All
humanity lives in a deep sleep.
“Every
human being can attain the experience of reality. Every
human being has the right to have great spiritual
experiences, to know the kingdom and nations of the
electronic and molecular regions.
Every
aspirant has the right to study at the feet of the guru,
to enter through the splendid doors of the Great Mystery
Temples, to talk face-to-face with the shining sons of
the dawn of the Maha-Mahavamtara of creation.
However,
we must begin by awakening the consciousness.
It
is impossible to be awake in the Superior Worlds if
here, at this cellular, physical, and material world,
the aspirant is sleeping. Whoever desires to awaken the
consciousness in the inner worlds must be awakened in
this dense world, here and now.
If
the aspirant has not awakened his consciousness here, in
this world, he will certainly not be awakened in the
superior worlds.
Those
who awaken their consciousness here and now will be
awake everywhere. Whoever awakens his consciousness here
in this physical world, in fact and by his own right,
remains awake in the Superior Worlds.
The
first thing you must know in order to awaken your
consciousness is to know that you are asleep.
To
understand that you are asleep is something very
difficult, because everyone is usually absolutely
convinced that they are awake. When a man understands he
is asleep, then the self-awaking process begins.
We
are saying something that no one agrees with.
If
we would say to any intelectual man he is asleep, he
will certainly be offended. People are fully convinced
that they are awake.
People
work asleep, dreaming… they handle cars asleep,
dreaming… they get married asleep, they live asleep,
dreaming… nevertheless, they are fully convinced that
they are awake.
Whoever
desires to awaken their consciousness, here and now,
must start by understanding the three subconscious
factors called: identification, fascination and
dreaming.
Every
type of identification produces fascination and
dreaming.
We
are walking on a street; suddenly we meet a mob going to
protest against something in front of the Presidential
palace. If we are not in an alert state we easily
identify ourselves with the troop, join the mob, get
fascinated and then the dream comes in: we shout, throw
rocks, and do things we would not do in other
circumstances, not even to win a million dollars.
Forgetting
ourselves is an error of inestimable consequences. To
identify ourselves with something is a stupid thing
because it results in fascination and a dream.
It
is impossible for someone to awaken his consciousness if
he gets fascinated, if he falls into dream."
Fascination
“Fascination
is the cause of the deep sleep in which humanity lives.
People
are fascinated with everything life offers. People
forget themselves because they are fascinated.
The
drunk in the bar is fascinated with alcohol, the place,
the pleasure, his friends and women.
The
vain woman is fascinated with her own charm in front of
the mirror.
The
greedy man is fascinated with his money and his
properties. The honest worker is fascinated with his
hard work in the factory.
The
father of a family is fascinated with his children.
Every
human being is fascinated and they are in a deep sleep.
When
we drive a car we are amazed when we see people on the
streets and avenues rushing out in front of the vehicle,
disregarding the imminent danger. Others throw
themselves down directly under the car wheels. Poor
people… they are walking in their sleep… they look
like sleepwalkers, because they walk while they are
asleep and put their own lives in risk.
Any
clairvoyant can see their dreams. People dream about
anything that keeps them fascinated.”
Meditation
and mystical death are the means to awaken
consciousness.
