological “I”, the “self”, the reincarnating “Ego”. If we want to put an end to the causes of desire, we must begin to live in a state of constant vigilance. It is urgent to live in the state of alert perception, alert novelty. The “I” is a great book, a book of many volumes. It is only by means of the method of Internal Meditation that we can study that book.

The ‘I’’ was neither created by God nor by the Spirit nor by Matter. The ‘I’ was created by our own mind and will cease to exist when we have comprehended it totally in all the levels of the mind. It is only through upright action, upright meditation, upright will, upright means of earning a living, upright effort and upright memory that we can dissolve the ‘I’. It is urgent to comprehend in depth all of this if we really want the Revolution of the Dialectic.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Every defect should first be intellectually analyzed and then studied with meditation. Many individuals attained perfect chastity in the physical world, but ended up being great fornicators and frightening sinners when they were subjected to the test in the superior worlds. They had put an end to their defects in the physical world, but in other levels of the mind, they continued with their loose cathexis. When a defect is totally comprehended in all the levels of the mind, its corresponding loose cathexis disintegrates, in other words, a small I dies.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

It is only with a still and silent mind, submerged in deep meditation, that we will be able to extract from within the sepulcher of the subconscious all the secret rottenness which we carry within. it is nothing pleasant to see the dark sepulcher with all the bones and rottenness of the past.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Upon the pure waters of the ocean of the Universal Mind we can contemplate in a state of ecstasy all the deviltries of the pluralized ‘I’.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Master: It is urgent and unpostponable to analyze and annihilate the Ego in a voluntary and conscious way. In dealing with people, the hidden defects surface spontaneously, and if we are in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, we see them as they are in themselves. A discovered defect must be subjected to analysis, to meditation, with the purpose of comprehending it. It is not enough to understand the defect, it is necessary to grasp its deep meaning. Any flash of Consciousness can enlighten us and grasp, in thousandths of a second, the deep meaning of the defect.

The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students 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

When one wants to eliminate a defect, an error, a psychic aggregate, one must first comprehend it. But it is not enough to only comprehend, it is necessary to go deeper, to the depths: it is necessary to capture the deep meaning of what one has comprehended. One can only achieve such a capture through profound, very intimate, profound meditation. The one who has captured the deep meaning of what he has comprehended, is in a position to eliminate it.

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

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. Once we have become conscious of a certain defect, of the defect trapped here, inside this “I” of my example, then the Divine Mother can afford to eliminate it, throw the shell to the precipice –it is an empty shell that is no longer worth anything–. The hardest part is in making ourselves conscious of our own mistakes. Apparently, it is easy, but deep down how difficult, how hard it is!

The Fifth Gospel Beyond the Mind Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1974

Master: Well, only through profound reflection and in-depth meditation; otherwise, it would not be possible. In any case, one has to search the differential mean for a mathematical comprehension of any psychological defect to exist. If we add, for example, 20 plus 20, it would give us 40, would it not? 20 is one quantity; 40 is the result of the sum of 20 plus 20; it would be another quantity. There exists a differential mean between these two quantities which would undoubtedly be 20. Because if we divide 40 by 2, it gives us 20, which is a differential mean. Well, 20 plus 20 is 40 and the differential mean is 20.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

What do I want to say with this? Simply that there must be a full union of the Being with knowing. And when I say “knowing”, it is about some defect of a psychological type, let us suppose it is adultery. We could not know if we do not enter into in-depth meditation. It is obvious that if we manage to become conscious of the defect in itself, the Being and the knowing will have been united. Good, and from the result of the union of the Being with knowing, the differential mean results, that is, the exact mathematical quantity: the person has attained comprehension.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

A discovered defect must be analyzed, totally comprehended through deep inner meditation. When one has understood that one has this or that defect of a psychological type, obviously, he must disintegrate it. It is possible to disintegrate it if we appeal to a force that is superior to the mind.

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

Master: Well, I am going to repeat it again. I say “I am going to repeat it” because I have already fully explained it. In synthesis, obviously, we have to start with what I have already said: the psychological self-observation. If one discovers in the terrain of practical life, whether in relation to relatives, whether in relation to friends, at work, on the street, etc., that he has such or such defect, he must then comprehend it, and it is only possible to fully comprehend it through substantive meditation, through self-analysis, through self-reflection.

Many are those who discipline themselves against anger, who learn how to resist it, but the anger continues to exist in other levels of the subconscious mind (even though on the outside the anger has disappeared from our character), and if we let down our guard in the slightest, the subconscious betrays us, and then when we least expect it and perhaps for some unimportant reason we storm and thunder full of anger.

Many lazy people covet the virtue of activity, but don’t want to perceive that the birth of diligence requires comprehension of the processes of laziness in all levels of the mind.

Great anchorites and saintly hermits discovered with horror that the Fool of the Tarot continued to exist in other deeper levels of the mind. Truly it is only by comprehending sensations in all the recesses of the mind that we can annihilate desire and kill the Fool of the Tarot, which hides in all the mind’s deep hidden recesses.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Desire and Will

When a man perceives the beautiful figure of a woman and makes the mistake of translating that perception into the language of his sexual desires, the result then is sexual desire. Even though he later forgets about it, this desire continues to exist in other unconscious levels of the mind. This is how the “Ego” fornicates incessantly in the internal worlds. It is urgent to learn how to see without “translating”, without judging. It is indispensable to see and to hear, to feel, to taste, to smell and to touch with creative comprehension; only thus can we annihilate the causes of desire. Truly, the tree of desire has roots that we must study and profoundly comprehend.

It is not by isolating ourselves from our fellowman that we can discover our defects. We discover ourselves only in co-existence; in co-existence we can surprise our defects because they surface in our human personality and leap out.

When we discover a defect, we must first analyze it intellectually and then comprehend it in the many hidden recesses of the mind with the technique of meditation.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Master: In order to eliminate the “I’s”, the first thing that one has to do is to discover them. If one does not discover a certain “I” or any “I” at any given moment, how could he eliminate it then? First, one has to discover it, and one could not discover it if he does not self-observe. It is necessary to see oneself in action. Only by seeing oneself in action does one come to discover that he has this or that “I”. Once discovered, one can have the luxury of comprehending it profoundly by means of analysis and the evident self-reflection of the Being; this is meditation.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone

First of all, as I said, when one enters the vertical path, when one admits that he has a psychology, he begins to self-observe. When one discovers that he has the “I” of anger, he must work on it. At the beginning, he only limits himself to observing it, and then comprehending it through analysis, through deep meditation, through direct studies.

So, there are the “I” of attachment and the “I” of fear; these “I’s” cause anguish. If meditation comes and pain is sacrificed, if one understands that money is transient, that material things are vain and illusory; if one becomes conscious of that truth, if that truth does not remain simply in the intellect, but remains in the Consciousness; if one reaches the understanding that he was attached to his wallet and money; if one reaches the understanding that he is afraid of finding himself without money before the problems of life, then he naturally sets out to put an end to these two “I’s”: that of fear and that of attachment.

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

In the protest there were words that were, not of a grotesque type, but quite ungrateful. I did not feel anger, due to the fact that I had dissolved it; but some pain in the heart, yes. I immediately devoted myself to meditation to know what this pain which I had felt in my heart consisted of, and I could clearly verify the crude realism of an “I” of self-love which had been wounded.

Master: It was not given enough importance at all, we need to be more profound! The water that flows murkily is shallow water; we need deep water. Shallow puddles on the side of the road dry up in the sunlight, and become rotting swamps filled with insects. But deep waters, where fish live and there is life, are different. We need to be more profound. How many hours did you stay in meditation reconstructing the scene?

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 Anger

[Laughter] Disciple: Master, you have taught us that we must have an order and a precision in the elimination of defects. But during the day, many defects manifest, there is a succession of events and a manifestation of defects. How could we understand that and, exactly, what could we work on, Master?

In the forty-nine levels of the human subconscious live the small I’s that together constitute what we call “ego,” “I,” “me,” “myself,” etc. The atomic material is different in each of the forty-nine subconscious levels of the human being. The psychological state is distinct in each of the forty-nine regions or levels of the human subconscious.

The various entities and I’s which inhabit the forty-nine regions corresponding to the forty-nine subjective states of opium, are accustomed to committing crimes which horrify, even when the initiate is a total saint in the physical world.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Many initiates are victorious in thirty or forty regions when under going trials concerning this or that defect, but in the remaining subconscious regions, they fail lamentably. Clearly, as long as those submerged, subconscious entities continue to exist in the fortynine subconscious regions, our defects continue to exist. We must comprehend each defect, not only on the intellectual level, but also in each of the forty-nine subconscious departments of the mind.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Our most serious problem arises when, in spite of having comprehended the defect in all forty-nine subconscious levels of the mind, we fail when subjected to the trials. The failed trial indicates to us that we still have a defect that we need to annihilate. It is clear that if the “I” that personifies that defect we wish to disintegrate continues to exist in any of the subconscious regions, the result is failure in all tests.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

All those bottles of Anger, all those I’s, live in each of the forty-nine departments or regions of the subconscious. The comprehension of Anger in any subconscious department means to break a bottle; then, the corresponding fraction of the Essence becomes free.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Dante stated that Purgatory has seven regions. However, if we multiply seven by seven, then we will have the Kabbalistic number Forty Nine. These are the forty nine regions of the Sub consciousness. The forty nine Stables of Augias. It is a bitter and difficult task to eliminate the Luciferic Fire in each and every one of the forty nine regions of the Sub-consciousness. Whosoever performs this work has to weep tears of blood.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

The Illumination comes to us when we dissolve the pluralized ‘I’, when we truly have died in all the forty-nine regions of the subconsciousness.

Runic Magic, 1969

Answer: Friends, brothers, it is indispensable, it is urgent and undelayable to know that lust processes itself in the 49 regions of the subconscious. Many saints who arrived at supreme chastity in the merely intellective level, failed when they were subjected to tests in the more profound regions of the subconscious.

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

Question: Some of your books Master, explain that to be able to awaken consciousness one has to dissect with the intellect, the “I” or psychological defect that one wants to eliminate and that this is done in the 49 departments of the subconscious; but if we do not have an awakened consciousness as yet, how can we penetrate, with the intellect, into those 49 regions? Would you like to explain this to us? Answer: Friends, it would not be possible to be able to radically disintegrate the ego in an instantaneous manner and simultaneously in all the 49 subconscious regions.

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

Naturally, the elimination of those aggregates is carried out in a progressive manner, since many of them are processed in the 49 levels of the subconscious.

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

This means that any psychological defect is represented by thousands of psychic aggregates that are born and develop in the 49 subconscious levels of the mind.

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

Someone could not be a thief in the merely rational level and even in the 48th subconscious level; however, be could be one in the 49th level. In this manner, the defects are multifaceted and very holy persons can be frighteningly perverse in the deepest levels of the subconscious.

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

The Grace of Christ saves us. However, we must eliminate, coat by coat, the multiple defects of a psychological type. Obviously, each defect has multiple psychic aggregates that process the mselves in the seven and in the forty-nine levels of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The psychological defects are in the 49 levels of the subconscious.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

We cannot recognize or find the I’s or Egos of the 49 subconscious levels, since each of them has parts in our different bodies. For that, we should appeal to a force that is superior to the mind to disintegrate them with its serpentine fire, the latter being our Divine Mother Kundalini.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Only the Mother Kundalini of the Hindu mysteries knows the 49 levels of the subconsciousness.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The mind, intellect, reason, all the more subjective forms with which the human being works, can never reach the profound levels of the subconscious where the Ego continuously develops its films which put our consciousness to sleep. Only the Kundalini, with its sexual fire, can reach those 49 levels to definitely disintegrate that which causes us pain, that which has us in misery, that which people painfully love, that which materialistic psychology has wanted to deify, that which is called Ego and which the Revolution of the Dialectic wants to destroy in order to achieve integral Revolution.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Mind

In the 49 levels of the subconscious, there is a great quantity of files with powerful information, but, unfortunately, they are in disorder and anarchy.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The Creative Energy, transmuted or sublimated during sexual magic —without the ejaculation of the entity of the semen—, opens the 49 levels of the subconscious, causing all the I which we have hidden, to come out of them. These psyc hic aggregates emerge in the form of drama, comedy, movie, and through symbols and parables.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

To those who complain of not having achieved enlightenment, I advise patience and serenity. Enlightenment comes to us when we dissolve the pluralized ‘I’, when we have truly died in the 49 levels of the subconscious.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Any error is multifaceted and is processed in the forty-nine regions of the mind. Psychological gymnasium is indispensable, and this is life. In human interrelation, in coexistence with our fellow men, there are infinite possibilities for self-discovery, however it is obvious that self-vigilance must always be done from moment to moment.

The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students also in Awakening

Master: Well, you are asking a very difficult question to answer. I want that those present here answer me in turn the following: which one of you is prepared to count the forty-nine regions and study them carefully? If there is one, I would like to meet him. Let’s see. Who? Honestly, could any of you know each one of the forty-nine regions and talk about them? You see, no one! As one progresses in the work, one will discover those regions. Before, it is like “counting your chicken before they hatch”, or like “wanting to milk the cow without having bought it”. Any other question, brothers?

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977

If the initiate is meditating, trying to understand, for example, the defect of lust in order to eliminate it, he can be doing the opposite, fornicating and committing adultery, in the internal worlds. This kind of entity acts in the submerged, subconscious regions in an independent manner, far from our reason and will; however, they are not foreign or strange entities, but are “myself,” “oneself.”

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

During meditation, the pluralized I always does the opposite [what we do]. It enjoys fornicating when we try to comprehend lust; it creates thunder and lightning in any of the forty-nine subconscious levels of Yaldabaoth when we try to comprehend anger, it covets not being covetous when we wish to reduce covetousness to dust. Inner self-remembering is the complete awareness of the entire subconscious processes in oneself, of the ego, of the pluralized “I”

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Greed, Identification, Lust

The meditation on each error was enough for the comprehension. Although, I could clearly evidence that there are many degrees and degrees in relation with understanding.

Runic Magic, 1969

To eliminate it is another thing. Anyone can comprehend a given defect, yet in spite of this cannot achieve its extirpation. If we exclude the Divine Mother Kundalini, then the work becomes incomplete. Without Her it would be impossible to eliminate defects.

Runic Magic, 1969

Frankly, I converted myself into an enemy of myself, thus, I resolved to equilibrate comprehension and elimination. Each comp rehended defect was eliminated with the power of the Divine Mother Kundalini.

Runic Magic, 1969

Krishnamurti has taught humanity to dissolve the ego, but the teaching is incipient because he believes that simply on the basis of comprehension the anger, jealousy etc., is eliminated. That is not possible. A power capable of eliminating the ego is needed, and that is the Serpentine Power, “Devi Kundalini” which does have the power to eliminate all of our psychological defects. Comprehension and elimination must be in balance. Devi Kundalini can take up the lance, and she does so during the Sahaja Maithuna, she knows how to use the Genius Lucis.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Anger

Comprehension and elimination are radical. It would be impossible to eliminate the Red Demons (our defects) without these factors.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is written with words of mystery that only the woman symbol, the original she-devil, prototype of that which is the most sublime and on par with that which is the most abject on the earth, is the unique one who indeed has the power of anointing us to the death... Comprehension and elimination are radical if indeed what we want is to die within ourselves...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Comprehension and elimination are indispensable in order to discard all of that variety of subjective elements which constitute the ego, the myself, the itself.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Comprehension and elimination are basic, decisive and fundamental factors. It is unquestionable that every psychological defect must be previously comprehended in an integral way before its elimination.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Unquestionably, with the help of my Divine Mother Kundalini, I had eliminated defects of a psychological type, whether in the astral or in the mental world; however, their causal germs went on existing inside me, here and now... In the sphere of the most pure experimental psychology, we can assert the following statement: "The radical elimination of any psychological defect fails absolutely when there is no dissolution of its secret cause''.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Comprehension and elimination are basic for the dissolution of the myself, of the very self Question: Master, can you explain to us if on spilling the cup of Hermes the Kundartiguador organ is developed?

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

Someone could, for example, have comprehended the defect of anger and could even give himself the luxury of capturing its deep significance and, however, continue with it. To eliminate is different, because the mind can provoke diverse modes of action; it can label the defects, move them from one department of understanding to another, but it cannot fundamentally alter them We need to appeal to a power superior to the mind, if we want to extirpate defects. Fortunately such a power exists; I want to now refer to the serpentine fire, to that sacred fire that normally develops in the body of the ascetic.

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

Understanding and elimination is the key to St. Andrew’s cross. This is how we undergo death from instant to instant. It is impossible to radically eliminate a psychological defect without fully understanding it at all levels of the mind.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Comprehension is fundamental, but it is not all in the work of dissolution of the psychic aggregates, as we shall see in the following chapter.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

The dissolution of the Ego accelerates if we know how to make the most of the worst circumstances; these offer us the best opportunities. The control of the intimate defects is superficial and is condemned to failure. It is necessary to eliminate our defects. With this, we establish adequate foundations in our Consciousness for the right way of acting. Comprehension is first, elimination is second.

The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students

I appealed to the systems of Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff: in-depth, profound comprehension, through inner meditation; to try, through meditation, to comprehend the process of lasciviousness, of lust. Unquestionably, the power of discernment, delving deeper, became extremely penetrating; It was like the surgeon’s scalpel trying to take out the root of a cancerous tumor; but everything was useless.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust

One of those days, in profound meditation, I was trying to discern what the process of lust is, trying to understand what that “I” is –according to the systems of Gurdjieff, Nicoll, Krishnamurti and many, many others– when, to my disgrace, an unusual phenomenon happened to me: because the concentration was too penetrating, I left the physical body and entered the world that we would call astral. Then I found myself inside a luxurious mansion, caressing a lady, loving her, wooing her, etc.; exactly the opposite of what I was trying to do, the antithesis, as if, by stubborn opposition, that terrible “I” wanted to totally destroy my work.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust

And I kept working with Devi Kundalini, and that is how I managed to keep eliminating all the inhuman psychic aggregates that I carried inside. If I had not received the instruction of the Guardian of the Sphinx of the desert, I would have been without armament. With what would I have eliminated those “I’s”? Experience taught me that it is not possible to base this exclusively on comprehension or discernment. I do not deny that comprehension is fundamental, but it is not everything; one also needs elimination. Comprehension and elimination are basic. This is how we can advance on the path of the disintegration of the undesirable elements that we carry within us; this way and only this way.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

As one advances in self-observation, surprising events happen. One of these days, we could find ourselves, for example, in the astral world as our physical body lies asleep in the bed. Then we happen to discover with astonishment a new “I”, perhaps an “I” of jealousy that we thought we no longer had, perhaps an “I” of anger that we thought we no longer possessed, perhaps an “I” of envy that we thought we never had. Such an event calls us to work. And from that moment, we dedicate ourselves to work: first, to comprehend, and second, to annihilate that new “I”.

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

Through mere comprehension it is not possible to dissolve the “I’s”. I do not deny that with the “knife of the Consciousness”, comprehending vividly any “I”, we can separate it from ourselves, from our psyche. But that, my dear brothers, is not enough, because the “I”, separated from our psyche, will still be alive, will not resign to staying far away from home, will try again and again to occupy once more its place, will become a tempting demon. We have to disintegrate the “I” that we have separated from ourselves with the “knife of the Consciousness”, and no one can disintegrate it with any power other than the power of the Divine Mother Kundalini. Only she can reduce it to ashes, to cosmic dust.

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

The matter was serious. I felt very sad. I resorted to Krishnamurti’s system of “integral comprehension and discernment”. The system of meditation was profound, I was trying to discern the process of lust, the process of desire; I wanted to comprehend to be able to eliminate, but everything turned out to be useless. After a day of terrible work on myself, I was failing again the trials of chastity. For that reason, I was suffering frighteningly.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust

Well, one of those many days, I was lying on the floor on my back, with my head to the north, immersed in profound meditation with the intention of being able to discern and comprehend the process of lust in all the levels of the mind –a completely Krish-namurtian system, mixed with that terrible system, also monastery-like, of even whipping myself–.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust

Lying down –I repeat– as I was, on my back, with my head to the north, in profound meditation, something unusual happened to me –it was terrible–. The concentration became extremely profound and then I left the physical body. Once out of the dense form, I saw myself in an elegant apartment –not exactly in a temple, nor in some monastery with skinny and ascetic old clergymen; none of that– adoring a lady, embracing her ardently and thousands of things of the sort. It all happened in seconds. When I returned to the physical body, I felt totally let down, and may Mr. Krishnamurti excuse me, may he have the kindness to excuse me –because he is a Master, I am not against any Master– but, frankly, I felt let down by his system; it did not yield any result for me.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

We must make a complete differentiation between what is comprehension and what is elimination. Comprehending is not all, it needs to be eliminated. Someone might comprehend that he has a defect of anger, but this does not mean that he has eliminated it; someone might comprehend that he has a defect of lust, but this would not mean having eliminated it; someone might comprehend that he has a defect of revenge, but this does not mean that he has eliminated it.

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

Every newborn master is subjected to many esoteric tests in the internal worlds. These kinds of tests permit him to know, in depth, all the subconscious, submerged entities which come from his remote past and constitute his pluralized I. Only the Divine Mother can eliminate, from the lunar bodies, those tenebrous entities, which personify our secret defects and come from a remote past.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The initiate must comprehend deeply, in all levels of the mind, every defect, but it is necessary to know that the mind cannot reduce any defect to cosmic dust. The only thing the mind can do is to control the defects, hiding those defects from itself, passing them from one level to another, etc.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Mind

The work of eliminating these entities that constitute the pluralized “I” is bitterer than gall, and the initiate suffers unspeakably in these tests because in the sub-conscious, unconscious, and infraconscious regions, he commits fornication, adultery, and other faults, which he would never commit, for any amount of gold, in the physical world. Only his Mother Kundalini, only his Divine Mother, can help the initiate in this work of rejecting submerged entities in the infernal worlds.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

She assists us by hurling to the infernal worlds the submerged entity which personifies the defect which we want to reduce to dust The subconscious submerged entities of our defects are compelled to enter the infernal worlds gradually with Divine Mother Kundalini’s help.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Some gluttons disguise their gluttony by looking like simple people who enjoy a Sunday picnic; others justify their defect by saying they need to eat well in order to work, etc. Each defect is multifaceted, and in the subconscious regions, we find them represented by multiple subjective entities, small “I’s” who live within our lunar bodies, projecting themselves into the subconscious levels of the mind. Only with the profound comprehension and the help of Divine Mother Kundalini can we eliminate those “I’s” of the lunar bodies. The initiate, with the help of the Divine Mother, must eliminate, not only the desire, but also the shadow of the desire and even the memory of such a shadow.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Desire and Will, Gluttony

It is impossible to eliminate all those small ‘I’ that constitute the Lunar Ego without the help of the Divine Mother. The comprehension of any defect is fundamental, indispensable, when one wants to eliminate the small “I” that personifies it, but the work of elimination in itself, is impossible without the help of the sacred five-legged Cow.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Divine Mother eliminates broken bottles. Each small “I” is a bottle within which a fraction of the Essence is engrossed.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

On the basis of In-depth Comprehension and profound Inner Meditation, we can and should eliminate from ourselves, with the help of the Divine Mother, the evil consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We can work with Proserpine, the Queen of the Infernos eliminating I with the condition of first comprehending the defect that we want to extirpate (see Chapter Eight). Proserpine only eliminates the ‘I’s which personify the defects that we have comprehended in an integral manner.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To comprehend each of our Psychological Defects in each and every of the forty-nine regions of the Sub-consciousness is vital. However, it is not enough for the elimination of all the Submerged Entities that personify our errors. The mind cannot radically change anything. The mind itself can have the luxury of hiding its own errors, or justify them, or condemn them, or pass them from one department of the mind into another. Nonetheless, the mind is not capable of dissolving or eliminating them.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Mind

To eliminate the Demonic “I’s” which live within the lunar bodies without the help of our Divine Mother is impossible.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Previous comprehension of any Psychological defect is indispensable before our Divine Mother proceeds to eliminate the submerged entity which personifies it.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

To truly eliminate the Ahamkrita Bhava, the egoic condition from our consciousness, would be absolutely impossible if we commit the crime of forgetting our own Divine Mother Kundalini.

Runic Magic, 1969

The mind cannot fundamentally alter anything. What the mind does is label things, hide defects, pass them onto other levels, etc. To eliminate errors is another thing, and without Devi Kundalini, the magic Serpent of our magical powers, this would be something absolutely impossible.

Runic Magic, 1969

Those poor souls were sighing and also moaning. I was never forgetting my Divine Mother, I always beseeched her to help me in this Purgatorial work, to eliminate from me this or that psychological defect. The fight against myself was terrible.

Runic Magic, 1969

This is how I understood it. Therefore, I prayed to my Divine Mother and the outcome was marvellous. Oh, Divine Mother Kundalini! Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers! Isis, whose veil no mortal has lifted! Sophia! The Gods from the Garden of Hesperides know very well that you can, in fact, eliminate defects. Thus, between my Mother and I, we partook the hard work. I comprehended and She eliminated.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

An in depth comprehended defect was immediately eliminated by my Mother. She never abandoned me, She never left me alone.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is obvious that without the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini, the elimination of all the diverse entities that personify our errors would be impossible.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is impossible to eliminate the Ego-Devils (psychological defects) without the aid of Devi Kundalini, you know that...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

In the name of the Truth I frankly confess that without the immediate help of my adorable Divine Mother, there is no way in which I would have been able to radically eliminate the Hydra of Lerna... (My psychological defects in the intellectual subconscious).

The Three Mountains, 1972

It is not possible to be free of such and such an error, without its elimination. The latter is vital, cardinal and definitive when one wants to die from instant to instant, and from moment to moment. However, it is not with the mind that we can extirpate our errors. With the mind we can label our diverse psychological defects giving them different names, juggling them from one level of the subconscious to the other, hiding them from oneself, judging them., mc excuses for them, etc., but it is not possible to fundamentally alter them or extirpate them. What is needed is a force superior to the mind; we need to appeal to a transcendental power, if we truly want to eliminate errors and die in oneseIf here and now.

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

Obviously, Stella Maris has the effective power to disintegrate the aberrations that we carry in our psychological interior.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Our own derivative-Being, Tonantzin, Stella Maris, as an electric power, is unknown to the entire humanity. Yet, she abides latent in the depth of our psyche. Ostensibly, she enjoys the power that permits her to decapitate any “I” before its final disintegration. Stella Maris is that philosophical fire that is found latent in all organic and inorganic matter.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in The Words He Uses

A special power superior to the mind is necessary a fiery power that is capable of reducing any defect to ashes. Stella Maris, our Divine Mother has that power. She is able to pulverize any psychological defect.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Ostensibly, only "ISIS" has absolute power to disintegrate any "I"; this is irrefutable, indisputable, incontrovertible.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

When it is a matter of dissolving undesirable psychic aggregates, it is fundamental to implore the Divine Mother Kundalini, however, the Intimate Christ in the utmost depths of the myself, wisely operates according to his own responsiblities which he takes upon his shoulders.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

We do not want in any way to deny the sexual mysteries. I hope you understand that the path that leads to the Tality is, and I emphasize this completely, absolutely sexual. Unquestionably, a bachelor or bachelorette can dissolve, with a lot of comprehension, fifty percent of ones psychic aggregates, as long as one calls upon the Divine Mother Kundalini during meditation.

For the Few, 1980

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

The Divine Mother Kundalini the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers can and must eliminate the psychic aggregates.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

God is rising within ourselves when our Divine Mother Kundalini disintegrates and scatters the ashes of the enemies of the Eternal One. Unquestionably, the enemies of God are the undesirable psychic elements that we carry within our interior, Such elements personify our psychological defects: Anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc., etc., etc.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

These cases are an exception, because normally, the Divine Mother Kundalini slo wly disintegrates the psychic aggregates before extracting the Essence. The Light of Christ is within Sophia and she is within Him.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

In order to be able to eliminate one needs Devi Kundalini Shakti, it is only she who can disintegrate any psychological defect including the I of self-esteem.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

We can disintegrate that defect of jealousy only with a power superior to the mind. Fortunately, it exists. I want to refer now to the Cosmic Divine Mot her. People have adored her. She is “Guadalupana”, she is Tonantzin, she is Isis, she is Mary, she is Cybele, she is Diana, etc. Each village has worshiped her, but she exists! It will not be just for one person, no! Each one carries her inside; that is what had not been taught before. It happens that our divine Being, there in the profundities, has many parts, and one of those parts –which is, by the way, the most important one– is the Cosmic Divine Mother.

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

Therefore, the Cosmic Mother is one of the divine parts of our own Being. I clarify, she is not an “I”. Distinguish between the “I” and the Being. The Being is divine, the Being is Spirit, and the Divine Mother, the Cosmic Mother, is one of the parts of the Being. The Hindustani call her Kundalini, the Divine Mother Kundalini. Of course, in a popular way, people do not understand this, and people symbolize her, they put her the name of Mary, Adonia, Isomberta, Rhea, etc., but each one carries that Cosmic Mother inside them. She is a fohatic power, she is a Sacred Fire. If one begs to that Cosmic Mother to disintegrate that psychological defect of jealousy, she will do so. It is written by the Hindustanis that Kundalini has the power to liberate one. So, if we beg Devi Kundalini to reduce that “I” of jealousy to cosmic dust, she will do it!

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

And who is the Divine Mother Kundalini? I say to you frankly: it is a variant of our own Being, but a derivative; it is a part of ourselves, something that we all have inside there. If we concentrate on that part that is the Divine Mother Kundalini –she can also be called Stella Maris or the Virgin of the Sea– she will disintegrate, will break the “I's” that personify our defects.

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

Only that power of the Divine Mother Kundalini, who is a variant, I repeat, of our own Being, or God Mother in us can disintegrate any defect that we have previously comprehended in its entirety. Look, this is the path or the technique or the didactics which leads to the disintegration of the undesirable elements that we carry inside us. Any other question?

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

Master: Well, the Divine Mother Kundalini can be invoked when one is ready to eliminate. But before eliminating, one has to comprehend that which is going to be eliminated. If one does not comprehend it, it would be useless to call upon her, because then, in this case, he would not be assisted. First, we have to comprehend in order to deserve being assisted. One cannot be assisted, if he does not comprehend. The Divine Mother Kundalini is not going to eliminate that which we have not comprehended.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE

If we wanted to disintegrate the “I’s” based on pure analysis, we would not achieve it. We need to use the power of the Divine Mother. She is a part of our own inner divine, subliminal Being, and if we invoke her with purity of heart, she will assist us.

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

I concentrated on her profoundly and I was assisted. Then she took me to one of the Courts of the Law of Karma. The Judge sat down, and as the Holy Scriptures say, “the books have opened”. I took a few steps; they read to me old medieval accounts, mistakes of ancient lives. Later, I could clearly see how this “I” had arisen; I saw the disorders committed in the Middle Ages. Orders were given to the Cosmic Executioner and he advanced with his sword drawn. When I saw him coming, I felt terribly disappointed: “I have fought so hard in the physical world” I said “to help humanity, in giving the teachings to it, and this is the result! What was the use” I said, “of having been teaching there in the physical world?” But when the sword was approaching my chest, I felt a strange movement inside the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, and something came out of me: I observed and saw, yes, that inhuman psychic aggregate. The sword, which was directed against me, was diverted, and it turned to aim against that aggregate. Finally, it rushed into the entrails of the world and I was free. Since then, I have been victorious in all the tests related to chastity.

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

The mind, by itself, cannot fundamentally alter any defect. It can label it with different names, pass it from one department to another, hide it from itself or from others, but it can never alter it in a definitive way. A power that is superior to the mind is needed, a power that is able to disintegrate any psychological defect. That power exists within any living organism; it is an individual fohatic power. I am referring to the serpentine, annular power that develops in the spinal cord of the ascetic. If we appeal to that power, we can disintegrate any “I”, any defect. That power is personified by the Divine Mother Kundalini: Isis, Adonia, Rhea, Cybele, Ram-Io, Diana, Tonantzin, Mary.

The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity

With Devi Kundalini-Shakti –that is the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers– we can in fact eliminate those heavy elements. It would be a triumph, because that is how we would receive the direct messages that come from the highest part of the Being.

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

In any case, we need to become conscious of ourselves, of our own defects. Devi Kundalini-Shakti can eliminate, yes, she has that power. But it is necessary to become conscious of that which we want her to eliminate.

The Fifth Gospel Beyond the Mind Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1974

What I mean by this is that the Cosmic Mother is within ourselves here and now. If we implore that power, if we ask the Divine Mother to eliminate any defect of a psychological type from our psyche, she will do so. It is obvious that, for this reason, the defect in question will be disintegrated.

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

Elimination is only possible with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini. Someone can comprehend that he has a mistake, a psychological defect, and he nevertheless continues with it.

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

Elimination is different: it is only possible with the help of Devi Kundalini.

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

We are frighteningly weak and we believe ourselves to be very strong; we are despicable creatures, exaggeratedly weak. There is nothing we could do if we did not have help; obviously we do: we count on the power of the Sacred Serpent, on the Divine Mother Kundalini; only she can truly assist us to disintegrate the “I’s”. Only she with her flames can reduce any “I” to cosmic dust. But trying to disintegrate the “I’s” without counting on the help of Devi Kundalini-Shakti is to condemn oneself to failure, and that is very serious.

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

When I discovered, precisely, the “I” of self-love, which was very well hidden among the deepest folds of my psyche, I felt great pain, I had to go through a great emotional crisis, I suffered a lot, and I truly repented. So I got Devi Kundalini-Shakti to pulverize that undesirable element.

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 Pride

Well, since the work with the Divine Mother Kundalini gave me formidable results, I said: ‘This is the system to disintegrate the “I’s” and I continued working then with the Divine Mother Kundalini on different “I’s”, that is, on different psychic aggregates, and I was able to verify for myself, through the sense of psychological self-observation, how she worked and how she was disintegrating so extraordinarily the different inhuman elements that we carry inside us. So, the path to attain the disintegration of the Ego is attained with the Divine Mother Kundalini-Shakti.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

The visible face of the psychological moon is related to the psychic aggregates or defects that stand out at first sight. But there are psychological defects that do not surface and that one ignores, and which are placed or located in the hidden part of the psychological moon. Working with the Divine Mother Kundalini, without sexual contact, I managed to disintegrate the defects of the visible face of the psychological moon.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

For integral comprehension, the help of the Being is needed. The same goes for elimination. The mind, by itself, could not eliminate. To eliminate, one definitively needs the help of Devi Kundalini-Shakti, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers.

The Fifth Gospel Joining the Being and the Knowing Interview – Mexico City – 1977

So, my dear brothers, to be able to eliminate, we need to appeal to Devi Kundalini-Shakti. Only she can disintegrate any psychological defect, including the “I” of self-love. Are you sure that you are not resentful toward someone? Who among you is sure that he is not resentful? Who among you is sure that he is not doing calculations? Who?

The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Pride, Resentment & Generosity

One can disintegrate any defect, whether in deep meditation, being alone, or when one is working in the Ninth Sphere. Singles, being alone; the married ones, when they will be working in the Ninth Sphere. Unquestionably, singles in their works can get to eliminate twenty-five, thirty percent of the totality of the undesirable elements that are carried inside.

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

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, Identification

The mind by itself could not eliminate any psychological defect. The mind can only label it with different names, pass it from one level to another, hide it from itself and from others, etc., condemn or justify it, but never radically alter it. We need a power that is superior to the mind, a power that can really disintegrate any “I”-defect. Fortunately, we all possess that power within ourselves, here and now. I want to refer in an emphatic way to the annular serpentine power that develops in the body of the Gnostic ascetic, to that extraordinary power that the East-erners call Kundalini, and which the medieval alchemists call Stella Maris.

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

Stella Maris is truly a variant of our own Being, but a derivative. Stella Maris, the Sacred Cobra, the serpentine power, Devi Kundalini –as she is called in Hindustan and Tibet– can instantly disintegrate any defect of a psychological type. It is obvious that we all have every right to invoke the power of Devi Kundalini-Shakti. This power multiplies, develops and unfolds when one works extraordinarily in the Lit Forge of Vulcan, in the Ninth Sphere.

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

Single people can also invoke Devi Kundalini when they want to eliminate this or that psychological error. But truly, we have to affirm in an emphatic way that the marvelous power of Devi Kundalini-Shakti multiplies extraordinarily in the Ninth Sphere. With that miraculous power we can disintegrate any defect. Devi Kundalini, Isis, Adonia, that variant of our own Being, that aspect of God-Mother in us, can eliminate from ourselves the defect that we have completely comprehended in all the levels of the mind.

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

We can label a defect with different names, pass it from one department of the mind to another, etc., but we would never alter it fundamentally. We need a power superior to the mind capable of eliminating this or that error. Fortunately, there is such a power in a latent state within each one of us. Obviously, I am talking about Devi Kundalini, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers. Only by imploring her, can we get her to eliminate that defect which we have fully understood.

The Fifth Gospel Animic Involution or Intimate Revolution Third Chamber – Mexico City – April 1973

A specific formula in order to pray to our Inner Divine Mother is not necessary. We must be very natural and simple when we address Her. The child who addresses his/her mother never has a special formulae. The child utters what comes from his/her heart and that is all. No “I” is instantaneously dissolved. Our Divine Mother must work and even suffer very much before achieving the annihilation of any “I.” Make yourselves introversive, direct your prayer within, seeking within your interior your Divine Lady. Thus, with sincere supplications, you shall be able to talk to Her. Beg her to disintegrate the “I” that you have previously observed and judged.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Tonight, here, on stage, the Divine Mother has appeared. In the scene we saw how Adam moans, begs, asks the Divine Mother to disintegrate this or that psychological defect, and she comes with her spear and pierces the error, she turns it into cosmic dust. This is how we must proceed.

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

Disciple: Master, can you do us the favor of clarifying something in relation to what death from moment to moment is. While one walks in the street, for example, and has the need to ask for the death of an “I”, will one have to meditate in the street, or what is the system?

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977

Disciple: Master, an Ego usually presents itself in different forms in the different centers. Then, should one ask the Divine Mother to destroy the Ego as one, or are there various subdivisions of the same Ego? Because they always appear in the mind in one way, in the emotional center another way.

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977

In the present existence that you have, you must disintegrate those spiders and those birds of mental materialism. To that end, you have to work a lot on yourself, to devote yourself to work with the Divine Mother Kundalini, beg her to disintegrate those spiders and those ill-omened birds. You made those creations yourself; that is the result of skepticism and materialism. Faith will arise in you when you will destroy those horrible spiders and those frightful big ugly birds.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

Indeed, it is unquestionable that only with the weapon of Eros, grasped by the Divine Mother Kundalini during the sacred coitus, can we radically eliminate one by one all of those tenebrous entities that personify our psychological defects and that in their conjunction characterize the animal ego.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Contrary to violating our innermost essence, by being involved in brutal lustfulness or becoming organically numb in a spasm which lasts for only a few seconds, the practitioner takes on the power of his personal Divine Mother Kundalini, fusing with her into one unity and eliminating an Ego, that is to say, this or that psychological defect which has previously been understood in depth.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Having said that, you have the key, you already know how to use it, and it must be used to destroy the psychic aggregates. However, any aggregate must previously have been comprehended in all the levels of the mind before being directly eliminated in the ninth Dantean circle.

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

Thus, in the Forge of the Cyclops, Devi Kundalini-Shakti, the Sacred Cobra of the ancient mysteries, the IAO, is terribly strengthened with the transcendental sexual electricity, and she is duly prepared in such moments to instantly reduce to dust any “I”-defect.

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

We need to die from moment to moment, as the defects are being annihilated; the ‘I’ dies from moment to moment.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The first thing one needs is to awaken, so as to comprehend one’s own misery, nothingness and pain. The “I” then begins to die from moment to moment.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Awakening

Only by comprehending each defect separately, only by studying it, by directly observing it, not only in the intellectual realm, but also in all the subconscious levels of the mind, each defect keeps disappearing, we keep dying from moment to moment. Only in this way will we achieve the disintegration of the “I”.

Fundamental Education, 1970

We need to die from moment to moment if we truly want to individual ise ourselves. The pluralised “I” excludes all individuality. In no way is it possible to have individuality where multiple entities (I’s) exist which argue amongst themselves and give rise to various psychological com mitments within us.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

We need to die from instant to instant, from moment to moment; only with the death of the ego does the new come.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Time passed by, and I was dying from moment to moment... To comprehend and to eliminate, that was my task.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Igneous Serpent of our magical powers to eliminate from our interior nature the psychological defects that we have already profoundly understood in all regions of the subconscious. This is how we die from instant to instant and from moment to moment, only with death comes the new.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Elemental Magic

The doctrine of Buddhist annihilation is fundamental. We need to die from moment to moment. Only death brings forth what is new....

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The great Buddhist Annihilation is urgent, non-delayable, and unpostponable. We must die in all the levels of the mind, and pass beyond the Illuminated Void and the existential relativity of the Universe.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When a defect is integrally comprehended in all the levels of the mind, then it is disintegrated along with the small ‘I’ which characterizes it. Thus, the defect is reduced to cosmic dust in the suprasensible worlds.

Dissolving the I, 1964

This is how we die from moment to moment. This is how we establish a permanent centre of consciousness, a permanent centre of gravity within ourselves.

Dissolving the I, 1964

We need the death of our ‘I’. We need to die from moment to moment, here and now, not only in this physical world, but also in all of the planes of the Cosmic Mind. We need to be pitiless against ourselves in order to dissect the ‘I’ with the tremendous scalpel of self-criticism.

Dissolving the I, 1964

When we discover a defect and deeply understand it in all levels of the mind, it must then be disintegrated. Each time a defect gets disintegrated, something new comes to replace it; whether it be a password, a mantra, a cosmic initiation, an esoteric degree, a secret power, etc. This is how little by little we are filled with true wisdom.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

One needs to change. We would not be able to change if we did not eliminate the undesirable elements that we carry within. We need to move to a higher level of Being; even more, we need to ascend from level to level until we reach the highest part of all the levels of the Being, and this is only possible by dying in ourselves from instant to instant, from moment to moment. Only with death does the new come; if the seed does not die, the plant is not born.

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

Thus, the authentic, true, real mystical experience only comes when we objectify the Consciousness, when we are awake. The Gnostic brothers should reflect profoundly on all this; study our book The Mystery of the Golden Blossom; concern oneself about dying from moment to moment. Only in this way will they be able to really succeed in objectifying the Consciousness. That is all!

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

Obviously, she will be able to do it with her weapon, and so in this way we will die from instant to instant, from moment to moment. It is not enough to understand a defect; it is necessary, my dear brothers, to eliminate it. Comprehension is not everything, elimination is needed.

The Fifth Gospel Animic Involution or Intimate Revolution Third Chamber – Mexico City – April 1973

Dying like this, from moment to moment, my dear brothers, the day will come when only the divine, the Being, that which is real, will dwell in the depth of each one of us.

The Fifth Gospel Animic Involution or Intimate Revolution Third Chamber – Mexico City – April 1973

During full moon nights, the lunar atoms make contact with the Silver Shield of our mental body. At that time we can receive the teachings of the lunar wisdom by means of meditation. Seven lunar ethereal currents exist. The civilization of our ancient EarthMoon intensely lives within them. The solar and lunar civilizations live within our interior worlds and we can visit those civilizations by means of profound interior meditation.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

57. During the practice of meditation, the chakras of the astral body of our disciples enter into activity. The disciples then begin to perceive the images of the supra-sensible worlds.

Igneous Rose, 1954

60. The disciple contemplates many images that are mysteries for him because he does not understand them.

Igneous Rose, 1954

61. Yet, as long as he perseveres with his practices of internal meditation, he will then feel that the supra-sensible images produce certain feelings of happiness or pain. 62. The disciple then feels inspired in the presence of the internal images. He has thus risen to the stage of inspired knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

64. Imagination, inspiration, and intuition are the three obligatory paths for the Initiation. 65. We reach these three ineffable heights by means of concentration, meditation and Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

134. We must contemplate the internal images within the august serenity of the flames of blazing thought, without the depressing process of reasoning.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Clairvoyance

149. During the practices of internal meditation, we must be in the most absolute interior repose, because every agitation of the mind and every attitude or impatience disturbs the mind and impedes the perception of internal images.

Igneous Rose, 1954

According to Dr. Sivananda, eminent endocrinologist and Hindustani yogi, by awakening the chakra of the thyroid gland, we achieve clairaudience. If one submerges into daily meditation with the purpose to hear a distant friend, then during the period of sleep one would be able to hear his words. With the interior meditation, one can awaken clairaudience.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

On any given day, within dreams or while in meditation, a distant picture, a landscape of nature, a feature, etc. emerges. This is a sign that the student is progressing.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

If the yogi persists with internal meditation, if he is consistent, tenacious and infinitely patient, after a certain amount of time, the first clairvoyant perceptions will appear.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Clairvoyance

Luminous spots, pictures of light, living figures, sounds of bells, and the voices of people or of animals, etc. indicate with accuracy that the student is progressing in the development of his internal powers. All of these perceptions appear in the instant that, while submerged in profound meditation, we are dozing off.

The Yellow Book, 1959

Many types of light begin to appear with the practice of internal meditation. At the beginning the devotee perceives very brilliant white lights. These lights correspond to the eye of wisdom, which is located between the eyebrows. The white, yellow, red, blue, and green lights as well as the lightning, sun, moon, stars, sparks, flames, etc. are particles which are formed by supra-sensible elements (Tanmatras10 particles).

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Clairvoyance

When small luminous balls appear, shining with white and red colors, then this is an absolutely positive sign that we are progressing in our practices of concentration of thought. There will be an instant in which the devotee will see angels, or archangels, thrones, powers, virtues, etc. The student may also see within dreams or during meditation, grand temples, rivers, valleys, mountains and beautiful enchanted gardens.

The Yellow Book, 1959

Commonly, during the practice of meditation, certain strange sensations occur that may sometimes fill the devotee with fear. One of these sensations is an electric shock in the chakra of the coccyx. Also, the lotus of a thousand petals, which is situated in the upper part of the brain, may often feel electric sensations. The devotee must defeat fear if he wants to progress in the development of his internal powers.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Fear, The Yellow Book

While in the state of ‘Manteia’ (ecstasy), the Initiates can contemplate their resplendent Intimate, face to face, before the mirror of Eleusis. Another marvelous mirror exists within the human being. The Gnostic Medic must learn how to use this mirror by means of interior profound meditation... This mirror is the imagination. For the wise ones, to imagine is to see. The imagination is clairvoyance itself The imagination is the mirror of the soul. It is the translucence through which we perceive the images from the astral light.

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

It is also very true that through meditation we can visit the superior worlds. The Intimate can enter into any department of the kingdom.

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

One day, in one’s sleep, a faraway picture, a scene, a face, a number, a symbol, etc. emerges during meditation; this is the sign that one is already progressing.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

53. In order to become a Master of Samadhi it is urgent to cultivate a rich interior life. 54. The Gnostic who does not know how to smile has less control of himself, like the one who only knows the guffaw of Aristophanes.

Igneous Rose, 1954

66. Whosoever has reached these ineffable heights of intuition has converted himself into a Master of Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

3. When the magician submerges himself in meditation, he abandons his physical body and he can converse with the sidereal Gods.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954 also in Manual of Practical Magic, The Keys of Astral Travel

11. With meditation we can function without the four bodies of sin, in the world of the MIST OF FIRE.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

Other degrees of contemplation and ecstasy exist, such as: rapture, liquefaction, bliss, jubilation, osculation, embracement, transformation, etc.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Supreme meditation and absolute adoration takes us into ecstasy (Samadhi). Any Master of Samadhi is an illuminated one.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Words He Uses

36. Many types of Samadhi exist: Astral Samadhi, Mental Samadhi, Causal Samadhi, Samadhi within the consciousness, Samadhi within the Innermost and Samadhi within the Inner Christ.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

37. In the first Samadhi we only enter into the Astral plane. We soar with the Mental body throughout space in the second type of Samadhi.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

38. We function without material vehicles of any type within the world of Willpower in the third type of Samadhi. We soar with the Buddhic body throughout space in the fourth type of Samadhi.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

39. We can move in the Innermost without vehicles of any type throughout the World of the Mist of Fire in the fifth type of Samadhi.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

40. We can function in the Inner Christ with the sixth type of Samadhi.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

41. A seventh type of Samadhi exists for the Great Masters of Samadhi. In this Samadhi, we can visit the nucleoli upon which the entire universe is based. Those nucleoli, speaking in an allegorical way, are the holes through which we can observe the terrific majesty of the Absolute.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

Samadhi, Ecstasy, Satori always occur with very slow pulsations, and in Maha Sainadhi, pulsations end.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

I have directly experienced the Ain Soph while in the state of a very profound meditation. One day, the date and hour does not matter, I attained that state which in India is known as Nirva-Kalpa-Samadhi, where my soul was totally absorbed within the Ain Soph in order to travel throughout the Abstract Absolute Space.

Runic Magic, 1969

How happy I was while in absence of the ‘I’, and beyond this world, beyond the mind, beyond the stars and anti-stars. What one feels during the experience of Samadhi is unutterable. It is comprehendible only through experimentation.

Runic Magic, 1969

So, I was in that state which is known in the oriental world as Nirva-Kalpa-Samadhi. Being an individual, I had passed beyond any individuality, I felt for an instant that the drop was getting lost within the ocean that has no shores, the sea of indescribable light.. the bottomless abyss.. .the Buddhist void filled with glory and happiness.

Runic Magic, 1969

To battle, to fight, to suffer and to liberate oneself in the end, to lose oneself as a diamantine drop within the ocean of the uncreated light is, indeed, the highest longing. The Gods emerge by means of fire from within the abyss and are lost within the Absolute. Many things come into my memory in these instants in which I write these lines… On one given night, while in a profound internal meditation, I abandoned this illusory world of Maya. Thus, liberated from the shackles of this bitter existence, I submerged myself during that Samadhi within the world of the Spirit.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

My concentration was very profound. Thus, while meditating in a more and more intense manner, I finally fell into ecstasy.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

Delectable instants that are indescribable, undefinable and inexpressible... Samadhi of the Ascetic, exquisite fruit of meditation… Thus, I forgot the body, the affections and the mind. Indeed, there is no better pleasure than the feeling of oneself as a detached soul.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is urgent, it is indispensable, it is necessary for such impressions to exhaust their effects. Their destruction is done in the same manner as we do with ignorance and egotism, etc. If when arriving at the correct discrimination of the essences, we even reject their fruition, then the Samadhi named Cloud of Virtue comes as a consequence.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

‘That’ is the Satori, the Ecstasy of Saints, the Samadhi. In those moments, we can experience the Reality, the Trust.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

When one is trying to experience what is the Truth, the Reality, then Dionysian inebriation, ecstasy, shamadhi are obviously indispensable. Such an exaltation is a hundred per cent possible by means of the technique of meditation.

The Three Mountains, 1972

On another day, in profound meditation, in accordance with all the rules that Jnana Yoga has, I entered into something that is known as Nirvi-Kalpa-Samadhi; then I abandoned all the suprasensible bodies and penetrated the world of the Solar Logos, converted into a dragon of wisdom.

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

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

Master: No, it would see them within the crude realism. Because if one, for example, through Samadhi manages to live in that world of Atman, in that region where Atman expresses himself with all his power, one discovers that everything there is mathematical. He sees Nature as it is, without representations, exactly as it is, directly. Because one thing is the photo of a thing and another thing is the thing itself.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

The Buddhata, the essence, is the psychic material, the inner Buddhist principle, the spiritual material or prime matter with which we will give shape to the soul. The Buddhata is the best that we have within and awakens with profound inner meditation. The Buddhata is really the only element that the poor intellectual animal possesses to arrive at the experience of that which we call the Truth.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Awakening

The Bodhisattva of the Avatar Ashiata Shiemash suffered the unutterable, and fasting for forty days, mortifying himself horribly, sunk in profound inner meditation, he achieved the disassociation of the mental mechanics and his mind remained solemnly still and in imposing silence. The result was ecstasy with the incarnation of his real Being.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The great Avatar Ashiata Shiemash could incarnate within his Bodhisattva, when the mind of the latter was in absolute quietude and silence. This was due to the concrete fact that he was already in possession of his Superior Existential Bodies of the Being from ancient reincarnations.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Only through profound meditation can we experience the Being, the Intimate. The experience of the Being, the Intimate, transforms us radically. Mythomaniacs often adulterate said experience with unconscious mental self projections, which they then hurry to tell to everybody. Mythomaniacs are often victims of self-deceit and believing themselves to be gods, they aspire for everyone to adore them.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Clairvoyance

When the essence of the mind escapes during meditation out of the bottle of the opposites, we can experience what is real, the Being, the Intimate.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Whoever has at sometime experienced the Being during meditation is forever cured of the danger of falling into mythomania. The Being, the Intimate, what is real, is completely distinct from that which the pseudo esoterisists and pseudo occultists call superior ‘I’ or divine ‘I’.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

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

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

Thus, this is the path for returning into the innocence of Paradise. The soul will successfully experience the spiritual martyrdoms and the interior torments while submerged within the Nothingness. God searches the Nothingness in order to fill it. Internal meditation produces changes in our internal bodies. Through it, the awakening of the consciousness arrives.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Awakening

When the Mind is still, when the Mind is in silence, then the Essence remains free and the Experience of what is Real in the illuminating Void comes.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

During Samadhi, the Essence, the Buddhata escapes the Personality, then it becomes Fused with the Being and the experience of what is Real in the Illuminating Void comes. It is only in the absence of the Ithat we can converse with the Father, Brahma.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The exercises of inner meditation gradually provoke the “Awakening of the Consciousness,” the awakening of the Buddhata.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Awakening

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

Ah! ... if they would destroy the ‘I’, if they would reduce to dust their beloved ego, then truly, their soul wo uld remain free.. .in ecstasy...in a continuous Samadhi. Thus, they will directly experience that which is the Truth.

Runic Magic, 1969

When the mind is quiet and in a profound silence, then the soul escapes in order to immerse itself within the Great Alaya of the Universe.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

Undoubtedly, the experience of the Illuminating Void is only possible in the state of Samadhi, or as it is also called, in the state of Prajnaparamita. In the Illuminating Void forms of any kind do not exist, one could say that there one passes beyond the universe and the gods.

For the Few, 1980

Then we could say one who enters into that state of Mahasamadhi lives in all things, stripped of everything, and this is in itself grandiose, sublime, and ineffable.

For the Few, 1980

It is possible that in a practice of deep meditation the consciousness of a human being can escape from amidst the ego and experience the happiness of the Illuminating Void. It is obvious that if one attains to the Illuminating Void one will work with pleasure upon oneself, one will work eagerly, since one will have certainly experienced That which is the Truth, in the absence of the ego. That which is not of time, that which is beyond the body, affections, and the mind.

For the Few, 1980

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

Dissolving the I, 1964

Also it is possible for one to get, by means of deep inner meditation, the Essence, the psychic material, to un-bottle, even if only momentarily, from within the Ego to experience that which is real, that which is not of time.

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

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

Master: Well, undoubtedly, you are talking to me about two things that are of different topics. The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is the INRI, the Tao is the Being, the Tao is what is real, the truth, that which is only experienced by the Taoist mystic, the Zen monk in a state of ecstasy or Satori, when the Consciousness is unbottled through meditation and penetrates into the Illuminating Void. Receiving the Tao implies receiving the truth.

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

And if all creatures can be reflected in the psyche of a Buddha of Contemplation –because he no longer has inhuman psychic aggregates to disintegrate–, then he, in fact, achieves through intuition what we could define as “omniscience”.

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

Ashiata Shiemash carried out a great work in Asia founding monasteries and establishing rulers with awakened consciousness everywhere. This Bodhisattva was able to incarnate his Real Being during meditation because he already possessed the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

It is also necessary to clarify that after the ecstasy, and in spite of having received a tremendous amount of energy, the ‘I’ is not dissolved, as many students of occultism mistakenly believe. The dissolution of the ‘I’ is only possible through profound comprehension and through incessant daily work on ourselves, from instant to instant. We explain all of this in order not to confuse the Gnostic meditation with the tenebrous practices of Subub, and many other schools of black magic.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Nonetheless, we must know that Illumination is one thing and that Self-realization is another very distinct matter. A Master of Samadhi (ecstasy) can disembottled the soul from the mind which is normally bottled up within the ‘I’ during a state of supreme adoration to experience the Truth; but this does not signify the incarnation of the Truth. After the ecstasy, the mind normally becomes bottled up within the “I”, and the mystic is left with his same tragic and painful life. Only by incarnating the Truth is there a complete revolution within the human being.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We practise internal meditation to achieve ecstasy, but we know very well that Kundalini does not awaken with meditation, because Kundalini is sexual. It is false to affirm that the awakening of Kundalini is achieved through meditation. Meditation is a technique to receive information. Meditation is not a technique for awakening Kundalini. The pseudoesotericists have done much damage with their ignorance. In India there are seven fundamental schools of yoga and these all speak of Kundalini. These schools of yoga are of no use if Tantrism is not studied. Tantrism is the best of the Orient. Maithuna (Sexual Magic) is practised in every authentic school of esoteric yoga. This is Tantrism. The Tantras give fundamental value to yoga.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Meditation combined with Pranayama serves for the Awakening of the Consciousness. However, they will never serve for the awakening of the Kundalini.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Some Mystics achieve the ascension of some Sacred Flames throughout the medullar canal by means of Prayer and Meditation; however, this does not signify the Awakening of the Kundalini.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Any given fraction of the Kundalini can produce illumination during Prayer and Meditation; nonetheless, this does not signify the Awakening of the Kundalini.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Thus, the Samadhi became extremely profound... The absolute absence of the ‘I’, the complete loss of Individuality, the more and more radical impersonalisation caused fear in me.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Fear

Then, woe of me!... Woe! Woe! It was then when I comprehended the inconvenient joke of the ego. The ego was the one who was suffering, it was afraid of its life, it was crying. Satan, the ‘Myself’, my beloved ego, caused me the loss of my Samadhi. What a horror If I could have known it before...

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Fear

Many years ago, during meditation, I experienced this truth. Unfortunately, in that epoch I had not yet dissolved the Pluralized ‘I’. Therefore, terror damaged my experience.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Fear

It is not superfluous to affirm in this chapter that the aspirants of the Mahayana School in truth long and have an infinite yearning for direct experience of Illuminating Emptiness. In no way do we exaggerate judgements if we assert with a certain fervour that disciples of the Hinayana School labour tenaciously in the "Forge of Cyclops" (Sex) with the intelligent objective of achieving inner Self-Realization of Illuminating Emptiness. When the mind is still, when the mind is in silence from within and without and in the centre, the mystic experience of Emptiness comes; however, it is obvious that SelfRealization is something very different. Emptiness is not very easy to explain. Certainly I can tell you that it is not definable or describable.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Being more specific, we shall say: psychedelic is the antithesis of meditation. The drug hell is in the interior of the planetary organism in which we live, under the same skin of the earth's crust.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Meditation and Psychedelic are incompatible, opposite, antagonistic; they will never be able to blend with each other.

The Three Mountains, 1972

The Hippie movement preferred the drug hell; it undoubtedly defined itself perversely. We Gnostics, totally disillusioned by Mammon's futile intellectualism, drink the wine of meditation in the glass of perfect concentration.

The Three Mountains, 1972

Those anchorites were accustomed to momentarily taking the Essence, the Buddhi out of the bottle. They then experienced Satori and Samadhi. Yet, following that mystic experience, they returned into the bottle like the genie of the lamp of Aladdin. Some of these Saints died in complete Mahasamadhi. Nevertheless, presently such Beings have returned as vulgar, common and current persons.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

They were skilled in Samadhi, yet, when not working on the ego, the result is failure. To experience the illuminated Void does not signify the Self-realization of the Illuminated Void.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The only thing that the intellectual animal can do, being unable to incarnate the Being (due to the fact that he still does not possess the superior existential bodies), is to practice meditation, to auto-awaken the Buddhata and to know the Truth.

Dissolving the I, 1964

The great Avatar Ashiata Shiemash could incarnate within his Bodhisattva, when the mind of the latter was in absolute quietude and silence. This was due to the concrete fact that he already was in possession of his Superior Existential Bodies of the Being from ancient reincarnations.

Dissolving the I, 1964

We explain all of this in order not to confuse the Gnostic meditation with the tenebrous practices of Subub, and many other schools of black magic.

Dissolving the I, 1964

Meditation and Intoxication Meditation and intoxication are the opposite poles of the same force. Meditation is positive. Alcoholic intoxication is negative.

Introduction to Gnosis also in Gluttony

The Rosicrucian Gnostic should drink the wine of meditation in the sacred cup of concentration. It is necessary to keep far away from the negative aspect; it is necessary to not fall into the negative aspect of the mind. The vice of alcohol pertains to the negative aspect of the mind. The drunkard submerges himself into the atomic infernos of nature and becomes lost in the abyss. It is better to drink the wine of meditation in the sacred cup of the concentration of thought. Let us concentrate our mind on our inner God, let us meditate on him for entire hours and in this manner we will reach samadhi, the ineffable ecstasy. Then we will be able to converse with the gods and enter into the great mysteries of nature. This is better than the “delirium tremens,” which allows the drunkard to penetrate into the atomic infernos of nature and live together with the demons of the abyss. The visions of the “delirium tremens” of drunkards are actually real; that which they see in their visions really exists. They see larvae, demons, and horrible monsters that really exist in the atomic infernos of universal nature. They penetrate the abyss and see the beings of the abyss, perverse beings that live in the atomic infernos of nature. Alcoholic Larvae Every human being carries an atomic atmosphere perceptible to clairvoyants. Alcoholic larvae live in the fourth dimension. By the way, we must say that modern physics has already begun to admit to the four coordinates, the fourth dimension, the fourth vertical. The drunkard carries, in this ultra-sensitive atmosphere, alcoholic larvae that stimulate him in the vice that gave them life, impulsing him to drink. The aforementioned larvae only disintegrate with the fumes of sulphur.

Introduction to Gnosis also in Gluttony

44. The mystic is afraid to cease to exist… he is horrified… he knows that he must lose himself in the Tality, the Totality. 45. So it is that one loses the Satori, the ecstasy, the Samadhi, and one returns to the interior of the “myself.”

The Science of Meditation also in Fear

Well, I realize that in the meditation rooms in Japan it may be possible to reach Satori, but it lasts only a few minutes or, in the best case, one or more hours, after which, the mind again becomes as agitated as ever. One comes out of that state of happiness to appear before the group, blissful, inebriated on Samadhi. Surely, the guru intervenes by giving him a few slaps to get him out of that state and bring him back to balance. Otherwise –it is said in pure Zen– one would fall into the Satori disease. Of course, in a state of extraordinary mystical exaltation –at all times, day and night– one forgets that one exists and loses balance in relation to the things of existence, but that is when the guru, with some good slaps, takes one out of that state and balances him.

In the Himalayas, many anchorites lived in caverns and even developed some siddhis, that is, powers. These hermits, through rigorous esoteric disciplines, achieved the Samadhi, and then reveled in it, penetrating the Alaya of the Universe and even losing themselves for some instants in the supreme Parabrahman.

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.

Once disincarnated, and since undoubtedly they had become athletes of the science of Dhyana or meditation, the Essence, momentarily, could even penetrate the planets of the Christ, float in the environment of such planets –which are of a spiritual nature–, unfortunately without being able to enter the guilds of such worlds.

Those hermits who in bygone times locked themselves up in caverns to meditate, nourished out there with herbs and roots from the forest, managed to become athletes of the Samadhi; some even attained the Satori. The Illuminating Void burst into their minds, but they were never able to realize, in themselves, the Illuminating Void. One thing, my dear brothers, is to experience the Illuminating Void and another thing is –truly I tell you– to realize in ourselves the Illuminating Void.

Some of them, on the basis of so much concentration and so many fasts and mortifications, achieved the different states of the Samadhi. One is the simple Samadhi, the other is the Nirvikalpa Samadhi; and there were cases of persons who achieved the Maha-Samadhi –they wanted happiness–. During the sa-madhic state, the Essence unbottles, escapes from within the Ego and moves in the Great Alaya of the Universe. But, once the Samadhi passes, the Essence returns to the Ego.

Those who achieved the Maha-Samadhi, disincarnated. Then those Essences, having unbottled, were able to live on the Planets of the Christ –worlds where there is an eternal nature which is not subjected to change or death, like the nature of our world Earth–. They were able to enjoy that cosmic bliss, but they were not able to establish themselves as dwellers of such worlds of the Christ because of the very fact that they had not dissolved the Ego. After the Ecstasy passes, that Essence returns to the Ego; then one enters a new womb. So, nowadays, many of those who were considered to be saints and liberated persons in Tibet, are at present vulgar, ordinary people.
