here it is.

The following is from Samael Aun Weor

Let us start our lecture that we could denominate ‘Intuition’ First of all we must begin from the foundation; the Human Being. Where did we come from? Where are we going? What is the reason for our existence? What do we exist for? Why do we exist?

Behold, we have here a lot of questions that we must clarify and resolve. A child is born, and as a fact he receives a physical body in a gratuitous form, this is obvious. This physical body is marvelous. It has about 15,000 x a million neurons that are in the service of the child, and it cost him nothing.

The Sensual Mind

While the child is growing his Sensual Mind is being opened little by little. This sensual mind in itself and by itself gives the child information through external sensorial perceptions and it is precisely with the information granted through such perceptions that the sensual mind always elaborates the contents of it’s concepts; because of this, our present mind can never know anything about reality. It’s Reasoning processes are subjective, they move within a vicious circle, the circle of external sensorial perceptions, this is obvious.

Now you will comprehend by yourselves, maybe a little more clearly, what subjective reasoning is in itself, but a complete differentiation between subjective reasoning and objective reasoning must be done. It is obvious that the child has to go through all the educational processes; kindergarten, elementary, high school, and university. The subjective reasoning is nourished with all the data that these distinct scholastic institutions grant unto it. But truly no educational institute can give to a child, youth, or teenager existing data about that which is not of time, about that which is reality.

Truly, the speculations of subjective reasoning always arrive at Intellectualism, at the absurd field of utopism or, in the best cases, towards simple opinions of a subjective type, but never to the experience of the truth, never to experience that which is not from time.

On the other hand, objective reasoning, that disgracefully does not receive any instruction because there is no school that teaches it, remains abandoned.

Undoubtedly, objective reasoning processes obviously conduct us towards exact and perfect postulates. The child is always subjectively educated from place to place; for him no form of superior instruction exists.

All data, all scholastic matters, all family matters, etc. that the senses grant to the subjective mind of the teenager are merely empirical and subjective and this is pitiful.

Towards the beginning, the child has still not lost the capacity of astonishment. Obviously the child looks in wonder on any phenomena. A beautiful toy awakens in him this astonishment, and with this toy the child plays. This capacity of wonder disappears as the child grows, as his sensual mind receives data from school and collage. Finally the instant in which the child becomes a youth arrives and the young boy has already completely lost this capacity of astonishment.

Unfortunately the data that one receives in collages, schools and educational centers only serve to nourish the sensual mind, and nothing else. In this way, actually with these educational systems, from schools, academies, and universities the only thing that we can really achieve there is to make for ourselves an artificial Personality. To give an account of this, in reality, truly, the knowledge that is studied in Humanities will never serve to form the Psychological Human Being. In the name of truth we have to say clearly that the topics that are actually studied in educational institutes don’t have any real relationship with the distinct parts of our Being. Therefore, these topics serve only to:

First: Falsify the knowledge of the five cylinders of the organic machine.

Second: To take the capacity of astonishment away from us.

Third: To develop the sensual mind.

Fourth: To form a false personality within us.

Therefore, it should be clearly understood that the sensual mind cannot produce any radical transformation in any way within ourselves. It is very convenient to understand that the sensual mind can never take us from the autonomism and mechanicity, in which we find the people of all the world, even if they appear to be people of a very cultured mind.

Its one thing to be an animalistic human being, an Intellectual Animal, certainly it is quite another thing to be a true Psychological Man. Naturally, when I use the Word “Man” I also mean Woman. But this must be clearly understood.

The Psychological Man and Woman

We were born with a marvelous physical body, but really we truly need to make something more. To form a physical body is not difficult, because we inherit it, but to form is a Psychological Man is very difficult. We do not need to work upon ourselves in order to form a physical body, but it’s very obvious that we need to work upon ourselves in order to form a Psychological Man.

As a Matter of fact, in order to create a Psychological Man, who is a true Man in the most complete sense of the word, we need to organize the psyche which is disorganized.

The Master Gurdjieff said that the organic machine doesn’t have a Psychology. I have to strongly disagree with him on this matter. A psychology really exists within any organic machine that we mistakenly call Man. The fact is, that this machine is very disorganized, and this is different. If it is true that we want to create the true Man, who is the Psychological Man, then it is urgent, unpostponable, and undeferable that we organize this psychology within the intellectual animal.

Let us then see the difference between the intellectual animal, mistakenly called Man, and the true and authentic Psychological Man. If we want to create such a Man within, then we need to work upon ourselves. Nonetheless, there is a struggle within us because the sensual mind is the clear enemy of the superior mind.

The sensual mind is identified with any circumstance, for example, if suddenly we find ourselves at a sumptuous banquet and we identify ourselves a great deal with the food we will convert ourselves into gluttons or if we get identified with the wine, we end up drunk. If we see a person of the opposite sex in front of us who is fascinating and interesting, we will become very identified with that person and end up fornicating or simply, we are changed into adulterers. To create the Psychological Man in these circumstances, in this way, is not possible.

If in some way we have to start the work of creating the Psychological Man, this will come from real, true work on ourselves, without ever getting identified with any circumstance, while observing ourselves from instant to instant, from moment to moment. There are some people who are mistaken about the path.

There are societies, schools, orders, lodges, religions, sects, which pretend to organize the human psyche by means of certain golden maxims. Communities that pretend to achieve something that they call purifications or Sanctity by means of such maxims. It is urgent that we analyze all of this.

It is obvious that any type of ethical or religious maxim can never serve as a pattern for the distinct events of life.

For example, a maxim that is structured with superior logic, like the logic of Ouspensky, will never truly create a new cosmos, neither a new nature. To strictly subordinate ourselves to a maxim with the purpose of organizing our psyche would be absurd. Obviously this is significant of converting ourselves into slaves.

Therefore, it is convenient that we should reflect upon many ethical catalogs and moral codes that are held as Golden Maxims.

Moreover, there is a lot that needs to be analyzed before entering oneself in the work of the organization of the psyche. For example, a demonstrative annunciation, even if very wise and perfect, could still be unquestionably false, or even worse, intentionally false.

Accordingly, in order to anticipate a transformation within ourselves, we have to become a little more individualistic. I am not saying to become selfish, this must be understood. We must learn to think better, in a more independent and perfect way, other than through many sacred sayings, through many Golden Maxims, and as already mentioned, through aphorisms that all the world considers perfect. These Maxims will never serve as patterns of measurement in order to achieve the authentic transformation and in order to achieve the organization of the psyche within ourselves.

The fact of the matter is to organize the interior psyche, and we have to leave all the subjective rationalism in order to get to the root of the matter. To confront our own errors as they are without justifying them does not mean that we must flee from them. Do not intend to excuse them. There is a need to become more serious in the analysis. We must be more judicious, more comprehensive.

If we truly do not search for evasiveness, then we can work on ourselves in order to achieve the organization of the Psychological Man and stop being intellectual animals, as we are at this very moment.

[adonis777]

Psychological Self-observation is basic. Truly, to observe ourselves from instant to instant, from second to second is necessary. What is the purpose of self-observation? The discovering of our different types of psychological Defects. But, they must be discovered in the field of action, by directly and judiciously observing them, without evasion, without justification, without any type of escape.

Once a defect has been discovered, then and only then, we can comprehend it, and when we attempt to comprehend it we must, I repeat, be severe with ourselves. Many, when they attempt to comprehend an error they justify it or evade it, or try to hide it from themselves. This is absurd. There are some little Gnostic brothers and sisters who, when discovering this or that defect in themselves they begin with their mind, as we will say, their theoretical mind, to start to make up speculations. This is very grave because as I already said and I repeat again in this moment, speculations of the merely subjective mind forcibly dump themselves into the field of Utopianism, this is obvious.

Therefore if an error is what we want to understand, then mere subjective speculations must be eliminated and in order for them to be eliminated, to have been directly observing the error is necessary. Only like this through the means of correct Observation it is possible to correct the tendency towards speculation.

Once we have integrally comprehended any psychological defect in all of the levels of the mind, then one can have the luxury of breaking and disintegrating it, reducing it to ashes, to cosmic dust. Nevertheless we must not ever forget that the mind by itself cannot radically alter any defect at all.

The mind by itself can label any defect with different names, pass defects from one level to the other, to hide them from itself or to hide them from other defects but never can it disintegrate a defect.

Many times I have taught here that we need a power superior to the mind, a power that can truly reduce to ashes any defect of a psychological type.

Fortunately this power exists in the depth of our psyche. I’m clearly referring to Stella Maris, the Virgin of the Sea, a variation of our own Being. She is a derivative of our Being. If we concentrate ourselves on this variant force that exists within our psyche, that force that some civilizations denominated as Isis, others Tonantzin, others Diana etc., then we will be assisted and the defect in question can be reduced to cosmic dust.

Any psychological Aggregate, vivid personification of this or that error, once it has been disintegrated something is liberated, this is what is called Essence. It is clear that within any of those bottles which are known as psychic aggregates, some Essence or animated Consciousness exists, bottled up. So when breaking this or that error the percentage of Essence which has been placed or embottled there is liberated.

Each time a percentage of Buddhic Essence is liberated the percentage of Consciousness increases as a fact. Likewise while we are breaking these psychic aggregates the percentage of awakened Consciousness will multiply, and when the totality of the psychic aggregates is reduced to ashes likewise the Consciousness will awaken in its totality.

If we just break fifty percent of the inhuman undesirable elements then obviously we will possess fifty percent of objective awakened Consciousness, But if we attain the destruction of a hundred percent of our undesirable elements we will attain as a fact and for our own right, one hundred percent Objective Consciousness. Thus, based on incessant multiplications our Consciousness will shine each time more and more, this is obvious.

To attain absolute awakening is what we want, and this is possible if we march on the correct path. If we do the contrary then to attain this will be impossible. This is clear.

In any case in the same way that we are diminishing the undesirable psychic elements that we carry in our interior, distinct siddhis or luminous faculties will bloom within our Psyche and when the Buddhist Annihilation has been achieved, truly then we will achieve the most absolute illumination. This word “Buddhist Annihilation” bothers very much other determined organizations of a pseudo-Esoteric, pseudo-Occult type. For us instead of this word sickening us, it really pleases us because to attain one hundred percent Consciousness is what we long for.
