The Initiatory Journey of Life: Courage, Perseverance, and Commitment
It was a starry night, where constellations shone brightly in the dark sky. In a small village hidden among the mountains, lived a sage known as the Master. His wisdom and knowledge were revered by everyone in the region.
The Master deeply understood the text that stated that the Self is our Divine Principle, the essence that unites all the virtues we possess. He knew that the Self was something undefinable to the human mind, something beyond intellectual comprehension. It was the very Creator, Sustainer, and Renewer God within each human being: The Great and Mighty I AM Presence.
In his teachings, the Master spoke of a ladder that represented different levels of Self. He explained that each person stood on a particular rung of this ladder, according to their inner state of consciousness. The closer they were to their Self, their Divine Essence, the more perfect they would be.
The ladder extended vertically, with infinite rungs, and each rung represented the expression of an individual’s Self. It was a journey of self-transformation and spiritual growth. The Master emphasized that these levels of Self were not related to age, physical appearance, or any external status. They depended solely on the egoic multiplicity within each individual.
The Master’s words echoed in the minds and hearts of those who listened to him. He explained that, according to the level of Self we were in, we would attract different events and circumstances in our lives. If anger dominated us, we would attract tragedies and dramas. If we were entangled in vices, we would surround ourselves with people exhibiting the same self-destructive behaviors.
He emphasized that many people suffered repeatedly from the same problems because they were unaware of the process of change. They believed that what happened yesterday would happen today and tomorrow. However, the Master stated that change could only occur in the present moment, at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines within each individual.
He highlighted that our affinities and relationships reflected our level of Self. “Show me who you walk with, and I will tell you who you are,” the ancients said. The people we associated with had an affinity with us, based on our likes, thoughts, and internal feelings. When a person changed their level of Self, their affinities naturally changed, as they were no longer drawn to the same things.
The Master exemplified that a person who had stolen in the past, upon changing and eliminating that element from their life, would alter their level of Self. They would lose interest in committing offenses and would naturally distance themselves from people and situations related to crime. It was a reflection of the inner work they were undertaking.
When we finally understood the level of Self we were at, we could direct our efforts to initiate the work of spiritual ascent. The Master emphasized that this work was not merely an external quest for material improvements, but rather an internal journey of transformation.
He instructed his disciples to look within themselves, to identify their virtues and flaws. It was necessary to recognize the areas where virtues were lacking and where flaws predominated. Only by being aware of these issues could they begin to tread the path of spiritual evolution.
The Master guided his followers in meditations and contemplative practices, encouraging them to delve deeply into their own nature. He taught the importance of eliminating egoic multiplicity, false identities, and illusory attachments that drew them away from their true Self.
And thus, the journey of each individual began. Some dedicated themselves intensely to inner work, adopting daily practices of meditation, self-analysis, and self-reflection. As they progressed in their levels of Self, their lives began to transform.
External events and circumstances reflected internal change. Those who were once surrounded by tragedies and conflicts found inner peace and harmony in their lives. Their relationships transformed, attracting people with higher levels of Self, with affinities more aligned with their new state of consciousness.
The Master emphasized that this journey was not easy. It demanded courage, discipline, and persistence. Inner transformation required a deep commitment to oneself and the pursuit of truth. Those who embraced this path knew it was not just an individual task, but a service to humanity as a whole.
The Master often said, “I am the flame that burns in every human heart, as it burns in every grain and at the core of every star.” He taught that by elevating our levels of Self, by working on ourselves, we were contributing to the collective elevation of human consciousness.
The Master’s words resonated beyond that small village. His teachings spread, reaching people from different backgrounds and cultures. His legacy became a source of inspiration for all those longing for spiritual awakening and a deeper understanding of their inner Self.
And thus, the story of the journey of spiritual ascent and self-knowledge continued to be written. The Master’s disciples, like wisdom seekers around the world, continued to tread the ladder of Levels of Self, in search of unity with the Divine Principle residing within each of us. And on this journey, they discovered the true purpose of the Self: to awaken to the infinite light within, to express our divine potentials, and to share wisdom and love with the world.
As individuals advanced on their spiritual journey, they faced challenges and tests along the way. Each obstacle became an opportunity for growth and learning. The Master encouraged them to remain steadfast in their determination, reminding them that true transformation requires continuous effort and self-awareness.
As consciousness expanded, the disciples increasingly understood the interconnectedness of all things. They realized that their choices and actions reverberated not only in their individual lives but also in the cosmic web of existence. The consciousness of “self” expanded to embrace the “we,” and service to humanity became a natural expression of their awakened love and compassion.
As the journey continued, the disciples learned to find harmony between the outer world and the inner world. They realized that internal transformation didn’t mean isolating themselves or renouncing the world, but rather bringing light and wisdom to every aspect of their daily lives. They became living examples of integrity, kindness, and serenity, radiating positive energy that touched everyone around them.
The fame of the Master and his disciples spread beyond the village’s borders. People from all parts traveled to seek them out for spiritual guidance and enlightenment. The Master’s words and teachings were shared through lectures, texts, and profound dialogues, inspiring countless souls to awaken to their true divine nature.
And thus, the story of this journey of wisdom, transcendence, and self-knowledge continued throughout the centuries. The message that we are more than mere physical human beings echoed in the minds and hearts of those seeking a deeper sense of existence.
The Master’s legacy continued to illuminate the path for future generations. His teachings remained as a beacon of light, guiding those who ventured on the ladder of Levels of Self. And as more and more people awakened to their true spiritual nature, the world became a more peaceful, loving, and harmonious place.
Thus, the journey of self-discovery, inspired by the wise words of the Master, never ceased. The search for truth, for union with the inner divine, remained an eternal calling for all seekers of wisdom. And as each person ascended on their personal ladder, the universe lit up with the divine spark that burns in every human heart, connecting us to the core of existence and the infinite wisdom of the Divine Self within each of us.
We observe the story of the Master above…, based on the many stories that over time have transmitted various teachings and wisdom through different cultures. Among these teachings, we highlight a widely known book of hidden wisdom, the Bible. The sacred texts contained in these scriptures possess elevated and profound knowledge, yet often they are interpreted literally, losing the symbolic and deep meaning they carry. Great teachings are rarely presented directly; they are commonly expressed through parables and symbols. This is because humanity, in general, still lacks the capacity to understand the true importance of these teachings due to its limited level of consciousness. Additionally, this symbolic approach aims to preserve the sacredness of these mysteries, as biblically expressed in Yeshua HaMashiach’s phrase “do not cast pearls before swine.”
An example to be analyzed is the Ten Commandments, delivered by Moses to the Hebrew people rescued from Egypt. These commandments are guidelines for us to live according to divine laws, serving as guides for us to tread a path towards self-development and perfection. Let’s explore some of these commandments in detail:
1. To Love the Divine Presence I AM above all things: To truly love the Divine Presence I AM, it is necessary to understand it and know where to find it. Loving the Divine Presence I AM goes beyond mere words; it requires action and experience. The love for the Divine Presence I AM is deep, ineffable, and undefinable. We can recognize its attributes and observe its effects, but the cause of this love is unknown. The Great and Powerful Divine Presence I AM manifests through sympathy and the force of attraction. It is the purest feeling that translates into actions and not just good reasons. Love for the Divine Presence I AM implies recognizing and appreciating the divine principle within ourselves and in every manifestation of the universe, from the smallest atom to the densest forms.
2. Not to swear your Holy Name in vain: Swearing is taking the Divine Presence I AM as a witness to something we promise to fulfill. We must be cautious when making promises and decrees in the name of the Divine Presence I AM, as this implies the responsibility to fulfill what was promised. We must also exercise caution in using our creative power through words, as they have a profound impact on reality.
3. To Sanctify the Festivals: Sanctifying the festivals means maintaining the purity of our triumphs and achievements, avoiding returning to negative behaviors and actions. It involves internal celebration and intimate joy, related to the cleansing of the soul.
4. To Honor Father and Mother: Honor goes beyond respect and appreciation for our physical parents. It also refers to the internal principles representing divine authority and wisdom. We must serve, esteem, and acknowledge both our physical parents and these internal principles. Honor also means having compassion and educating our parents, and forgiving them when necessary. We don’t always have loving and wise parents; often, they are the most detrimental people in our lives. In these cases, simply send Love and Light, enveloping them in the energy of forgiveness and freeing them from their karmic destinies.
5. Not to Kill: The commandment “Not to kill” goes beyond the physical act of taking another human being’s life. It alerts us to the importance of preserving and respecting life in all its forms. Killing can also occur through words, thoughts, and actions that cause emotional harm, damage relationships, and destroy the vital essence pulsating in nature. We must be conscious of how our words and actions can affect the feelings and intentions of the beings around us.
6. Not to Fornicate: The commandment “Not to fornicate” guides us not to waste our energies in a disorderly manner. It encompasses chastity in thoughts, feelings, and actions. We must be vigilant about the proper use of sexual energy, as wasting these energies leads to a loss of vitality and imbalance. Each energy center within us has its own specific energies, and squandering them is akin to fornicating with the creative verb.
7. Not to Steal: The commandment “Not to steal” warns us against theft and improper appropriation of others’ belongings, whether through violence or more subtle means. It encourages us to respect others’ property, from material objects to ideas and values. We must cultivate honesty, justice, and integrity in all our interactions, avoiding any form of improper appropriation.
8. Not to Bear False Witness or Lie: This commandment highlights the importance of using the creative, sustaining, and renewing word consciously and responsibly. We should avoid using words to slander, defame, or spread false information about others. Truth and justice should be the foundations of our words, and we should refrain from denying the reality of things or distorting it for convenience. Lies, deceit, betrayal, and hypocrisy are ways to falsify the truth and undermine trust in human relationships.
9. Not to Adulterate: The commandment “Not to adulterate” encourages us to preserve purity in all things, whether in spoken or written word, values, or people. Adulteration occurs when something loses its original integrity, whether through corruption, forgery, or distortion. We must strive to maintain integrity in our actions, thoughts, and relationships, avoiding any form of corruption or manipulation that compromises purity and authenticity.
10. Not to Covet Others’ Possessions: This commandment warns us against unbridled covetousness and excessive desire to acquire wealth, material possessions, positions of power, or another person’s partner. Covetousness is an uncontrolled craving and insatiable ambition that leads us to lose perspective and relentlessly seek what others have. We must cultivate gratitude, contentment, and detachment regarding others’ material possessions, recognizing that true wealth lies in spiritual connection and the inner quest for wisdom and evolution.
As we reflect on the Ten Commandments, we realize they go beyond mere rules of moral conduct. They are guidelines inviting us to seek a deeper and symbolic understanding of life and our relationship with the divine. Each commandment contains an essential message for our spiritual growth and the pursuit of perfection.
It’s important to remember that the interpretation of these teachings can vary according to religious traditions and individual beliefs. Each person can find additional meanings and apply them according to their own spiritual journey.
In essence, the Ten Commandments invite us to love and understand the Divine Presence I AM, to respect and honor the divine principles within ourselves and others, to preserve life in all its manifestations, to use the power of the word with wisdom and integrity, to cultivate purity and chastity on all levels, to practice honesty and justice, to uphold truth and avoid falsehood, to seek integrity and authenticity in all things, and to overcome covetousness and uncontrolled desire.
These teachings, when understood in their deepest essence, guide us on our spiritual journey and help us live a life full of meaning, harmony, and connection with the divine.
The child is the man of tomorrow, but to become a truly useful man, they need to undergo a process of transformation and inner development. The Regenerative Education of Being plays a fundamental role in this journey, as it goes beyond technical learning and seeks to awaken individuals’ consciousness and intelligence.
During the prenatal period, it’s important for parents to be prepared to welcome the new being coming into the world. An environment of love and harmony around the expectant mother is essential, avoiding worries and negative stimuli.
During early childhood, which encompasses the first seven years of life (0–7 years), the child is in a constant process of forming their personality. It’s in this crucial phase that they absorb examples and values transmitted by parents and the environment they live in. Parents play a crucial role in this period, as they are primarily responsible for providing the child with a loving, secure, and stimulating environment. Additionally, they should be sources of wisdom and love, which are essential for the child’s healthy development. However, something often overlooked by parents is the importance of the name given to the child. The name is much more than a mere identification; it carries meanings and influences that shape the child’s personality throughout their life. It’s believed that the name can exert a powerful influence on how the child sees themselves and how others perceive them. Research suggests that certain names are associated with specific characteristics and can influence people’s expectations of the child. Therefore, it’s crucial for parents to deeply reflect on the name they will choose for their children. They should consider not only the sound and aesthetics of the name but also the meaning behind it. The name can be a way to convey values, family traditions, or aspirations for the future. Additionally, it’s important to consider the sound and pronunciation of the name, as it will be used throughout the child’s life. A name that’s difficult to pronounce, meaningless, or unpleasant-sounding can cause discomfort and social adaptation difficulties. Parents must seek balance when choosing a name for the child, taking into account the child’s individuality while also considering the impact the name may have on their life. It’s a delicate task, but by deeply reflecting on this decision, parents can contribute to their children’s healthy and positive development. The advisable thing is to give perennial, impermanent names with great natural significance. In this way, spirits, through the power of the spoken and repeated word, will acquire such qualities and greatness. This is how the ancients and indigenous peoples from all over the world used to name the new souls they saw and see coming into the world.
In the second childhood phase, roughly from 7 to 14 years old, a crucial period of basic learning occurs for the child. It’s during this phase that they acquire fundamental knowledge that will serve as the foundation for their cognitive, social, and emotional development throughout life. In this sense, parents play an important role by investing in art and creativity in their children’s lives. Art offers a unique opportunity for the child to explore their imagination, personal expression, and develop cognitive and emotional skills. By exposing the child to different forms of art, such as painting, music, dance, theater, creative writing, among others, parents are providing a variety of stimuli that contribute to the child’s holistic development. Through art, the child learns to observe, experiment, create, and express themselves in unique ways. Moreover, art and creativity are powerful tools for developing self-confidence and self-esteem in children. By allowing them to explore their imagination and express their ideas freely and authentically, parents are encouraging the child to trust in their own abilities and value their uniqueness. Art also promotes empathy and emotional understanding. By engaging with different forms of artistic expression, the child learns to identify and understand various emotions, both their own and those of others. This contributes to the development of social skills, such as the ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes and to communicate effectively. The benefits of art and creativity go beyond the child’s personal development. They are also important for building a more creative and innovative society. Through art, the child learns to think unconventionally, to seek creative solutions to challenges, and to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Therefore, during the second childhood phase, parents should recognize the importance of art and creativity in their children’s lives. By providing opportunities for the child to explore different forms of artistic expression, parents are contributing to their holistic development, strengthening their self-confidence, stimulating their imagination, and promoting essential social and emotional skills. Furthermore, investing in art and creativity is a way to prepare the child for a future that demands innovative thinking and adaptive skills, and even more so… to express their natural gift of being an extension of the Creator God, expressing the potential of their Divine Presence I AM.
During adolescence, which roughly spans from 14 to 21 years old, significant physical, emotional, and social transformations occur in a young person’s life. During this period, sexual energy awakens, and doubts and questions about various aspects of life arise. It’s crucial for parents to play the role of best friends to their children during this phase, establishing an environment of trust and open dialogue at home. One way to strengthen this friendship and provide support to teenagers is through investing in strong cultural expressions such as dance and music. Dance and music are powerful means of expression that allow teenagers to explore and channel their energy in a positive way. By encouraging dance practice, parents are providing a healthy way for the young person to express their individuality, release tensions, and develop physical and motor skills. Dance also stimulates coordination, balance, and body awareness, contributing to a greater connection with their own body and the development of self-confidence. Similarly, learning a musical instrument can be an enriching experience for a teenager. Playing an instrument allows the young person to express themselves artistically, stimulates creativity, and instills a sense of discipline. Additionally, music has the power to connect emotions and provide an emotional refuge during the challenges of this phase of life. Beyond cultural expressions, it’s also important to encourage participation in healthy and age-appropriate sports for adolescents. Involvement in sports provides physical benefits such as improved cardiovascular condition, strength development, and endurance, as well as promoting social interaction and teamwork. By investing in these activities, parents are offering teenagers healthy and constructive alternatives for dealing with their emotions, exploring their interests, and developing important skills. Moreover, by becoming their children’s best friends, parents are opening the doors for open and honest dialogue, where young people will feel comfortable seeking guidance and clarification at home, preventing them from turning to negative external influences. It’s essential for parents to be present and available to support and guide their teenage children, providing a safe and welcoming environment for them to develop in a healthy way and face the challenges of this phase with confidence. The investment in strong cultural expressions like dance and music, as well as in healthy sports aptitudes, are valuable ways to strengthen this relationship and contribute to the positive growth and development of teenagers.
During youth, which spans approximately from 21 to 35 years old, a transitional phase occurs where individuals are preparing to fully enter adulthood. In this period, the “little birds” begin to leave their nests, meaning that young people are ready to leave their parents’ home and embark on their own path in the world. In this phase, parents play a fundamental role by detaching themselves from their children without fear, allowing them to follow their journey of growth and personal development. Just as parents had to forge their own paths in the past, now is the time to let their children forge their own paths, face their own challenges, and build their own life experiences. It’s important for parents to recognize that their children are ready to take on responsibilities and make decisions for themselves. By giving them this freedom, parents are promoting their autonomy and encouraging them to develop necessary life skills, such as responsibility, independence, and resilience. During youth, the individual transitions into adulthood, which involves assuming responsibilities for oneself. This entails establishing a home, building wealth and means of sustenance. It involves pursuing a professional career, setting financial goals, and developing skills that enable financial independence. Furthermore, it’s crucial to choose one’s company wisely during this phase of life. Friends and relationships can exert significant influence over our choices and behaviors. Therefore, it’s important to seek relationships based on true love that nourishes wisdom and brings about true youthfulness. Positive and inspiring companions can contribute to personal and professional growth, while toxic relationships or those based solely on passion can lead to poor choices and emotional difficulties. In this sense, youth is a period of discoveries, learning, and responsibilities. It’s a phase in which the individual is building their own identity, establishing foundations for the future, and making decisions that will shape their adult life. Therefore, parents should courageously and confidently let go of their children, allowing them to venture into the world on their own path. Simultaneously, it’s important for young people to take on their responsibilities and commit to personal development, setting goals, seeking healthy relationships, and building a sustainable future in all aspects of life.
During the maturity phase, which spans approximately from 35 to 56 years old, spirituality plays a significant role in people’s lives. This is the period when the responsibilities of adulthood reach their peak, as it’s necessary to manage the household, guide the children, and ensure the necessary sustenance for the family. In this context, spirituality can bring a deeper and more meaningful perspective to dealing with these responsibilities. It can provide emotional support and a sense of purpose, helping individuals find balance between the demands of work, family, and personal life. By cultivating a spiritual practice, whether through religion, meditation, connecting with nature, or any other form of inner seeking, individuals can find a space to connect with something greater than themselves. This can bring a sense of inner peace, mental clarity, and emotional resilience in the face of the pressures and challenges of everyday life. Spirituality can also provide a moral compass for heads of households. Through spiritual values and teachings, they can guide their children comprehensively and intelligently, imparting ethical principles and positive examples. By avoiding vices and cultivating a balanced life, parents can serve as models of healthy behavior for their children, positively influencing them and providing a safe and loving family environment. However, it’s understood that the current reality presents financial challenges for many families, requiring both parents to work to ensure sustenance. In these cases, it’s important to find a balance between professional and family obligations, while remaining mindful of personal limits and the importance of reserving time for family interaction and self-care. Spirituality is also a means of seeking wisdom and guidance to face financial difficulties and find creative ways to manage available resources. It offers a sense of trust and reliance on something greater, as well as fostering a mindset of gratitude and appreciation for blessings present in life, even amid adversity. Therefore, during the maturity phase, spirituality plays an important role for individuals and families. It offers emotional support, a sense of purpose, and a moral compass to tackle the responsibilities of adulthood. By seeking spiritual connection and cultivating positive values, individuals can find balance, resilience, and wisdom to deal with financial challenges and provide a healthy and loving family environment for their children.
In the old age phase, which begins at 56 years and beyond, there exists the opportunity to experience the fullness and joy derived from the accumulated life experience over the years. It’s essential to approach this phase with serenity and wisdom, understanding that old age should not be feared or a source of suffering, but rather embraced as a valuable and meaningful stage of the human journey. In this phase, individuals have the healthy obligation to seek fulfillment in the three essential pillars of life: love, social, and spiritual. In the love pillar, old age is an opportunity to consolidate and celebrate the affective relationships built throughout life, nurturing love and connection with partners, family, and friends. It’s a time to share wisdom, emotional support, and enjoy the loving presence of those around us. In the social pillar, old age offers the chance to contribute significantly to society. With accumulated experience, the elderly can become true beacons of light, sharing their stories, knowledge, and valuable perspectives with younger generations. Through engagement in social activities, volunteering, and mentoring, they can leave a positive legacy and inspire others to seek fulfillment in their own lives. In the spiritual pillar, old age is a conducive moment to deepen inner seeking, transcend selfishness and attachment, and connect with something greater. It’s a phase in which one can search for inner wisdom, find answers to profound questions, and develop a deeper connection with spirituality. Spirituality can bring solace, inner peace, and a renewed sense of purpose, allowing the elderly to face life’s challenges and uncertainties with serenity and confidence. By dissolving the psychological “self” and overcoming selfishness and attachment, the elderly can achieve a state of fulfillment and joy, reaping the positive rewards of a lifetime of experiences. It’s important to recognize that old age brings with it a unique richness and a perspective enriched by the passage of time. By sharing this wisdom and experiencing gratitude for the moments lived, the elderly can light the path for humanity, offering an inspiring example of serenity, love, and wisdom. Therefore, in old age, it’s fundamental to embrace this life stage with serenity, wisdom, and gratitude. Seeking fulfillment in the love, social, and spiritual pillars allows the elderly to live a fulfilling life, share their experiences, and become beacons of light for future generations. Old age is an opportunity to reap the positive rewards of a well-lived journey and to be an example of wisdom and love for all of humanity. Only then, the elderly surpass old age and become: Elderman and Elderwoman… Grandparents of the Divine Wisdom of Well-Living.
Regenerative Education of the Self, besides providing technical knowledge for making a living, aims to help the human being experience and feel their mental and existential processes. Fear is a barrier to intelligence, as it prevents the individual from questioning, disagreeing, and exploring new horizons.
The student who lives in fear doesn’t dare to express their own opinions and ends up blindly accepting everything that is taught to them. Fear can also be observed in a child who fears imaginary monsters and constantly seeks the safety of their parents. Furthermore, the fear of others’ judgment often prevents people from acting according to their true will.
Regenerative Education of the Self aims to free the individual from fear, encouraging them to question, investigate, and develop their own understanding of the world. It seeks to awaken consciousness and intelligence, allowing the human being to become autonomous in their learning process.
By experiencing, feeling, and reflecting upon their mental and existential processes, the individual expands their understanding and reaches a deeper insight into life. Regenerative Education of the Self encourages investigation, analysis, understanding, and meditation as tools for the full development of the human being.
It’s important to highlight that Regenerative Education of the Self is not limited to a specific phase of life but is an ongoing process that accompanies the individual through all stages of their development. It aims to promote not only intellectual knowledge but also the formation of an integral human being capable of harmonious relationships with themselves, with other human beings, with nature, and with all things.
Therefore, Regenerative Education of the Self aims to awaken consciousness, promote the pursuit of true knowledge, and develop an intelligence that goes beyond the mere mechanical repetition of information. It is based on investigation, critical analysis, and deep understanding, seeking to guide the human being on their journey toward intimate self-realization.
The pursuit of understanding universal truth and objective knowledge is one of the pillars of Gnosis, whose essence is deeply linked to religion. The very word “religion” comes from the Latin “religare,” which means to reconnect man with divinity.
Gnosis teaches the Doctrine of Synthesis, revealing the Religious Principles that are living, imperishable, and unchanging cosmic formulas. These principles are universal and remain unchanged across all religions. They represent the eternal values that permeate different religious traditions, as proven through comparative analysis.
While religious forms may be distinct and have succeeded one another throughout history, teaching the same unchanging principles of truth, it’s important to emphasize that the essence remains constant. When analyzing various religions, we find accounts of a Golden Age at the dawn of humanity, where paradisiacal man, endowed with free will, disobeyed divine laws, lost their higher consciousness, and initiated a process of degeneration and loss of acquired knowledge, resulting in the loss of paradise and the state of happiness.
Despite this fall, the infinite mercy and love of the Great and Mighty I AM Presence did not forsake humanity, and throughout history, in different eras and civilizations, Avataric Messengers were sent. They came to teach the unchanging principles and formulas that enable the human being to return to the paradisiacal state, integrate with the existing whole, and regain dominion over nature, both externally and internally, being made in the image and likeness of God the Creator, Sustainer, and Renewer, The Great and Mighty I AM Presence, as affirmed by the Sacred Books.
Among the many mentioned Avatars, such as Noach (Noah), Moshe (Moses), Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), Krishna, Rama, Quetzalcoatl, Confucius, Muhammad, Zoroaster, Fu-Hi, eternal values are transmitted through them, adapting to different times, races, and cultures through various religious forms. It’s worth remembering that of all these sent ones, the greatest and most important of them all is: Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach. Yeshua, the Savior of the World, who spread the message of True, Pure, Sacred, and Blessed Love, is the King of kings and Lord of lords. The very Divinity that descended to Earth to sacrifice in an act of TRANSCENDENTAL LOVE for humanity.
Yeshua should receive all veneration, requests, and prayers; he is the Lord and King of the whole world. It’s important not to confuse Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach with the distorted form they named Jesus Christ, even though this distorted expression carries the power of the Meshiach. The expression created by the orthodox and protestant powers of darkness: Jesus Christ…, has no meaning whatsoever, for it leaves out the pronunciation of the word YESHUA, which in Hebrew means: SAVIOR, to make way for an inferior, senseless, and meaningless expression: Jesus, which says nothing and means nothing, derived from Latin: Yesu, which also has nothing to say. In the same way, orthodox Jews call him Yshu, which also says nothing, just to avoid pronouncing: Yeshua, the Savior, in Hebrew. Muslims do the same, calling him Yça, which also says nothing. Therefore, educate yourselves to pronounce the true name and epithet: Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, our Savior!
Some of the religious principles found in all religions include the worship of the Meshiach, belief in heavens and hells, the divine trinity (father, son, and holy spirit), and the existence of sacred books containing all the teachings.
True religion is the one that upholds the immutable principles that remain untouched over centuries. However, Gnosis goes beyond being merely a religion. It is a universal knowledge based on science, philosophy, art, and religion.
Unfortunately, over time, Western man has separated from these pillars, with scientists, artists, religious figures, and philosophers following separate paths. However, true Gnosis is composed of these four interconnected roots: science, art, religion, and philosophy. Each of these roots plays a fundamental role in the pursuit of understanding truth and connecting with the divine.
True and sacred science, which serves the Divine Self and not materialism or solely the physical world, is a powerful tool that transcends three-dimensional limitations. It allows us to verify and experience knowledge by exploring the deeper dimensions of reality. Through this Divine Science, we can unravel the mysteries of the universe and expand our understanding of existence.
Art plays an essential role in Gnosis. It teaches us to see beyond the physical world, awakening the ability to interpret the symbolism present in nature and within ourselves. Objective art is an expression of the royal art of nature, in which cosmic truths are deposited. By becoming architects of our inner world, we can use art as a tool for self-knowledge and transformation.
Religion, in turn, guides us in the pursuit of ethics and the fulfillment of divine commandments. It is through religion that we find the guidelines to reconnect with the divine, to rediscover our spiritual essence, and to follow the path of spiritual evolution. It provides us with a moral and ethical code of conduct that assists us on the journey toward enlightenment.
Philosophy represents deep reflection and the quest for understanding hidden truths in nature and human existence. Through philosophical inquiries, we can unveil the complexities of the universe and develop a sense of discernment and wisdom. Philosophy allows us to transcend superficial appearances and seek the knowledge of profound truths that permeate all of creation.
It is important to emphasize that Gnosis is based on three fundamental factors for the revolution of consciousness: TO DIE, TO BE BORN, AND TO SACRIFICE. Psychological death allows us to eliminate everything that harms us and hinders our spiritual progress, granting us true individuality and the ability to see things as they are. Birth corresponds to the formation of solar bodies, which allow us to exist beyond time and are constructed through alchemical work. Sacrifice for humanity is an opportunity to gain merits and spiritual impetus, for by giving to others, we receive under the law of compensation.
Thus, Gnosis transcends the narrow categorization of a single religion and encompasses universal knowledge that is supported by science, philosophy, art, and religion. It is a quest for ultimate truth, objective knowledge, and connection with the divine, uniting all facets of human existence in a journey of self-discovery, understanding, and spiritual evolution.
In this journey of self-discovery and pursuit of knowledge, Gnosis leads us to understand that despite the different religious forms and avatars that have emerged throughout history, there are immutable principles that pervade all religions. These principles are living cosmic formulas, eternal truths that transcend cultures and eras.
Among these religious principles present in all religions, we find the worship of the Meshiach, symbolized by different names in different traditions. In Egypt, it was represented by Osiris; in Mexico, by Quetzalcoatl; and in India, by Krishna. Additionally, there is the notion of heavens and hells, as in the Greek mythology’s Olympus and Tartarus, and the trinity represented by deities such as Horus, Osiris, and Isis in Egypt… Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in India… Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in Israel. Obatala, Oduduwa, and Eshu of the Yoruba tradition. We also find sacred books that gather teachings, such as the Bible, Torah, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, and Pistis Sophia, among others.
These examples demonstrate that true religion goes beyond external differences and specific religious forms. It resides in the immutable principles that endure through the centuries, revealing the essence of human nature and its connection with the divine. Gnosis teaches us to recognize and experience these universal principles, regardless of the religious form they assume in different cultures and eras.
By understanding this synthetic view of Gnosis, we realize that it cannot merely be categorized as an isolated religion, but rather as universal knowledge founded on science, philosophy, art, and religion. It seeks to unite these different dimensions of human knowledge, recognizing the significance of each for understanding the ultimate truth.
Hence, Gnosis invites us to transcend the limitations imposed by the separation between science, art, religion, and philosophy. It beckons us to embrace the synthesis of these fundamental pillars so that we can expand our consciousness, awaken our inner potential, and reconnect with the divinity within us and all that surrounds us.
Therefore, Gnosis is a call to integrate objective knowledge with spirituality, the rational with the intuitive, scientific analysis with symbolic understanding. It is through this integration that we can discover the true essence of existence and tread the path of enlightenment and spiritual fulfillment.
Continuing the explanation about the law of antitheses and evolution and involution, we realize that these principles are present at all levels of existence. From the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms to the human kingdom, the journey of essence goes through these stages of evolution and involution.
Evolution is characterized by development, progress, and construction. It’s the process of growth and acquisition of experiences that allows us to advance and elevate our consciousness. Through the lower realms, the essence acquires specific teachings, symbolically represented by the families and characteristics of each kingdom. This journey of evolution culminates in the human kingdom, where we have the opportunity to work on ourselves over 108 lifetimes.
However, involution is the opposite of evolution. It’s a process of regression, setback, and destruction. After passing through the human kingdom, those who have not managed to free themselves from the impurities accumulated during their lifetimes face involution. This is a painful stage, where the essence lives in the animal-like, plant-like, and mineral-like realms, gradually losing its individuality and returning to the principle from which it started. This occurs when in a human existence, the ego reigns, accumulating so much power over many reincarnations that it transforms the Human (Divine Being Incarnated) into humanoid (an organic machine with atrophied soul, living only by its mechanical impulses of distorted and addicted senses).
The involutionary realms are places of purification, where nature seeks to eliminate the impurities that were not removed during human life. This process of purification is necessary for the essence to be liberated and purified, allowing it to start the cycle of evolution anew. Involvement is a painful and lengthy experience, but necessary for the elimination of all that is useless and impure.
It’s important to emphasize that evolution and involution are not merely physical processes but also have a spiritual and psychological dimension. During our human existence, we acquire negative elements called Psychological Aggregates, which are not part of our divine essence and must be eliminated. This process of elimination can occur both during life and in the involutionary realms.
Those who reach the peak of the wheel of evolution have the opportunity to escape the cycle of evolution and involution. Through the Three Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness, which involve psychological death, alchemical birth, and self-sacrifice for humanity, it’s possible to liberate oneself and attain Mastery of Life that raises the Scepter of the I AM Power, true happiness.
On this path of transformation, it’s necessary to understand that we are not merely intellectual human beings but have the capacity to become authentic and awakened beings. This inner revolution work leads us to transcend the limitations imposed by the wheel of samsara, the ceaseless alternation between evolution and involution.
The wheel of samsara is known by various names, such as the Wheel of Fortune, the Wheel of Life and Death. It represents the continuous cycle of birth and death, of ascent and descent, in which we are immersed. Through this wheel, we ascend through the mineral, plant, animal, and human realms and descend through the animal-like, plant-like, and mineral-like realms (first and second dimensions).
However, those who reach the human realm have the unique opportunity to escape this cyclical wheel. At this highest point of the wheel, we have the choice to free ourselves from the processes of evolution and involution through the work on ourselves. This revolution of consciousness work, based on the Three Factors, allows us to transcend duality and attain a state of higher consciousness.
REPEATING:
The first factor is to die psychologically, which implies denying ourselves, eliminating the lower nature that drags us into the second death. This requires the recognition and elimination of vices, negative patterns of thought and emotion that imprison us.
The second factor is to be born alchemically, which means creating the higher bodies of the Being, the Solar Bodies. These bodies enable us to exist outside of time and space, transcend the influence of the mechanical laws of nature, and attain a state of higher and awakened consciousness.
The third factor is sacrifice for humanity. This involves doing everything we can and should for others, acting with love and compassion, both for those who understand us and those who reject us. It’s a call to a selfless attitude and mutual aid.
Only through this conscious and transformative work can we free ourselves from the oscillations of the wheel of samsara and become true human beings, awakened and conscious. Thus, we can return to the Absolute, to our Divine Essence I AM, fully aware of our essential identity. This is the narrow path of the Razor’s Edge, the pursuit of self-transformation and spiritual awakening.
In summary, the law of antitheses shows us that evolution and involution are intrinsic principles of nature, and this duality manifests in all aspects of existence. However, through the work of revolution of consciousness, we can transcend this duality and attain a state of unity and full awareness. This is the challenge and opportunity that lie before us, inviting us to tread the path of self-transcendence and spiritual realization. As we awaken to the truth of our essential nature, we are capable of transcending the limitations imposed by the wheel of samsara and freeing ourselves from the endless cycle of birth and death.
However, this journey is not easy. It requires dedication, discipline, and a deep commitment to self-knowledge and transformation. We need to be willing to confront the world of lies that says we are shadows and Light, but light and darkness do not mix, and shadows are the absence of light. And yet, they say we are both light and shadows? Can’t you see that this discourse is deceitful! For everything that truly exists was Created by the Mighty I AM Presence, which is only LIGHT, being the Mighty I AM Presence Perfection, Harmony, and Light… everything that comes from this Luminous Source is only LIGHT! YOU ARE ONLY LIGHT! So, just confront your fears and renounce limiting behavioral patterns, complexes of ailments and inferiorities, survival states, and scarcity that keep us tied to the wheel of limiting and deceitful existence of evil, which erroneously claims that shadow and light coexist. The truth is that one is the absence of the other, and they don’t mix, with the illusion being the duality of this false existential communion of Light and Darkness. Sooner or later, you will have to step off the illusory dualistic fence and decide whether you will be LIGHT or darkness. Truly I tell you, the time of choice is coming to an end for everyone, and there is no more time or incarnation to be spent observing, propped up on the dualistic wall of illusion. The wheel of karma has stopped turning, for the vessel of Aquarius has already been poured.
It’s important to understand that the revolution of consciousness is not a quick or linear process. It’s an ongoing work, a gradual process of awakening and transformation. As we progress on this path, we encounter obstacles and challenges that test our determination and invite us to deepen our practice.
The revolution of consciousness is not just an individual pursuit. It’s also a call to become agents of transformation for the benefit of humanity as a whole. By cultivating love and compassion for others, we contribute to the creation of a more harmonious and awakened world.
Thus, the wheel of samsara ceases to be a prison and becomes an opportunity for spiritual growth and the realization of our true potential. With each turn of the wheel, we’re invited to refine our understanding, expand our consciousness, and awaken to the divine essence within us.
Therefore, may we embrace this journey of revolution of consciousness with courage and determination. May we recognize the duality present in nature and, through deep inner work, transcend limitations and awaken to the truth of who we are. May we tread the narrow path of the Razor’s Edge, finding liberation from the wheel of samsara and attaining the fullness of our true selves.
The story continues with the journey of the Essence in its successive existences, seeking to acquire consciousness and break free from the bonds of the ego.
After the Third Judgment, where the Essence is brought to the Courts of Cosmic Justice for trial, its journey continues. If a person in life has committed more bad deeds than good, they spend time in limbo, a waiting room of the hells. On the other hand, if the good deeds outweigh the bad, the person may spend time in the higher worlds, or heavens, receiving the wisdom of the Elohim.
The Essence, in its pilgrimage through these successive existences, gains awareness of all that exists. This growing consciousness creates the possibility of freeing itself from the ego’s hold. As the Essence works on itself, it develops a deeper understanding of its true nature and purpose.
In the process of spiritual awakening, the Essence can transcend the cycle of death and rebirth and reach higher levels of consciousness. It becomes aware of its connection with the Divine and liberates itself from the illusions and limitations of the material world.
With wisdom and consciousness acquired, the Essence can choose to return to a new physical body to fulfill a specific mission or to continue its spiritual evolution. Death is seen as a deposit of life, an opportunity for the Essence to renew itself and continue its journey of self-discovery and transformation.
On this path, the Essence can count on the assistance of the Malachim, beings who have already passed through human transit and become Malach (holy messengers). They serve the function of guiding the transition between life and death, cutting the silver cord that connects the inner bodies to the physical body.
The silver cord plays a crucial role in astral projection, allowing the Essence to travel to different planes without losing contact with the physical body during sleep. However, after three and a half days, the silver cord is cut by the Malachim, indicating that there’s no return to the physical body. Therefore, ancient sages only buried the bodies of their loved ones on the fourth day, as they knew that by divine order they could return, as was the case with Lazarus’ return by Master Yeshua on the fourth day after his passing.
Thus, the journey of the Essence continues, carrying with it the personal characteristics and accumulated experience from previous existences. Death and rebirth are intrinsically linked, being integral parts of the cycle of life.
As the Essence advances on its journey, working on itself and gaining awareness, it comes closer to a profound understanding of the mysteries of death and the origin of life. Death ceases to be an unknown fear and reveals itself as a portal to the expansion of consciousness and spiritual evolution.
As the Essence continues its pilgrimage and seeks liberation from the bonds of ego, it encounters challenges and lessons throughout its multiple existences. Each lived life provides a unique opportunity for growth and learning.
During these journeys, the Essence experiences a variety of inner bodies, such as the Astral and the Mental, expanding its understanding and awareness of the subtle planes of existence. It discovers that there’s more to the physical world and begins to explore spiritual realms and cosmic mysteries.
As the Essence works on itself, it becomes aware of the importance of self-development and the pursuit of inner wisdom. It understands that the true purpose of life goes beyond material concerns and external achievements. It’s the inner journey that reveals the deeper and lasting meaning.
In encounters with the Angels of Life, the Essence discovers that these luminous beings are there to assist in the transition between life and death. They not only cut the silver cord but also offer support, guidance, and protection throughout the process. The Angels of Life are compassionate and loving witnesses to the Essence’s journey, helping it remember its true divine nature.
The law of Return is relentless in its operation, leading all things to relive the same actions and experiences, adding the results of their past actions, whether good or bad. It’s an endless cycle of repetition, in which people find themselves again facing the same situations, but with the opportunity to learn and redeem themselves.
Regarding Reincarnation, it’s a more demanding law reserved for those who have achieved a high degree of spiritual development. Only the Great Masters of Humanity, those who have attained enlightenment, have the ability to consciously choose the circumstances of their next incarnation and whether they want to reincarnate again in this dense plane. They possess the Sacred Individuality and can decide the zodiac sign, nationality, city, family, and other aspects of the physical environment in which they will manifest again. These individuals descend to this plane solely out of compassion for human beings and are exempt from the law of Karma (cause and effect). If they make a mistake, they are immediately prompted by their own nature to make adjustments. If others commit mistakes or harm them, they too immediately suffer the consequences of the harm they caused, or if they offered blessings and did well to others, rivers of abundance will be showered upon them.
However, few achieve this level of spiritual evolution and are capable of consciously reincarnating, as this plane is too dense for their luminous beings. If they descend here, it’s to sacrifice themselves for humanity.
The majority of people are subject to the law of Return, wherein they repeatedly return to the wheel of life and death, seeking to learn from their mistakes and evolve spiritually.
The sensation of déjà vu, when someone feels they have lived a certain scene or been in a place before, can be explained by the repetition of the same experiences over previous existences. People relive the same scenes and events from their past lives in detail, sometimes with surprising clarity. Some can even accurately predict what the future holds for them, such as the age they will marry, the characteristics of their future spouse, the number of children, and even the success or failure of their businesses.
This continuous repetition of past experiences occurs in higher or lower spirals, depending on each individual’s spiritual progress.
However, in this new existence, they will face the dreadful situation of being murdered. Similarly, a thief will have the opportunity to steal again, but this time they will be caught and imprisoned. The desires and impulses that guided their past actions will still be present, but the circumstances will change, resulting in different consequences.
This law of return is not limited to humans alone; it also applies to divine beings. Even the Holy Elohim are compelled to repeat the same cosmic scenes from ancient Mahavantaras, the cosmic days, with every new Grand Day that dawns. They relive these cosmic events, yet with their respective consequences.
In the lower planes of existence, such as the hells, this law is also in effect. Those who fall into involution are subjected to relive the same humanoid scenes and experiences, as well as animaloid, vegetaloid, and mineraloid states. It’s a cycle of repetition that continues indefinitely until they are able to learn the necessary lessons and ascend to higher planes of existence.
These laws of Return and Reincarnation show that each individual has the responsibility to express themselves physically and learn from their experiences. It’s a continuous process of spiritual evolution, in which past actions have a direct impact on future experiences.
The Law of Karma, also known as the Law of Action and Consequence, is a law of nature that governs the destiny of planets, society, and human beings. It’s based on the principle that all our actions have a corresponding consequence, creating a system of compensation.
This law is symbolized by the balance of Karma, where on one side, we place the debts (Karma) we have, and on the other side is the credit (Dharma), representing positive actions. Every act we perform in our existence results in a consequence, whether good or bad.
Karma is not a form of revenge; rather, it’s a remedy for the soul. It shows us when we make a mistake and allows us to learn from it. According to the law of Karma, we reap what we sow. If we help others, we will be helped; if we harm someone, we will suffer the consequences. It’s a law of cosmic justice that seeks balance.
In the inner planes, in the Fifth Dimension, there exists a Tribunal of Cosmic Justice, where Lord Anubis and his Forty-Two Judges decide the fate of humanity and establish how and when Karma will be repaid. However, Karma is also negotiable, as divine mercy allows for flexibility in the form of repayment.
There are four postulates of the Law of Karma that show us different ways to tip the scales in our favor. First, we must face the Lion of the Law with the balance, meaning we take responsibility for our actions. Second, if we have the means to repay, we should do so fairly and come out well in business. Third, if we lack the means to repay, we will face pain and suffering. And lastly, performing good deeds is a way to settle our debts, as a higher law can wash away a lower law.
Understanding the Law of Karma allows us to consciously work on our spiritual evolution. Our errors and sufferings are consequences of our own deeds, influenced by the Ego, which leads us to commit wrongdoings. By eliminating the Ego, we end the cause of our sufferings and close the possibility of creating negative Karma.
Instead of protesting against Karma, we should learn to negotiate it and seek ways to repay our debts in a positive manner. Sincere remorse, the elimination of the Ego, and sacrifice for humanity are some of the ways to balance the scales in our favor.
Therefore, understanding and living in harmony with the Law of Karma allows us to take responsibility for our actions, learn from our mistakes, and pursue a path of spiritual evolution and happiness.
The Law of Karma is a fundamental principle that teaches us that all our actions have consequences. It reminds us that there are no coincidences in life, and that everything we experience, whether illness, suffering, loss, or gain, is a result of our past actions.
The word “karma” comes from Sanskrit and means “action” or “consequence.” It can also be understood as a “debt” in esoteric terms. This means that everything we do carries a consequence, according to our deeds, following a law of compensation.
It’s important to understand that the Law of Karma extends beyond individual actions and also encompasses the collective karma of societies, nations, and even the human race as a whole. The suffering and challenges that humanity often faces are often results of collective actions and their consequences.
To truly understand and work with the Law of Karma, it’s essential to cultivate virtues such as love, compassion, forgiveness, and understanding. By doing so, we can gradually dissolve negative karmic patterns and create positive causes and conditions for ourselves and others.
The Law of Karma teaches us that we have free will, but we’re also responsible for our choices and actions. It reminds us that every thought, word, and deed has an impact, not only on ourselves but also on the interconnected web of life. Therefore, it’s crucial to act responsibly and consciously, considering the potential consequences of our actions.
While the Law of Karma emphasizes justice and the relationships of cause and effect, it’s also imbued with mercy and compassion. Divine mercy allows for negotiation and the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. It encourages us to seek redemption and transformation, rather than being trapped in an endless cycle of suffering.
Ultimately, the goal of understanding and working with the Law of Karma is not only to avoid negative consequences but to cultivate spiritual growth and liberation. By aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with higher principles and universal laws, we can transcend the limitations of the ego and experience a deeper sense of interconnectedness and harmony with the cosmos.
In summary, the Law of Karma is a fundamental principle that reminds us of the responsibility of our actions and invites us to seek spiritual growth through understanding, transformation, and the cultivation of positive virtues.
The four states of consciousness mentioned are Eikasia, Pistis, Dianoia, and Nous.
Eikasia, the state of sleep, represents human ignorance and cruelty, where instinct and brutality prevail. It’s a subhuman state where consciousness is asleep.
Pistis, the state of wakefulness, is the realm of opinions and beliefs. In this state, people are trapped in beliefs, prejudices, sectarianism, and fanaticism, without having a direct perception of truth. It’s the common consciousness of humanity.
Dianoia, the state of self-awareness, involves intellectual review of beliefs, analysis, and scientific thought. The dianoetic studies the inductive and deductive systems to use them deeply and clearly. It’s a state where consciousness is gradually awakening.
Nous, the state of objective consciousness, represents perfect awakened consciousness. It’s the state of Turiya, deep inner enlightenment. In this state, there is legitimate objective clairvoyance. Consciousness is fully awake, synthetic, clear, objective, and illuminated.
It’s important to use the SOL key, which represents Subject, Object, and Location, to avoid identification with the different situations in life. We must be conscious of who we are, what we are doing, and where we are in every moment of our lives. This helps us awaken consciousness and transcend the states of sleep, limited opinions, and intellectual self-awareness, moving towards objective and illuminated consciousness.
As we earnestly work on ourselves, disintegrating the ego and releasing the imprisoned essence, the liberated particles of essence add to the Divine Spark, the divine essence within us.
Currently, most people live with dormant consciousness, immersed in fascinations and identifications with external elements. We are constantly dreaming, acting mechanically, and risking our own lives seriously.
The key to awakening consciousness is to transcend these dormant states. It’s necessary to overcome Eikasia, ignorance, and barbarism, to abandon Pistis, limiting beliefs and prejudices, and to progress beyond Dianoia, intellectual and scientific analysis. The goal is to reach the state of Nous, objective and illuminated consciousness, where direct perception of truth occurs.
In this state of awakened consciousness, we can use the SOL Key — Subject, Object, and Location — to keep our awareness present in every moment. This allows us to recognize who we are, what we’re doing, and where we are in each situation of life.
Awakened consciousness doesn’t engage in illusory identifications with the external world but remains centered in the inner divine essence. It’s a state of deep illumination where simplicity, humility, and purity are distinct features.
Thus, as we work on ourselves and awaken our consciousness, we can transcend dormant states and achieve the fullness of objective consciousness, living more consciously, authentically, and connected to the divine essence within us.
Those who wish to tread the elevated, narrow, and challenging path that leads to the Light must free themselves from the constraints imposed by the ego.
Regeneration is wisely lived life. Many enter the path and forget their duties towards family, the world, and even themselves. Even during prayers, the offense can be hidden.
A basic rule for regeneration is never forgetting to be honorable, sincere, responsible, exemplary children, and model citizens who naturally fulfill the duties inherent to a citizen. We should dress appropriately, always decently, not out of pride or vanity but out of respect for others.
We shouldn’t judge anyone for not having the same goals as us in the work, as we are not perfect. Those who judge will be judged in their own time, and we have no right to criticize others’ faults. Murmuring and slander are serious obstacles to the work.
We can express our opinion but without engaging in arguments or creating controversies, setting aside pride. Let others have the freedom to accept or reject our point of view, as each person is free to think as they wish. Intellectual debates often lead to discord and resentment among people.
We need to become perfect, just as our Heavenly Father-Mother is perfect. The great mysteries are not attained through vain intellectualism; it’s WITH A CHILD’S HEART THAT WE REACH THE HIGHEST MYSTERIES.
There are many spiritual schools that “sell” salvation, but salvation is internal and happens in the inner worlds. Many desire the divine powers of our Being: I AM, but we must truly cultivate them, prepare to receive them, and avoid those who deceitfully sell them.
Continuity of purpose must be maintained, as nature doesn’t make leaps. Many wish to achieve everything in a single day, but rarely does one who perseveres in their search throughout life possess moral responsibility. “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Divine Presence has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12).
In the ancient initiation schools of the Holy Path, there were nine initiations of lesser mysteries and five important initiations of greater mysteries. The soul, the inner Self, is the one who receives the initiations, and this was something very intimate for each individual, where they wouldn’t disclose which initiation they were in.
The initiate went through the nine initiations of lesser mysteries without having worked with the Arcanum AZF, as this great mystery (the most powerful one) was revealed only in words to those who reached the ninth initiation of lesser mysteries, as only in the greater initiations is the practice of the Great Arcanum indispensable.
The candidate for initiation faced a series of tests that examined their capabilities and their desire to accomplish the Work. Now let’s discuss the five major lesser initiations: The Test of the Guardian of the Threshold and The Four Tests of the Elements.
The Test of the Guardian of the Threshold occurred first in the astral world. In this first test, a Terribly Divine Angel assumes our defects, revealing all our ugliness and wickedness. An electric hurricane precedes its arrival, and if the candidate overcomes it, it flees in terror, symbolizing the denial of our defects and the firm resolution to overcome them without fleeing from our commitment.
The Tests of the Four Elements also had to be overcome in the astral and physical planes. The Test of Fire tests the candidate’s serenity and sweetness, and those who are irascible and choleric fail in this test. In the inner worlds, the candidate is pursued and insulted, and many react and return to the physical body as failures. The Test of Air generally causes disturbances and daydreams, leading the candidate to doubt if the path is truly what he desires. In the astral, he sees himself falling into an abyss. In the Test of Water, adaptability is tested. In the inner worlds, the candidate is cast into the ocean and has the sensation of drowning. Lastly, we have the Test of Earth, in which those who succumb to the adversities of existence cannot pass. In the astral, the candidate sees himself between two enormous mountains that close threateningly. If he screams in terror, he returns to the physical body as a failure.
When the candidate passed through each of these tests, he was received with great celebration in the Hall of the Boys in the inner worlds.
The Greater Initiations consist of raising the Serpent upon the rod, just as Moshe (Moses) did in the desert. In the First Initiation of Greater Mysteries, we raise the serpent of the physical body; in the second, that of the vital body; in the third, the astral body; in the fourth, the mental body; and in the fifth, the causal body. The struggle for the ascent of Kundalini is arduous. We must conquer the Thirty-Three Degrees, corresponding to the thirty-three vertebrae, and the Kundalini rises according to the merits of the heart. This is why it’s said that Master Yeshua Há’Meshiach ascended to the heavens at the age of thirty-three.
In the fourth Initiation of Greater Mysteries, the candidate receives the degree of Buddha, as he has freed himself from the four bodies of sin. In the fifth Initiation of Greater Mysteries, he receives the degree of Master.
Those who achieve this fifth Initiation of Greater Mysteries can choose between the happiness of nirvana or continue assisting humanity and achieve the Venustic Initiation.
In summary, it’s important to reinforce that initiation is life lived intensely, with rectitude and love. Initiation is the result of the sacrifice we make for humanity
, and we mustn’t fear the suffering that may arise on our path.
In the Book of Revelation, it’s mentioned that some will face trials and may even be taken to prison. These tribulations will be temporary, lasting no more than ten days. However, it’s crucial to remain faithful to the end, as we will receive the crown of life as a reward. We must pay attention to what the Spirit says to the churches and listen to its guidance. Those who overcome will be spared from the second death.
In conclusion, the initiatory journey of life is a call to courage, perseverance, and commitment. It’s an invitation to free ourselves from the ego’s bonds, expand our consciousness, and fulfill our duties towards the human family, the world, and ourselves. As we embark on this journey, we discover that we are agents of transformation and that our actions have the power to positively impact the world around us. This journey must be embraced with gratitude, continuous learning, and a genuine desire to contribute to a better future. May we walk with courage, aligned with our highest values, always seeking wisdom and love to illuminate our path and the paths of all those we encounter.
