The
man is a trio of BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT. The physical
body is a wonderful and extraordinary laboratory for the
internal Self-Realization of the Being.
The Soul is a
part of the Being which connects the Body and the
Spirit. This is the relation between Body, Man and God.
The
fact is that we only have 3% of soul, and gnostics call
it the “Essence”. The remaining 97% is fractionated
and bottled into the Ego. The Ego, in fact, is a group
of psychological “selves” which characterize soul
defects.
The phsychological defects (selves) are what we
call Anger, Pride, Jealousy, Envy, Covetousness,
Gluttony, Selfishness, Lust, Addiction, Laziness, etc.
and etc.
The ego is a group of “selves”. Virgil, the
author of Aenid, had already said that even though we
had a thousand tongues and a steel palate, they could
not be completely listed…
We
have a hard job to carry out with psychological defects,
because each “self” imprisons within itself a
particle or percentage of the consciousness, which is
the Essence.
The “self” is the antithesis of
Essence, and the death of the “selves “ releases
consciousness, which is the psychic material that makes
us perceive God’s reality within and without of
ourselves.
So
if we eliminate, for example, the “selves” of Anger,
meekness, good temper and inner peace will begin to
develop within us.
If we eliminate the “selves” of
laziness, willingness and disposition will be born
within us. If we eliminate the “selves” of envy,
philanthropy will be born in us, which is that sensation
that causes us to be satisfied and delighted with the
progress and ascension of others.
If we eliminate the
“selves” of selfishness, we will see altruism being
formed in us, that is, love for our fellow-beings,
self-denial and universal sentiments. If we eliminate
the “self” of pride, real humility, and naturalness
will be born in us… If we eliminate the different
“selves” of lust, chastity, faithfulness will be
born in us… and so on.
Inner
peace, altruism, humility, spontaneity, harmony, joy,
equilibrium, creativity, wisdom, virtuosity, power,
will, philanthropy, conscious love, etc. and etc., are
ingredients of the soul, that is, of the consciousness.
However, all of us have a soul that is divided up
between several distinct
“selves” which we need to recognize in order
to disintegrate them with the power of our internal
Divine Mother (see the subject “Divine Mother”).
If
we go through our lives dying in ourselves, that is,
eliminating the thousands of psychological defects
through continuous supplications to the Divine Mother,
then we will make wonderfully good use of our life and
we fit into what St Francis of Assis said in his famous
prayer: “…and it is dying that we live unto eternal
life.”
Only
those who have a Soul will gain eternal life. To form
the soul is a question of continuously seeking for
death, since the soul is produced by the death of ego,
so that is when we acquire real individuality and
self-consciousness.
Jesus
of Nazareth, the Great Kabir of Galilee, said:
“With
patience you will possess your souls”
“The
soul of each person suffers by carrying a crushing load:
the persona."
To
possess the soul is something very different, however it
is written:
"WITH
PATIENCE YOU WILL POSSESS YOUR SOULS…”
(V.M.
Samael Aun Weor)
Individuality
and unity is in the Being, in the ego is the plurality
of “selves” and their multiplicity, for which reason
everyone forms an opinion about it, according to his own
way.
There is only one truth about man, about life and
about God and we must find it inside ourselves, since
there cannot be many truths about a single “thing”.
We find truth when we awaken the consciousness, which is
the means by which we obtain knowledge contained in
nature, to build wisdom.
When
we make good use of life to eliminate the “selves”,
then this Essence begins to become a Soul.
When this
happens the Soul needs to be clothed in its Solar Bodies
(Astral, Mental and Causal) to become an Angel. The
Angel is the real Man.
While the Solar Bodies are not
created by transmutation of creative energy (sexual
alchemy), the being is not considered a Man but an
Intelectual humanoid.
Only those who become an Angel can
incarnate the Spirit, since only the Electronic Bodies
(Solar Bodies) are able to support the voltage of the
Spirit.
As long as it is not possible to incarnate it,
we only tune into the Spirit. It is necessary to
understand that Solar Bodies must be created and it is
very different from the four (4) Bodies (physical,
vital, antral and mental), called Inferior Quaternary.
Self-Knowledge
of the Being
When
the seeker has already given form to the Soul and
clothed his solar vehicles, then he joins ATMAN (the
Innermost or Universal Soul), our Internal Master, who
is another part of our Being (God). Atman is the Spirit.
Each person has his own Atman, his internal Master.
Later on, the internal master CHRISTIFIES and turns into
a Great Master to acquire perfection in mastership.
A
Christified Master is the one who had incarnated and
absorbed into himself the God-Child who is an integral
part of the Divine Trinity. Remembering that Trinity
FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT are the three superior parts
of the Being, because God has many parts, which are
unfoldings of HIMSELF.
Therefore,
we can say that if God exists as Father and God as Holy
Spirit, there is also God as Son, which is the CHRIST.
He is the beloved Son of the Father. When Jesus of
Nazareth had entirely incarnated the God-Child, his name
became Jesus Christ, with the purpose of leaving us his
doctrine of “I AM”, that is, the CHRIST doctrine.
Only those who incarnate the Christ can say:” I AM THE
WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.”
Now, we are going to
understand why Jesus had said that no one goes to the
Father without the Son, because to reach the Father, one
must first be christified.
This is the greatest
aspiration of a soul. Whoever christifies himself, goes
to the Father and absorbs within himself the three
powerful forces of nature, on which everything is
dependent, that is, on the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY
SPIRIT. Reaching this stage he becomes, in fact, a
prototype of God, and then what is human becomes divine
and the Spirit is humanized to penetrate, full of
majesty, the infinite amphitheater of creation.
This
is the Inner Self-Realization of the Being. Now, we can
understand that God is a group of Gods which has the
power to create and re-create through the Word and they
are far beyond good and evil… The purpose of creation
is to engender Gods with wonderful power to create, to
organize and to coordinate the universe, because “Gods
are God and God are Gods”, Jesus Christ is a God-Man
and those who incarnate the Spirit, incarnate their
innermost God. The Essence is a little part of God, thus
it is always eternal…
“What
I have done you can do too, and much more”
(V.M.
Jesus Christ)
The
Christ principle in different cultures
“…Christ
is not only an individual; Christ is a Cosmic Principle
which we must assimilate within our own physical,
psychic, somatic and spiritual nature, through Sexual
Magic.
Amongst the Persians, Christ is Ormuz, Ahura
Mazda, the terrible enemy of Ahriman (Satan), which we
have within us.
Amongst the Hindus, Krishna is Christ,
and the gospel of Krishna is very similar to that of
Jesus of Nazareth.
Among the Egyptians, Christ is Osiris
and whoever incarnated him was in fact an Osirified One.
Amongst
the Chinese it is Fu Hsi, the Cosmic Christ who composed
the I-Ching (The Book of Laws) and named the Dragon
Ministers. Among the Greeks, Christ is called Zeus,
Jupiter, the Father of the Gods. Amongst the Aztecs it
is Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican Christ.
In the Germanic
Edda it is Balder, the Christ who was assassinated by
Hoder, God of War, with an arrow of mistletoe. Thus we
can find the Cosmic Christ in thousands of ancient texts
and old traditions that came millions of years before
Jesus.
All this invites us to accept that Christ is a
Cosmic Principle contained in the essential principles
of all religions. In fact, there is only one religion,
unique and cosmic. This religion assumes different
religious forms, according to times and needs of
humanity.
Therefore,
religious conflicts are absurd because, at their
foundation all religions are only modifications of the
Universal Cosmic Religion.
From this point of view, we
affirm that this book is not against any religion,
school or system of thought. The only purpose of this
book is to give to humankind a KEY, a sexual secret, a
KEY with which every living being may assimilate the
Christic principle contained in the foundation of all
the great religions of the world...”
(V.M.
Samael Aun Weor)
