Well, my dear brothers, first of all, it is necessary to know the Laws of Gnostic Esoteric Work, if we truly want a radical and definitive change.
In the name of truth, we will say that if we are to start working on ourselves anywhere, it has to be in relation to the MIND and the FEELING.
It would be absurd to start working with the MOTOR CENTER, for example (which, as you already know, is related to the habits, customs, and actions of a particular organ or center). Obviously, this would be like starting with absurd fakirism.
And speaking of fakirs: in India there are fakirs who, for example, raise one arm high and hold it indefinitely, until it becomes rigid. There are others who remain standing in one place for twenty or thirty years, until they become veritable statues; but after all, what do these fakirs gain? They develop a little willpower, and that’s all.
We cannot think that they are going to create the BODY OF CONSCIOUS WILL, it is clear that they will not; no body can be created outside of the “NINTH SPHERE”.
If it were possible to create any body in the absence of the Ninth Sphere, we would have been born from the air, or from the waters of some lake, or from a rock; we would not be children of a man and a woman, but we are, in truth, children of a man and a woman; therefore, creation always takes place in the Ninth Sphere, that is obvious…
Therefore, no fakir could create the Body of Conscious Will outside the Ninth Sphere. Those who practice fakirism gain nothing, then, except to develop a little Willpower, and that is all…
To begin, therefore, with the Motor Center would be absurd; even more so: to begin working with the SEXUAL CENTER without having a correct understanding of the Gnostic Body of Doctrine is simply absurd.
He who starts under those conditions does not know what he is doing, he does not have a clear awareness of the work in the “Forge of the Cyclopes,” and he can obviously fall into very serious errors.
Let us remember that the first Center is the Intellectual, the second the Emotional, the third the Motor, the fourth the Instinctive, and the fifth the Sexual. There is also a sixth, which is the Higher Emotion, and a seventh: the Higher Mental. But if we were to truly begin with the Lower Centers of the organic machine, we would fall into error.
First and foremost, in these studies, we must BEGIN WITH THE INTELLECTUAL and EMOTIONAL CENTERS; we truly need to CHANGE OUR WAY OF THINKING; otherwise, we will walk down the path of error…
What good would it do, for example, for you to attend these lectures if you didn’t change your way of thinking? Here you are given many esoteric exercises, you are given doctrinal guidance, but if you don’t change your way of thinking, what is the point of everything you are given here? You are told that you must dissolve the EGO, you are told that you must SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR HUMANITY, you are told that you must create the HIGHER EXISTENTIAL BODIES OF THE BEING, etc., but if you continue thinking as before, with the same mental habits of other times, what is the point of everything you are hearing here?
You are told that you have to disintegrate the Ego, but you continue with your old mental habits, with your outdated ways and systems of thinking, so what use is the information that is being given to you?
The Holy Scriptures speak very clearly (and specifically, very close to John the Baptist) about “OLD WINE” and “NEW WINE.” “No one would put, for example, ” says Christ, ” new wine into old wineskins, because the old wineskins would burst.”… Therefore, new wine requires new wineskins…
The Great Kabir Jesus also says that “no one would think of mending or patching old clothes with pieces of new clothes.” For example, tearing a new suit to mend an old one. That would be absurd, wouldn’t it?
Likewise, this new Teaching is like new wine: it needs a new wineskin. What is that “wineskin”? Well, the Mind!… If we don’t abandon outdated ways of thinking, if we continue thinking with our old habits, we are simply wasting our time.
There is a need to change the way of thinking; for the “new wine”, a “new wineskin” is needed.
Therefore, we need to completely change our way of thinking in order to receive this Teaching.
That is the serious point of the matter; because if we receive this Teaching and add it to the way we had before, to our old mental habits, well, we are doing nothing (we are deceiving ourselves).
To try to hitch the “cart” of Gnostic Teaching to our “old car” (all damaged by time and full of garbage and filth), is to deceive ourselves.
First and foremost, it is about preparing the vessel to receive the “WINE OF GNOSTIC TEACHING” (that “VESSEL” being the MIND). Only in this way, with a “new vessel,” transformed, with a truly magnificent “vessel,” can one receive that “wine” of Gnostic Teaching; and this is what I want all the brothers to understand…
We need to eliminate NEGATIVE EMOTIONS from ourselves, because these Negative Emotions do not allow for fundamental change.
It is impossible to transform ourselves if we still harbor negative emotions within us. We must eradicate negative emotions from our hearts, as they are truly harmful in every way.
A person who lets themselves be carried away by negative emotions becomes a liar one hundred percent… I already told you in my last lecture about the case of a Mr. XX, who is currently, we could say, on the verge of death.
This good man, then, suffered a stroke. The reason? Very clear, I repeat: someone had falsely informed him that his sister had been the victim of fraud. This report was later examined and found to be false.
But this man, who loves his sister, believed this slanderous rumor and took it so personally that he suffered a stroke. He is now on the verge of death (see this case for yourselves). Therefore, negative emotions lead us to failure…
Her sister remains convinced she was a victim of fraud, and it’s obvious she’s slandering an innocent person, but she’s certain she was the victim. I personally examined the case and realized she was deceiving herself, lying to herself (a victim of negative emotions), and in turn, unconsciously slandering another.
So I told you, and I repeat: Negative emotions make one a liar. Observe how people lie, driven by negative emotions: they make false judgments and then repent, but it’s too late; they’ve already made them. Therefore, we must eliminate negative emotions from our nature. Lying, certainly, is a false connection. Normally, the energy of the Father, the life of the Ancient of Days—that is, of our deep inner being—flows through the inner cosmic organization until it reaches the mind.
But, if we make a false connection, that Energy can no longer flow: It’s as if the electric wire were cut; the electrical energy would then not reach the light bulb or bulbs that illuminate us.
Therefore, lying (as I’ve already said and I’ll say again) is a false connection.
Generally, when one is filled with negative emotions, one becomes a liar; that’s the reality of the situation.
If we truly understand all of this and begin to change the way we think and feel, this will soon be reflected in our actions.
Once you have changed the way you think, feel, and act, then you are perfectly ready to begin working with the MYSTERIES OF SEX…
And that is the mistake some of the Missionaries make: that people begin working with “Maithuna” in the Ninth Sphere without even knowing the Body of Doctrine. This is absurd, because people who haven’t changed their way of thinking, who continue with their same habits; people who have the same ways of feeling, who are victims of Negative Emotions, do not understand these Mysteries of Sex and profane them.
That is why Paracelsus insists that “first of all, one must know Science in order to then begin working in the Ninth Sphere”… (and he is right about this, Felipe Teophrasto Bombasto de Hohenheim, “Aureola Paracelso”).
Let’s begin, then, by changing our way of thinking and feeling. Many receive esoteric teachings here; they are given them, but they continue to think as they did before, as they thought 20 years ago. What happens then? WE ARE WASTING OUR TIME!
If people are given the teachings to achieve self-realization, to change, and they continue to think as before, obviously, things will go very badly.
I know Gnostic brothers and sisters who have been involved in Gnostic teachings for 20 or 30 years and still think the way they did when they were 20 or 30 years old. Very well-educated, yes; they handle the ideas very well, but if you examine their lives and habits closely, you’ll see they’re the same as before.
I know brothers, even very judicious ones, missionaries and all, who speak very well about Gnosis, who handle the Body of Doctrine extraordinarily well, but I’ve been observing them and it turns out they act as they did before they were Gnostics: they act as they did 30 years ago, they have the old habits they had when they knew nothing about these studies, they continue with those same old habits…
So what are those brothers doing? Obviously, they’re miserably deceiving themselves, that much is clear…
Therefore, we must begin by CHANGING the WAY OF THINKING and then the WAY OF FEELING; putting the “new wine”, the “Gnostic Wine” into “new wineskins”, and not into “old wineskins”.
A decrepit mind, full of old habits, habits from 20 and 30 years ago, is not prepared to receive the “Wine of Gnosis”; such a mind necessarily needs to go through a total change; otherwise, it is miserably wasting its time.
With all this in mind, what is it we want to know? Well, to awaken consciousness, right? That’s the truth, that’s what we want: TO AWAKEN!
In the Eastern world, it’s not a secret that people are asleep; no one ignores it. But in the Western world, people believe they are awake, and yet they do things they don’t want to do: they rush into war when they don’t want to go to war (but they always go, even against their will). Why? Because they are hypnotized.
You know that if we order a hypnotized subject, for example, to go and kill someone, they will go and kill them (and that is already covered in the Penal Code of every country on Earth).
The same is true for people everywhere: They are hypnotized but believe they are awake. If they are told that the time has come to go to war, they go to war; they don’t want to go but they go. Why? Because they are hypnotized, and a hypnotized person is hypnotized (this is extremely serious and absolutely true).
That we need to emerge from the hypnotic sleep, that’s true! But let’s see how we emerge from this “hypnotic sleep.” If we are content with our mental habits, with our reasoning system, with our emotional habits, with our various habits or customs, acquired through heredity and family, then, even though we are listening to the teachings here in this room, we are simply wasting our time…
Ask yourselves: Why have you come here? What is the purpose of your being gathered in this room? If you are gathered here out of mere curiosity, then it would have been better if you had not come.
If you are truly motivated by a desire for change, but you remain perfectly happy with your old ways of thinking, you are simply deceiving yourselves.
If you want to hitch the “Gnosis wagon” to your “old train,” which is corroded by time and rotten to the core, then you are playing a very foolish game that will lead you nowhere.
So let’s not fool ourselves. If you want to change, let’s be serious and start by changing the way we think!
Everyone has their own way of thinking, and everyone believes their way of thinking is the most correct. But, in reality, the various ways of thinking, whether individual or collective, are not correct at all, since they are all under the spell of a hypnotic mindset.
How can a hypnotized person think correctly? But you believe you are thinking correctly; therein lies your mistake: Your mental habits are useless…
If you want to change, well, here is the new Teaching, here is the “Wine of Gnosis.” But please, bring “new wineskins” for that “wine,” not “old wineskins!” “Because new wine bursts old wineskins… ”
I am interested in giving the Teaching to the brothers, but giving it seriously. And that’s why I invite you to change your way of thinking…
Have you ever reflected on what “CONSCIOUSNESS” is? What could you compare Consciousness to? Well, to a spotlight that I direct towards one place or another; that’s obvious.
We must learn to place our consciousness where it belongs. Wherever our consciousness is, there we will be.
Those of you listening to me right now, are you sure that each of your Consciences is here? If it is here I am pleased. But are we sure that it is here? It may be at home right now; it may be in the bar; it may be in the supermarket, and we may only be seeing the superficial personality of this or that brother.
So, WHERE CONSCIENCE IS, THERE WE ARE.
Consciousness is something that must be learned to be placed intelligently where it should be placed.
If we place our Conscience in a bar, it will be processed by virtue of the bar; and if we place it in a brothel, it will be processed there; and if we place it in a marketplace, we will have a good merchant or a bad merchant. Wherever Conscience is, there we will be.
Conscience is, unfortunately, bottled up; and a lustful Ego can take our Conscience to a brothel; a drunken Ego can take it to a bar; a greedy Ego will take it over there, to some market; a murderous Ego will take it over there, to the house of some enemy, etc.
Do you think it’s right to NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE ONE’S CONSCIENCE? I understand that it’s absurd to take it to places where it shouldn’t be; that’s obvious.
Unfortunately (I repeat), our consciousness is currently trapped, indeed bottled up, within various inhuman elements that we carry inside. We need to break free from all those elements within which consciousness is trapped.
But I ask: Would we do that if we didn’t change our way of thinking? If we’re perfectly content with our old, outdated, and untimely habits in our minds, would we even bother to awaken our consciousness? Clearly not!
If we want to change, let’s start changing right now; let’s change our mental habits, our way of thinking. When you truly change, it creates inner changes; when you change your way of thinking, you can then think about changing completely from within.
But if one doesn’t change the way of thinking, if the old, outdated habits persist here in this mind, how can one claim to bring about a change in the inner consciousness? That’s impossible! It would be contradictory to think one thing and do another.
It’s really not possible!
So we need to take ownership of our own consciousness, to place it where it belongs, to locate it where it should be located. Learning to put it in a place and learning to remove it is a wonderful gift, but one that we are not using wisely.
Truly, the only thing we have within us is Consciousness (it is the most worthy thing we possess; everything else is unworthy). The various psychic aggregates we have are, in no way worthy. The only worthy thing, the only Real thing, the only thing worthwhile within us, is Consciousness; but it is dormant, we don’t know how to manage it: the psychic aggregates take it wherever they please.
We don’t really know how to use it, and that’s truly regrettable. If we want change, but fundamental change, we must also learn what this thing called “Conscience” actually is…
In the Eastern World we have been told that“before the BODHISATTVA is born in us, the BODHICITTA must arise in us.”
But first of all, what exactly is this thing called a “Bodhisattva”? (Some of you will know, and some of you won’t.)
Blavatsky says that “a Master who possesses the Causal, Mental, Astral, and Physical Bodies is a Bodhisattva; that the Human Soul or Causal Soul, clothed in such Bodies, is a Bodhisattva”…
She makes a full distinction between the Master himself, who is ATMAN-BUDDHI, that is, the INTIMATE, and the SOUL-CONSCIOUSNESS, and the BODHISATTVA, who is the HUMAN SOUL clothed with the HIGHER EXISTENTIAL BODIES OF THE BEING.
But Mahayana Buddhism, or Mahayan Buddhism, is more demanding: It only recognizes as “Bodhisattvas” those who have SACRIFICED THEMSELVES FOR HUMANITY through successive Maha-Manvantaras.
“There are two kinds (says Mahayana Buddhism) of Beings”: some, for example, would be the “BUDDHAS PRATYEKAS,” and others, aspirants to “Buddha Pratyekas” (who are the “SRAVAKAS”), never sacrifice themselves for humanity—never. They do strive to change (and they do change), but they never give their lives for their brothers and sisters, and, of course, they never embody the Inner Christ either…
The others are the true Bodhisattvas, those who have renounced the bliss of Nirvana for the love of humanity; those who, in different Maha-Manvantaras, have offered their blood for humanity; who, though able to live happily in Nirvana, have renounced all happiness for their brothers and sisters on Earth. They are the only ones who can truly incarnate Christ…
But anyway, let’s get back to this “Bodhicitta”… What is “BODHICITTA”? It is the “AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS”, developed, transformed into the “GOLDEN EMBRYO”; it is the true “SILVER ARMOR” that can protect us from the Powers of Darkness, that gives us Wisdom, experience.
Before a Bodhisattva arises within someone, there arises Bodhicitta, that is, awakened and developed Consciousness… You see, then, how valuable is that Gift called Consciousness.
It’s a shame that humanity’s Consciousness is trapped within the Ego! And it’s clear that, as long as people continue to think as they do, feel as they feel, and with their same old stale habits, they will not be able to awaken their Consciousness (it will remain hypnotized).
And in sequence, or as a corollary, we will say: That Bodhicitta will never arise in such people.
When Bodhicitta (which is the developed and awakened Consciousness) arises in one, in the aspirant, then soon appears, the Bodhisattva.
Obviously, the Bodhisattva develops within the psychological climate of Bodhicitta. Bodhicitta is magnificent!
Truly, my dear brothers, it is truly great when one genuinely changes their way of thinking; because then, and only then, will they work to awaken Consciousness. Then, and only then, will he do serious work that leads to the birth of Bodhicitta. Before, it’s not possible…
We live in a painful world (unfortunately). You are all full of pain and suffering… Happiness? It doesn’t exist in this world, it’s not possible; as long as there is ego, there must be pain; as long as we continue with our outdated way of thinking, we cannot be happy; as long as we are victims of negative emotions, any kind of happiness becomes impossible…
We truly need to achieve HAPPINESS; but we could not achieve such an accomplishment if we did not awaken our Consciousness, and we would never awaken our Consciousness if we continued with our current way of thinking.
Therefore, let’s first examine how we are thinking; let’s change that outdated way of thinking, let’s prepare “new wineskins” for the “new wine,” which is Gnosis, and in this way we will truly work, and seriously…
This world, in itself, is the product of the Law of Origination; this world is sustained by the Laws of Cause and Effect, which are the Laws of Karma (also called the Laws of Action and Consequence: such action, such consequence). This is a rather complex world: It is a world of associations, multiple combinations, incessant dualism, the struggle of opposites, etc.
Under these circumstances, happiness is impossible in this world. Each of us has to pay our karma (we are burdened with debt). This karma, obviously, brings us much pain and bitterness; we are not happy.
Many believe that we could achieve happiness through the mechanics of evolution.
It’s a false concept, because mechanics is mechanics. The Law of Evolution, and also the Law of Devolution, constitute the mechanical axis of this machinery called Nature.
There is evolution in the seed that germinates, in the plant that develops, and finally, bears fruit.
There is involution in the plant that already enters into decrepitude and finally becomes a pile of wood.
There is evolution in the child who is formed in the maternal womb, in the creature who is born, who grows, and who develops and lives in the sunlight.
But there is also involution in the human being who ages, declines, enters into decrepitude, and finally, dies… That is completely mechanical.
The Law of Karma is also mechanical, in a certain sense, in the “causal” sense (viewed in light of the TWELVE DIDANAS). There is mechanics at work there…
We need to free ourselves, precisely, from the Law of Karma. We need to free ourselves from that mechanical movement of Nature; we need to make ourselves free, and this will not be through Mechanical Evolution.
Any Mechanical Evolution is processed according to the Laws of Cause and Effect, the Laws of Associations, of Mutual Combinations, etc. (What is mechanical, is mechanical).
We need to free ourselves from the Law of Evolution and also from the Law of Involution; we need to take the “GREAT LEAP” to fall into the ILLUMINATING VOID.
Obviously, there is an antithesis between the “Theory of Relativity” preached by Einstein and the Illuminating Void. RELATIVE IS RELATIVE; the Machinery of Relativity operates with the Law of Opposites, with Dualism, etc.
In the “struggle of antitheses,” there is pain, and that is not happiness. If we want true happiness, we must break free from this mechanics of relativity, take the great leap, I repeat, to fall into the bosom of the illuminating void.
I experienced the Illuminating Void in my youth; I was barely 18 years old when I was able to take the Great Leap: to go beyond time and experience That which is not of time, that which we could call “THE EXPERIENCE OF PRAJÑA-PARAMITA” (in its rawest realism).
It’s worth emphasizing to you that this experience was repeated three times. I then learned what “SUNYATA” was; I was able to experience it…
In the Illuminating Void, conceptual dualism of any kind does not exist. The Machinery of Relativity would not function in the Illuminating Void; the LAW OF MUTUAL COMBINATIONS AND MECHANICAL ASSOCIATIONS is not possible in the Illuminating Void. Einstein’s entire “Theory of Relativity” would be destroyed in the Illuminating Void.
Undoubtedly, the experience of the Illuminating Void is only possible in a state of SAMADHI…
In the state of Samadhi, or as it is also called, in the state of “Prajña-Paramita…”
In the Illuminating Void, forms of any kind do not exist; one could say that there one passes beyond the Universe and the Gods. In the Illuminating Void, a correct answer can be given to the question: “If the entire Universe is reduced to Unity, to what would Unity be reduced?” Such an answer is not possible for the Logical Mind, or at least for the Mind that functions according to Formal Logic; but in the Illuminating Void, such an answer is unnecessary; such an answer there is a manifest, defined reality: “If all things are reduced to Unity, then Unity is also reduced to all things.”
So, whoever enters that state, of MAHA-SAMADHI, let’s say, lives in all things devoid of form, and this, in itself, is already grand, sublime, and ineffable…
To fully immerse oneself in Sunyata, that is, in the ultimate Illuminating Void, is only possible through the Great Leap Forward, which is the definitive condition of having undergone TOTAL BUDDHIST ANNIHILATION; otherwise, it would not be possible…
At that time, I had not yet experienced Buddhist Annihilation, and obviously, as I approached the Great Reality, Consciousness expanded immeasurably. It is clear that in this situation, not having undergone Buddhist Annihilation, I felt unspeakable terror, which is why I returned to Einstein’s Universe of Relativity…
I repeat: Three times I experienced the Illuminating Void, and I knew, in the Sunyata (transcendental experience), that there is something beyond the Void, what? That which is called “TALITY” The Great Reality…
I knew it through a transcendental intuition, because in the realm of intuition, or within the world of intuitionality, there are different degrees of intuition. Undoubtedly, the highest degree of intuition is that of PHILOSOPHICAL- RELIGIOUS or PHILOSOPHICAL-MISTIC MINDS.
It is the type of intuition that corresponds to Prajña-Paramita.
This Faculty, therefore, allowed me to know that beyond the World of the Illuminating Void, there is the Great Reality.
Well, I want to emphatically state to you that this Path of Gnosis leads to the Great Reality. The Great Reality, or Tality (Sunyata, Prajña-Paramita), is beyond the Universe of Relativity, that is, beyond the Mechanics of Relativity; and far beyond the Illuminating Void…
That is to say, Tality transcends these two opposites, which I would call: “MECHANICS OF RELATIVITY” and “ILLUMINATING VOID.” The Illuminating Void is not the final word; it is the antechamber of Tality, that is, of the Great Reality.
I am speaking to you, not merely in a theoretical way. In past Maha-Manvantaras I experienced Tality, and as I know it, I must bear living witness to it…
What is important for us is to go through a SUPREME ANNIHILATION, so that Consciousness (transformed into Bodhicitta and fully awakened), can take the Great Leap to fall into the Illuminating Void (one more step and we will reach Tality,).
But, as I say, we must begin by changing our way of thinking in order to work correctly on ourselves. By truly disintegrating the undesirable psychic elements we carry within us, we could achieve the awakening of consciousness and the development of Bodhicitta. If only we could change our way of thinking above all else!
It is necessary to KNOW HOW TO MEDITATE, to understand the technique of meditation. The purpose of meditation is very simple: What do we want through meditation? To find tranquility, peace of mind…
What we’re saying might seem rather superfluous, and you could object that “we could calm ourselves with a bottle of wine,” right? That’s clear. You could also object that “we could calm ourselves by listening to a Beethoven symphony.” That’s what you might say…
But in reality, truly achieving tranquility is the most difficult thing you can imagine. So no one can have peace of mind, a truly peaceful mind, if they haven’t eliminated all the outdated and untimely thoughts they carry from their intellectual center. No one can have peace in their heart if they haven’t previously eliminated negative and harmful emotions from themselves.
So when a Gnostic, a Gnostic Arhat, immerses himself in meditation, he seeks tranquility.
At that moment, he proposes to work on some inhuman element that he has discovered in himself through SELF-OBSERVATION.
Perhaps he discovered anger. Well, he will then dedicate himself to understanding the psychic aggregate of anger, until he turns it to dust with the help of the DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI (whom he must invoke for assistance).
Or perhaps he discovered that he possesses the psychic aggregate of hatred. He will then set out to disintegrate this aggregate, so that LOVE may arise in its place.
As one gradually disintegrates all those inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry within us, Consciousness will awaken.
Much is said in Gnosis about sex, but we must first change our way of thinking so that we can acquire valuable information and become more conscious of the teachings. Only then will we be able to work successfully in the “FIERY FORGE OF VULCAN.”
We do not wish to avoid the Sexual Mysteries in any way tonight. It is important that you understand that the PATH that leads to Tality IS (and I emphasize this completely) ABSOLUTELY SEXUAL and this must be understood.
Undoubtedly, a single man or woman can dissolve (through much comprehension) 50% of psychic aggregates, provided that the Divine Mother Kundalini is invoked during meditation.
However, there are very heavy psychic elements that correspond to the World of the 96 Laws. These only disintegrate with the “ELECTRIC MINCER” of the physicists, with the SWASTIKA in motion, which generates a certain type of “Transcendent Sexual Electricity”.
Obviously, then, the “Serpent Woman,” that is, Princess Kundalini, the Divine Cosmic Mother, is strengthened by this type of “electricity.” And then, with her Electrical Power, she can atomically disintegrate the heaviest psychic elements in which Consciousness is trapped.
Thus, little by little, the moment arrives when Consciousness is completely freed and awakened, ready to take the Great Leap and fall into the Illuminating Void (which is the prelude to the Great Reality).
In this world, we have been criticized too much for placing emphasis on sex. Many assume that there are many paths that can lead to the Great Reality.
Obviously, everyone is free to think as they wish, but in the name of Truth and through Direct Mystical Experience, accumulated deep within my Consciousness through successive Maha-Manvantaras, I can tell you that the path that leads directly to the Great Reality, to Tality, beyond the Illuminating Void and the Mechanics of Relativity, is absolutely sexual, one hundred percent.
Those who disagree on this issue, reveal through this psychological approach, ignorance of the harsh reality.
It is obvious that anyone who has had real experience in these matters (through successive Maha-Manvantaras) knows very well that this is so, and that it is not possible to escape, definitively, from this Mechanics of Relativity, through any other door or any other path than the “Direct” one, the one that leads to the Great Reality.
Sunyata is a very interesting Buddhist term that perfectly indicates the vivid mystical experience of one who has not only experienced the “Illuminating Emptiness,” but… I repeat: Within the strictly mystical-Buddhist realm, I disagree with many mystics or orthodox Buddhists who place the Illuminating Emptiness as the ultimate goal.
We, the Gnostics, go beyond the Mechanics of Relativity; beyond this machinery of Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity,” based on “conceptual dualism,” and also, far beyond the Illuminating Void…
We want the Great Reality. The vivid experience: Sunyata; the vivid experience of the Prajña-Paramitas…
Thank God, we have Consciousness within us. It is, precisely, the most precious gift; it’s a pity it’s trapped within the Ego. But if we manage to liberate Consciousness, then we will be ready for the Great Leap, for the Supreme Leap.
A liberated consciousness is a consciousness that can immerse itself in the Great Reality of Life, free in its movement. This Great Reality is inexhaustible happiness, beyond the Body of Affections and the Mind. It is a happiness impossible to describe with words…
We all want happiness, yet we don’t have it. We need to be happy. But happiness is impossible in a world of combinations; happiness is impossible within this machinery of relativity.
Remember that the EGO IS TIME; that the Ego is a book of many volumes and that it is subject to the Laws of Cause and Effect.
It’s time we think about freeing ourselves from karma; freeing ourselves from this painful world, from this infernal machine. It’s time we think about the true bliss of the Great Reality…
Therefore, I invite you tonight to CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING. Because if you change, you can work on yourselves to liberate your Conscience. But if you don’t change your way of thinking, if you only want this doctrine to “hitch” it onto your “train” (just another “car” hitched to your old, decrepit, and degenerate “train”), then you are wasting your time.
I want happiness for you, the true joy of being! So, my dear brothers and sisters, that concludes our talk for tonight…
However, there is something I must add before concluding this talk: We need you to LEARN TO MEDITATE DEEPLY; to know how to meditate. When one has achieved true concentration, one reaches true bliss…
You see: If I hadn’t had the experience of the Illuminating Void in my youth, I wouldn’t be speaking to you now in the way I am… That vivid experience was never erased from my Consciousness, nor from my Mind, nor from my Heart…
It is possible that in one of these Samadhis, that is, in a practice of Deep Meditation, the Consciousness of a human being can escape from the Ego, to experience the bliss of the Illuminating Emptiness.
It is obvious that, if he succeeds, he will gladly work on himself; he will work with ardence, because he will have certainly experienced, in the absence of the Ego, “That” which is Truth, “That” which is not of time, “That” which is beyond the Body, the Affections, and the Mind…
Here, I have shown you a simple way to meditate, because there is a type of meditation dedicated to the self-exploration of the ego, with the purpose of disintegrating it, of reducing it to ashes. But there is also another type of meditation, whose objective is to one day reach the experience of reality…
I hope you succeed, so that you feel encouraged inwardly and work on yourselves! However, I believe it is necessary to have some kind of mantra that will work.
The mantra I’m going to give you tonight is very simple. I already gave you one word of that mantra in a past talk, and you’ll remember it: “GATE”.
But tonight I am going to give you, in full, the words of the entire mantra: GATE, GATE, PARAGATE, PARASAMGATE, BODHI, SUA, HA.
It must have been recorded on the tape recorders and also in our hearts… I repeat: GATE, GATE, PARAGATE, PARASAMGATE, BODHI, SUA, HA.
This mantra is pronounced softly, or with the Mind and Heart. It can also be used as a “Silenced Word.” Because there are two kinds of “Word”: “SPOKEN WORD” and “SILENCED WORD.”
The Silenced Word is powerful…
The body is completely relaxed, and after relaxing, it is surrendered completely to its Deep Inner God, without thinking of anything; only reciting, with the Mind and Heart, the complete mantra: GATE, GATE, PARAGATE, PARASAMGATE, BODHI, SUA, HA.
The meditation must be very deep, very profound; eyes closed, body relaxed, completely surrendered to your Inner God… Not a single thought should be admitted in those moments… The surrender to your God must be total and only the mantra should resonate in your Heart…
This mantra, I understand, opens the “EYE OF DANGMA.” This profound mantra will one day lead you to experience, in the absence of the Ego, the Illuminating Emptiness. Then you will know what Sunyata is; then you will understand what Prajña-Paramita is.
Perseverance is what’s needed; with this mantra you can go very far!
It is worthwhile to experience the Great Reality at least once in one’s life. For in this way one is filled with the courage to struggle against oneself. That is the advantage of Sunyata; that is the greatest advantage there is in relation to the experience of the Real…

[Continue repeating several times].
Keep repeating…
Samael Aun Weor
