Seven Minds and Seven Truths

 Avalokitesvara

Let us begin our lecture for tonight. I urge everyone to apply maximum attention.

Above all, we must remember that there are seven sublime lords and seven truths, and
this invites us to reflect.

Indeed, there are seven Dhyani Buddhas. Up to this Aryan race, five have truthfully
acted. In the future two root races, two shall come: the sixth for the sixth root race, and
the seventh for the seventh root race. The one who is here, inside my insignificant,
worthless person, is the fifth, and the latest in this root race.

Notwithstanding, we must make a full differentiation between Buddhas of

Contemplation and terrestrial Bodhisattvas. Unquestionably, Buddhas of Contemplation
are prototypes of the terrestrial Bodhisattvas. Buddhas of Contemplation, in
themselves, are Father-Mother, because every Buddha is dual. In any Buddha there is
a masculine principle, the Father, and a feminine principle, the Divine Mother Kundalini
Shakti.

Some eastern authors think that Anupadaka — that is to say, the Buddha of
Contemplation (because of the fact of being in itself the Father-Mother, the glorious
complement of any terrestrial Bodhisattva) — is Fatherless and Motherless. This
concept seems wrong to me, because any Buddha of Contemplation, any Father-
Mother (a glorious complement of the Bodhisattva) obviously has emanated from the
eternal, common, cosmic Father (this must be understood) and of the unmanifested
Divine Mother, the unmanifested Prakriti. The cosmic, common, eternal Father is dual,
is Father-Mother in itself. In turn, from it emanates the Buddha of Contemplation, who
is the particular Father-Mother of any Bodhisattva, and you all must understand this…
Therefore, I do not think that Anupadaka, the Father-Mother, is an orphan. I think that
the inner Father-Mother of each one of us emanates from the eternal, common, cosmic
Father-Mother, that is coessential with Absolute Abstract Space. So, I allow myself to
dissent with some authors regarding the term “Anupadaka" — that is, the Buddha of
Contemplation — being devoid of Father and Mother, just for the fact of being in himself
the Father and Mother of a Bodhisattva. Indeed, Anupadaka is something more than
that. Anupadaka is the Buddha of Contemplation that has emanated from the eternal,
common, cosmic Father-Mother.

Each one of us has their Father who is in secret, and each one of us has their Divine
Mother Kundalini. The Bodhisattvas of the Buddhas of Contemplation are no exception:
we are an unfoldment of the Father-Mother, and we appear here amidst humanity in
order to show the path, the way, to others. It is necessary to you all to keep
understanding all of this…

Obviously, we seven are the prototypes for all the Buddhas of this planet Earth. This
does not signify that the Buddhas in themselves do not have their individual prototype,
their Father-Mother. We only clarify that the seven in themselves constitute the
prototype for any Buddha, and one has to learn how to understand this...

Thus, there are seven sublime lords and seven truths. Each truth is contained within
each one of the seven. If my inner profound God has the truth about power, obviously
the god of Mercury, Rafael, will have the truth about science, about wisdom, and Saturn
/ Orifiel about death, etc. So, there are seven truths, this is obvious. But what I am
stating is repeated in every human being…

Seven Minds
Much has been said about the mind, as if truly there was only one mind. Yet, indeed,
there are seven minds.
We might call the first the "intellectual mind," yet if we begin from the bottom to the top
so that this can be understood better, we may say that the first is the instinctual mind,
second the emotional mind, third the mental mind; the fourth the balanced mind, etc.

All of these seven minds are significant, very important. That the instinct has mind is
true. That the emotional center has mind is true. That the intellectual center has mind is
also true. Who could deny it? That the motor center has mind, no one can deny. There
are seven minds.

One is astounded, for example, by the instinctual mind, how it marvelously controls the
organic processes! One is astonished by the sexual mind, how it governs the sexual
activities of human beings! One is perplexed by the motor mind, how it wisely directs
the movements in the organism! Likewise, one is astonished by the emotional mind,
and by the intellectual mind.

Yet, do not forget that the three lower centers of the organic machine — namely the
sexual, motor, and instinctual centers — form a formidable triangle, a splendid triangle
that can perfectly handle the three forces (positive, negative and neutral) of electricity.
That surprises us, indeed.

As for the purely emotional mind, obviously it leaves us with too much to think about,
since emotion also has mind. And regarding the intellectual mind, we all know it.

So, therefore, the instinctual, motor, sexual centers, the emotional center and
intellectual center, etc., have mind.

Moreover, there are two types of superior mind. These are the superior emotional mind
and the superior mental mind. Unfortunately, these kind of mind are inaccessible,
unavailable, ungraspable to present humans…

Whosoever wants to really truthfully be in contact with the superior emotional mind and
the superior mental mind must achieve taking the personality to a passive state. And
whosoever wants to live continuously in contact with these two superior centers (the
superior emotional mind and the mental superior mind) must disintegrate not only the
ego, but also the personality.

Much has been said about the centers of the human machine. Much has been said,
perfectly, about the instinctual center, about the emotional center, about the mental
center, and about the motor and the sexual centers. Indeed, much has been said, truly,
much has been talked about, yet what has not been clarified is that each of these five
centers has mind, and that the superior emotional mind and the superior mental mind
are the two highest minds. Thus, each of these minds of the five centers of the organic
machine — the intellectual, emotional, motor, instinctual and sexual have their own
mind. And the superior emotional and superior mental centers each have their mind.

Therefore, there are seven minds, seven spheres of action for the mind. Seven are the
minds, and within each one of them is contained a truth. These seven minds contain
the seven truths. This is why the brothers and sisters must understand the relationship
between the macrocosm and the microcosm. Once one understands this, one can
proceed.

These seven minds fully control the organism, especially the five, as I already said. The
two superiors minds are presently inaccessible to ordinary humans. Yet the five minds
from the intellectual, emotional, motor, instinctual and sexual centers completely control
the organic machine.

These seven minds regulate all of our activities. Unfortunately, we always have a bad
secretary in the intellect, and this is the ego, the “I.”

The Ego
Humans have three brains. These are related to the five centers of the human
machine. Intellect, emotion, movement, instinct, and sex relate to the same human
machine.

The intellectual center, the emotional center, and motor center are worthy of attention.
Obviously, the motor, instinctual, and sexual centers form a perfect triangle. The motor,
instinctual, and sexual centers do not have any kind of antagonisms with each other.
So, this is why we generally speak about three brains: intellectual brain, emotional
brain, and motor-instinctual-sexual brain...
As I already said, we have a bad secretary who is responsible for sending messages,
sending representations, sending impressions to the wrong centers. For instance, this
bad secretary sends an impression to the instinctual center when it should not have
been sent to the instinctual center but to the sexual center, or an impression that should
be sent to the intellectual center is sent to the emotional center, or an impression that
should be sent to the emotional center is sent to the motor-instinctual-sexual center.
Thus, human beings live in a completely mistaken way due to their ego, the “I,” the
myself, the self-willed, and that is the big problem.

These seven minds would work wonderfully if within us there was not such a lousy
secretary, that ego, the “I”, the myself, the self-willed; behold the grave fact of the
matter.

Up in the macrocosm, the seven planetary spheres work in perfect harmony; everything
goes correctly. Unfortunately, down here in the microcosm, man, everything goes
wrong: the seven minds operate in a more or less abnormal manner due to the ego.
For instance, messages that are for the intellectual center reach the sexual center;
messages that are for the emotional center reach the motor center. Conclusion: the
whole world lives in a mistaken way. What is for the intellect reaches sex, what is for
sex reaches the intellect, what is for the emotional center reaches the instinctual center.
Under these conditions, the whole world is wrong. The seven minds function wrongly
due to ego, due to the “I,” due to the “myself.”

Not so up there in the macrocosm; there the seven minds march wonderfully. Why?
Because there everything is in harmony. Each of the seven planets has its own mind,
and every one of those minds marches in a perfect concordance with the whole
cosmos; behold this interesting order.

Now, regarding the seven Buddhas, they have their synthesis in Avalokitesvara. Who is
Avalokitesvara? It is the synthesis of the seven, it is the Logos, strictly the Solar Logos.
Gautama Shakyamuni, for example, is the Bodhisattva of Amita Buddha / Amitabha,
yet Gautama is just the terrestrial Bodhisattva. What is important in Gautama is the
Buddha of Contemplation; this is what is fundamental.
 Amitabha

Whosoever reaches the Buddhic state has done so because of placing the seven
minds in order. Yet, in order to reach the Buddhic state, it is first necessary to have
passed through the Buddhist annihilation, which means to have disintegrated the ego,
the “I,” the myself, the self-willed. After one has passed through the Buddhist
annihilation, the seven minds march in perfect harmony with the whole cosmos, thus
the human is perfect in the fullest sense of the word.
But, while the ego continues to exist, the seven minds will be in disharmony, in riots, in
bad situations, managed by a lousy secretary (the ego), which — as I already said and
I repeat again — sends messages that are for one center to another center, causing
chaos within us, causing chaos within our seven minds.

We therefore need to accelerate the process of the disintegration of the ego, and for
this the sacred fire, the Fohat, is necessary.

Electricity and the Sacred Fire

Obviously, Fohat is one way during manifestation, yet outside of this three-dimensional
Euclidean world Fohat is different. During unmanifestation and in the cosmic nights,
Fohat is the transcendental sexual electricity. Unquestionably, in the dawn of any
creation electricity is what organizes the atoms within molecules. Fohat organizes,
makes, etc.

Some think that electricity emerges from an individual entity, from one of the many
beings who belong to the Army of the Great Word, yet in reality and truthfully I say
electricity emerges directly from the Ancient of Days. The glory of Shekinah emerges
from the Ancient of the Centuries, the Father, “who is in secret.”

Unquestionably, in herself the Shekinah has the power to arrange the atoms within
molecules, the power to organize the worlds. In her are the needed possibilities for the
making of any creation. For such reason, my dear sisters and brothers, I understand
that electricity itself is sacred, that we must see electricity with profound respect, with
great veneration…

The Seven Seals of Revelation

This talk about the Seven Minds is also related to the number seven. We know that the
cubic stone has seven aspects, and that the seven cardinal points are in the cubic
stone. The side facing up is the fifth cardinal point, and the one facing down is the sixth
point, while in the center is the seventh. Thus, in the center of the cubic stone of Yesod,
in the center of the Cubic Philosopher's Stone, the Master has to be measured; there
he is crucified. To understand what his degree of intimate Self-realization is, he has to
be measured in relation to the stone.

The adept who has reached the seventh qualified degree, who has reached the
seventh qualified initiation is obviously perfectly handling the seven minds, and after
having disintegrated the ego and the personality receives the baptism of fire, and this is
transcendental. This is why in the Revelation of Saint John, when arriving at the
seventh seal, when the seventh seal is opened, it is stated by the voice of the seventh
angel that, "the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants
the prophets.”

There are seven seals, seven cups, and seven trumpets; this is something that none of
you can deny. Indeed, the Revelation of Saint John is the book of wisdom. It is the book
that the Apostle James the Greater has rolled in his right hand. It is the book that
guides the alchemists. Without the book of Revelation, the science of the Great Work
cannot be understood.

We have to live the "Apocalypse" externally or internally. If we live it externally with all
of humanity, we have pass through the abyss and the Second Death (the Bible
indicates it; the Bible begins with the creation of humanity and ends with the judgment
of humanity). Thus, the "Apocalypse" is transcendental.

Revelation addresses the seven angels. The Bible is sacred, especially the
“Apocalypse,” because the "Apocalypse" is an Hermetic book.

The initiate has to break each of the seven seals.

The first seal belongs to the physical body. When the initiate breaks that seal, he knows
the mysteries of the abyss.

The second seal corresponds to the vital organic depth, the linga sarira of the
Hindustani, and when the initiate breaks that seal he knows about the science that
corresponds to the beheading of John the Baptist.

When the third seal is broken, which belongs to the astral body, the initiate knows all
the mysteries of the astral world; his vehicle sidereal becomes a vehicle of pure gold.

When the fourth seal is broken, which corresponds to the mental world, the initiate
obviously knows all of the mysteries of the universal mind, knows about the seven
minds, which he has properly organized. His mind, in synthesis, has become
christified.

When the fifth seal is broken, which is the seal of the world of the conscious will,
obviously the initiate becomes the Son of Man.

When the sixth seal is broken, which corresponds to the consciousness or the buddhic
or intuitional body, the initiate knows the mysteries of the soul-spirit, the mysteries of
the consciousness.

And when the seventh seal is broken, which belongs precisely to Shiva-Tattva, the
initiate then knows the mysteries of the Being.

There are seven seals to tear, one by one. The one who tears the seventh seal
receives the baptism of fire and remains illuminated within. This is what our sisters and
brothers should understand.

The Lack of Progress

But many complain for the lack of illumination; they say to themselves, "Well, as much
as I have I have worked, as much as I have studied, and finally, as much as I suffered,
still nothing, enlightenment does not reach me. Nothing, nothing! nothing! What is going
on with me?"

They protest because their chakras do not develop. They protest because they cannot
consciously go out in their astral body. They protest that they do not know how to travel
in the Mental Body. They protest because they cannot visit the White Lodge at will.
They protest that they still are asleep, unconscious. Yet, they do not realize that they
have not organized their seven minds, and they cannot organize their seven minds as
long as the ego continues to exist within them. They have their ego very alive, fat, and
robust, and like that they are complaining! So, how inaccurate are these brothers and
sisters to complain when their ego is alive?

As long as the ego is alive, the right to enlightenment is impossible. From where are we
going to get enlightenment if our consciousness is bottled up within the ego? From
where are going to get enlightenment? That is impossible!

Dissolve the ego, brothers and sisters, and you will become enlightened. Dissolve the
ego, and your seven minds will become marvelously organized. Because as long as
you do not dissolve your ego, the seven minds of your seven centers remain altered.
So, really and truthfully, we must work on ourselves in order to organize the seven
minds. Only those who have worked very hard upon themselves know what it is to tear
of the seventh seal, and what it is to receive the Baptism of Fire.

Whosoever tears the seventh seal and receives the baptism of fire enters into contact
with the various parts of one’s profound inner Being. This is how enlightenment occurs.

One becomes astonished when one knows that the twelve apostles of Christ are within
oneself. And so it is: they are.

There are twelve cosmic powers within each human being, within one’s own inner
profound Being. When one knows how to be in contact with these twelve interior
powers, then one becomes enlightened, then one no longer has to complain. Yet while
one is not in contact with these twelve powers, from where is one going to get wisdom?
From where is one going to get enlightenment? From where is one going to get these
powers?

There are also twenty-four emanations, twenty-four elders, who are twenty-four parts of
our Being. How could we indeed know anything about the zodiac, something not
merely from that mechanical astrology or that amusement park astrology, if one is not
in direct contact with the twenty-four emanations? Within us, therefore, there are many
marvels...

It has been also stated, and quite clearly, that there are three kinds of relationships:

First, the relationship with one’s own body. If one does not know how to relate with
one’s own body, it gets sick and dies.

Second, the relationship with the external environment. If one does not know how to
relate with one’s fellows, one originates conflicts and problems.

Nevertheless, the third type of relationship is the most important: the relationship with
each of the parts of our own profound inner Being.

One cannot relate with the seven or with the twelve, nor with the twenty-four, nor with
the four, etc., etc., etc., if one has not previously eliminated one’s psychic aggregates
[egos]. When one eliminates one’s psychic aggregates, then the seven minds are
organized. When one’s seven minds are organized, one knows the seven truths. When
one knows the seven truths, one knows the seven sublime lords, which exist within
each one of us. Yet, if one has not eliminated the ego, one has not organized one’s
seven minds, then, not by a long shot can one contact the seven sublime lords. Thus,
one is resigned to live in ignorance, in error.

So, my dear sisters and brothers, you must comprehend the necessity of working upon
yourselves better. Understand that the intellectual center, the emotional, the motor, the
instinctual, the intellectual, and the sexual centers each have their own mind.
Understand that the superior centers (superior emotional and superior mental) each
have their own mind, that there are seven minds, and that there are seven truths, and
seven sublime lords within us, here and now.

Understand that what I am stating about the human being correlates with the
macrocosm. The seven truths, the seven sublime lords, and the seven minds correlate
with the seven planets, because the macrocosm and the microcosm correlate: as
above, so below. Understand, therefore, the concordance between the macrocosm and
the microcosm, and work upon yourselves.

Here within me is the fifth of seven, who is the last in this root race. Yet, in the sixth root
race, at the end of the sixth root race, the sixth will come. And much later, at the end of
the seventh root race, the seventh will come. Each of the seven fulfills his work, his
mission, with seven root races that have to be on the planet Earth. So far, there have
been five root races. The sixth is next, and later the seventh.

There are also seven important chakras in the spinal cord, and this is not ignored by
you. Everyone knows what the seven churches are, this is obvious. There are seven
musical notes, seven arts, etc.

Jacob represents the soul of Malkuth, the consciousness of the physical body, the first
 level of the ladder

The number seven is the scale, thus at the seventh scale, the master receives the
baptism of fire. Christ baptizes us with fire, John with water. In Jacob's ladder, [on the
second level] we are baptized with water, and on the seventh level we are baptized with
fire.

It is necessary for the brothers and sisters to understand all of this, and to take
seriously this issue about the dissolution of the ego, because when the ego is
disintegrated, I repeat, the seven minds are organized, perfect, then we know the
seven truths and the seven sublime lords within us, here and now.

Questions and Answers

Well, brothers and sisters, now I give you full freedom to ask what you have to ask, but
do not forget, brothers and sisters, that the questions asked must be related to the
topic, and at its level, because here we are not in the antechamber, or First or Second
Chamber, but Third Chamber...

Disciple: Master, about the Buddhas of Contemplation, I have a profound interest in

knowing how the Buddhas of Contemplation differ from the Buddhas of Compassion. I
have understood that there have been thirty-two Buddhas of Compassion, and that the
last of them was reincarnated on Earth about 34,000 years ago. Given what you said, it
would be interesting to know how the Buddha of Compassion differs from the Buddha
of Contemplation.

Master: With pleasure. Above all we must clarify the following: Seven are the prototype
Buddhas whose synthesis is Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha-Logos. Very well, thereafter
comes a great quantity of Buddhas who have to march according with the prototype of
the seven. Even when amongst such quantity, each one of them have their ray or
individual prototype, their own Buddha of Contemplation.

Within the term "Buddha of Contemplation” — who is the Father-Mother of any

Bodhisattva — there exist a great quantity of virtues, facets, etc. For instance, one
Buddha of Contemplation could be specialized in power, another Buddha of
Contemplation could be specialized in science, another could be specialized in art,
another in the laws, etc., yet, this does not signify for that reason that there are no
Buddhas of Compassion amongst the wisdom Buddhas, the Buddhas of science, no!
What happens is that the term "Buddha of Contemplation" is always related with the
divine prototype of any Bodhisattva, with the glorious complement of any Bodhisattva,
be this protoype of whatever nature.

Therefore the Buddhas of Contemplation are unquestionably specialized, some in this

branch, others in another branch. This is how one must understand this Buddhic
matter...

Disciple: Venerable Master, which mind is related with the remembering of the Self and
self-observation?

Master: Well, obviously the remembering of the Self is related to the superior mental
center, likewise self-observation. However, I think, and I have always said that the
emotional center (I am specifically addressing the superior emotional center) has more
penetrability, more omniscience, more sapience, thus it is more important.

Remember that the entire Bible, beginning with the creation of the human being in
Genesis and ending with the judgment of humanity in "Revelation," is written with the
superior emotional center, in the language of parables, and hence the sapience
contained in each verse. That is all.

Disciple: Master, you told us about the twelve apostles. I would like you to explain to
me what part of the body each one of them is governing, since I only know some...

Master: Obviously, the twelve apostles within every human being relate, some with one
organ, others with other organs, yet really, truthfully, not in a specific manner with this
or that organ, since each of them know in themselves the science of the organs. I say
this because it so happens that inside us are the twelve emanations, inside us are the
four, inside us is the lion of the law, inside us is the individual Anubis, inside us is
Minerva, etc. Thus, indeed, it is truthfully clear that among themselves, together, all the
parts of the Being control the various facets of the human body, and not specifically one
part, thus to say that one part only controls one particular organ, and another part
another organ is wrong; if that were so, these entities would be merely mechanical
creatures, and that is not so.
 The Twelve Apostles of Christ

So, to learn how to relate with these twelve apostles within ourselves is extraordinary.
Peter, for example, teaches us the mysteries of sex. Matthew teaches us the pure
science. Luke teaches us his gospel according to light, the solar gospel. Andrew
teaches us the path of the disintegration of the ego in a complete manner, along with
the work in the flaming forge of Vulcan, and how to sacrifice for humanity (the cross of
St. Andrew is clearly telling us about all of this). John is the Verb, the Word. Thomas,
what does Thomas teach us? He teaches us how to handle the minds, and especially
the intellectual mind. Thomas teaches us that we must not depend on outside
concepts, that we must only rely strictly on our own profound inner Self, and nothing
else. It is clear that Thomas addresses those who can already perform that grace,
those who can already depend on the different parts of their own Being, since at this
moment, I think, none of you can [consciously] depend, by themselves, on their own
Being.

Precisely what is the work of a guru? A guru has to put one in contact with the different
parts of one’s own Being, and also with the superior part of the Being, who is the
Ancient of the Centuries. When a guru has fulfilled that mission he withdraws, since he
has no longer any labor to do for the disciple. Thus, from that moment the disciple must
learn how to depend only on the knowledge that he receives from the different parts of
his own Being.

What would we say about Peter? He is a specialist in the mysteries of sex. And what
about Philip? Philip is the writer; he also knows about Jinn states, and how to travel
outside the physical body. Behold how extraordinary Philip is. And, etc., etc., etc.,
because too numerous are all those parts to mention. But in any case, the twelve
powers or twelve fundamental parts of our own Being are the true twelve apostles.

It is necessary to stop thinking about the historical twelve apostles, and to learn how to
directly think of the twelve apostles that we carry within us. That is what is fundamental.
It is necessary to forget about the issue of the historical Christ, and learn how to think
of the intimate Christ. It is necessary to understand that the Divine Mother Kundalini is
not only a woman from 2,000 years ago, but that each of us carries her inside. It is
necessary to become a bit more individual.

Disciple: Venerable Master, you quoted "Jacob's Ladder," which I think, in its fourth
rung, we receive the baptism of water, and that in the seventh the baptism of fire...

Master. No. The baptism of water is received exactly in the second rung, and fire in the
seventh!

Disciple: Then, the question is this: in "Revolutionary Psychology" a "wonderful ladder"

is mentioned where we are situated. Of course, it refers to the levels of the Being of
every one of us, but I have a doubt regarding the relationship of "Jacob's Ladder" with
the ladder you mention in this book.

Master: Well, properly said, Jacob's Ladder relates rather to a merely initiatic matter
concerned with the fundamental seven steps. And as for the levels of the Being, that is
different; it relates to the vertical path, and many are the levels of the Being before one
can reach the summit.

Disciple: Venerable Master, is there any coordination between the seven minds and the
law of octaves that governs the entire universe?

Master: Unquestionably, each of the seven minds has its own seven octaves.
Obviously, because it is a law of the universe.

If the number three has the power to create, the number seven has the power to
organize. The number three can create any universe, but it cannot organize it. The law
of seven is necessary in order to organize it.

Disciple: Venerable Master, the seven minds are also summarized in one mind, right?

Master: The seven minds have their synthesis in the mental body. But one thing is to
have the mental body, and another thing is to have the seven modifications, the seven
minds. Obviously, these seven modifications or seven minds are related to the seven
centers, namely, again, intellectual, emotional, motor, instinctive, and sexual, and finally
the superior emotional and superior mental.

Disciple: Master, have the seven Logoi reincarnated on Earth? Specifically, my

question is this: can the seven reincarnate always in the solar system, let us say, the
same seven on Venus, the same seven on Mars, the same seven on Jupiter?

Master: I am going to tell you. I have said, of the seven, five have incarnated in the five
root races. The sixth will reincarnate in the future sixth root race, the seventh in the
seventh. Yet obviously, when the cosmic night arrives, those physical logoic bodies —
meaning the planets — will disintegrate themselves within the chaos. In a future
mahamanvantara, all seven will enter into new activity.

Yet, let us distinguish between the seven Buddhas of Contemplation and the seven
Bodhisattvas, the seven unfoldments of the Buddhas of Contemplation. The Seven
Bodhisattvas are seven human beings who appear in the world, working in the world;
they perform a labor in the world, and then they withdraw from it. It is clear that those
seven will have a glorious activity in a future mahamanvantara; they will enter into
activity, yet in a superior order, and in a new universe.

Disciple: Venerable Master, could it be said that the mind of the seven planets of the
solar system are related to each of the seven centers or minds that you were talking
about?

Master: Well, properly, yes, yes in a certain sense, but the correlation is not perfect
when the seven minds are not perfect [in us]. Likewise, the twenty-four [zodiacal] elders
that are twenty-four ineffable parts of the Being within every human being.

The Being, in itself, cannot be outlined and diagrammed. We cannot make an exact
diagram, since the Being is like an army of innocent children. That is the Being, and
one must learn how to know this in order to understand it.

To be in contact with the twenty-four emanations is not so easy. Whosoever wants to

have a good relation with all of the parts of their Being, either with the twenty-four or
with the twelve, or with the seven, etc., first of all has to have disintegrated the ego,
because the ego is not admitted within the superior regions of the Being.

Distinguish then, my dear sisters and brothers, between the Being who is properly what
we might call "Atman" (Atman in the complete Sanskrit meaning, or Atma-Tattva) and
Chit. One thing is the Being, and another thing is chit (the consciousness). The Self is
Sat, the consciousness is Chit, and the happiness of both is Ananda.

To achieve happiness, the state of Ananda, is the supreme aspiration. But one could
not reach such supreme happiness if one does not previously pass through the baptism
of fire, and one could not pass through that baptism if one does not disintegrate the
inhuman psychic aggregates, living personifications of our psychological defects...

Disciple: Master, you say that one must also disintegrate the personality. My question is
in regard to this, since among the different psychologists who have given the concept
of "personality" do not agree. Thus, could you give us an esoteric concept about what
the personality is?

Master: Indeed, the personality is truthfully something that has to be created. Every
human being, when it comes to the world, has no personality. The personality is
created during the first seven years of childhood, and is strengthened with time and
experience.

Within the personality are all the possibilities for error, the acquired habits, the false
education received, the violent passions. Thus, even whosoever has dissolved the ego,
the myself, still has the personality, and within the personality is the possibility for error.

The book of Revelation speaks about two beasts. The first beast is the ego, the second
is the personality. The burning lake with fire and brimstone is reserved for both of them,
which is the Second Death. Therefore, let us distinguish between the Beast that is the
ego, and the other beast or the personality, which is the false prophet who makes
miracles before the beast.
Thus, whosoever has dissolved the ego has to dissolve the personality. When the
personality has been atomically disintegrated, then the advent of the baptism of fire
occurs. Understood? From that moment, the profound interior enlightenment and true
and authentic happiness reigns in us. That is to say, the advent of three important
parts: namely, Sat (the Being), Chit (the awakened, enlightened consciousness) and
Ananda, the supreme happiness...

Disciple: I understand that on one occasion you told us that this accumulation of
psychic aggregates that make up our ego from the first seven years of our life is not nor
has ever been the personality, and that the personality is acquired when we acquired
enlightenment. So I seem to remember ...

Master: Maybe, brother, your remembrance is wrong, because any esotericist knows
that one is not born with personality, that one has to fabricate it, and one fabricates it
during the first seven years of childhood, and one strengthens it with time and
experiences.

There is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased. When one dies, three things
go into the pantheon: the physical body, the vital body, and the ex-personality, which
must be disintegrated.

So, whosoever kills the ego, whosoever has disintegrated it, whosoever has died in
oneself, has to pass through the normal process of every initiate, that is the
disintegration of the personality.

It is not difficult to disintegrate it, it is disintegrated in less than a year. But the ego is
difficult. One needs thirty years in order to disintegrate it, since it has ten thousand
aggregates. Thus, if one does not judiciously work for thirty years, the destruction of the
ego will not be achieved. But if one works with true intensity, one manages to pass
through the Buddhist annihilation. Once one has passed through the Buddhist
annihilation, one has to annihilate the personality. And once one has annihilated the
personality, one reaches the seventh rung of mastery. Thus, as a result, consequence
or corollary, one receives the baptism of fire, which brings enlightenment.

Therefore, those who want enlightenment beforehand are completely wrong. Without
death, nothing is achieved, from night to morning. This costs just over thirty years of
work. Indeed, I am telling you a truth, and it is hard, but you must comprehend that
what is worth much, costs much...

Disciple: Master, when the apostles awaited the coming of the fire of the Holy Ghost, is
the rumble from that moment when they had annihilated the personality?

Master: The baptism of fire! This is a teaching on the baptism of fire. Thus, do not think
of historical matters, think about what you are doing now... are you destroying the ego?

Disciple: Yes, Master...

Master: Well, when you reach the seventh level you will receive the baptism of fire, not
before, and this is what counts. The true Pentecost is for the baptism of fire,
understood? One must stop being a little (regarding this Esoteric-Christic matters), less
historians and more realistic, because all that is written in the four gospels, everything
that is written in the “Apocalypse,” all of that is symbolic, and one must not take it as
the dead letter [literally]…

Disciple: Master, the manufacture of the solar bodies is performed after the ego has
been totally killed?

Master: Well, what do you mean by solar bodies? Let us see...

Disciple: I understand according to the studies that the different solar bodies are
manufactured in the Ninth Sphere, sex, utilizing Mercury, Salt, and Sulphur, and in
correspondence with the seven Buddhas, with the law of seven. Thus, this is how the
solar physical, mental solar, solar astral bodies are manufactured and so on ...

Master: Indeed, first one creates the existential superior bodies of the Being, and then
one has to Christify them. Only when they are already Christified are they called solar
bodies, and not before. Understood? So, what were you asking me regarding that
matter?

Disciple: That if after the death of the ego is when the solar bodies are fabricated, or if
they are fabricated before the ego dies...

Master: I already told you, first one creates the bodies. Once the bodies are created,
we have to convert them into vehicles of pure gold, so they can be recovered by the
distinct parts of the Being. But one cannot convert the superior existential bodies of
Being into vehicles of pure gold if one has not eliminated the Dry Mercury, and we
already know that the Dry Mercury is constituted by the inhuman psychic aggregates
[egos] that we carry within.

Thus, we need to eliminate the dry mercury and the Arsenic Sulfur. The Arsenic or
Poisoned Sulphur is the Animal and Bestial Fire that needs to be eliminated. And as for
the Dry Mercury, there is no doubt that it represents the psychic aggregates.

If one achieves the elimination of these two factors (the Dry Mercury and the Arsenic
Sulphur), then the Antimony can set the spirit of gold within the bodies. But that spirit of
gold is in the sacred sperm. Thus, only by transmuting and eliminating (as I said) the
psychic aggregates is it possible for the Antimony to set the gold in the bodies. Only
thus can the existential bodies of the Being become vehicles of pure gold. So, what
were you asking about these vehicles?

Disciple: That if one fabricates them after one has died in the ego...

Master: I already told you that one fabricates them before the death of the ego, and that
one needs the death of the ego in order for these bodies to become vehicles of pure
gold.

Someone can fabricate these bodies without having disintegrated the ego, thus if one
does not disintegrate the ego, one becomes a Hasnamuss with a double center of
gravity. The abyss and the Second Death is for the Hasnamussen, because they are
failed ones, abortions of the Cosmic Mother, and that is all.

Inverential Peace!
