Within that world, which is the realm of comprehension, everything is abstract and apparently incoherent. This incoherence appears at the time one takes the first steps into the world of comprehension.
The mind and the psychological universe are found within a great chaos. This is why there is no concatenation of ideas, sentiments, etc.
In the 49 levels of the subconsciousness, there is a great quantity of files with powerful information. Unfortunately however, they are found in disorder and anarchy.
When one works in the world of comprehension, images and words emerge in the form of koans.
In the first works on the comprehension of defects, the assistance of sleepiness becomes necessary. In this comprehensive action one reaches confused levels, where images do not have coherence and where color does not yet possess neatness, in other words, color does not possess much brightness.
One of the principal obstacles in the comprehension of a defect is not being able to focus on the psychological element being studied; this is because the mind tends towards distraction.
In the world of comprehension when one tries to work on an “I,” everything becomes dark; one cannot see anything at all, and at certain moments the consciousness loses its lucidity, thus rapidly falling into fascination.
The current of thoughts and sentiments is an obstacle in order to arrive at the comprehension of a defect.
When we want to comprehend an “I,” we fall into a dark void; we fall into a kind of amnesia within which we do not know what we are doing, who we are or where we are.
The force of Eros and the creative energy are the most perfect helpers for comprehension.
The creative energy, transmuted or sublimated during Sexual Magic1 (without the ejaculation of the entity of the semen), opens up the 49 levels of the subconsciousness, thus causing all of the “I’s” (which we have hidden) to come out from within them. These psychic aggregates emerge in the form of dramas, comedies, movies, and through symbols and parables.
It is written that the clue of comprehension is found within these three psychological keys: Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition.
Imagination
For the wise, to imagine is to see. Imagination is the translucence of the soul.
In order to attain Imagination it is important to learn how to concentrate thought on only one thing. Whosoever learns to think about only one thing makes marvels and prodigies.
The Gnostic who wants to reach Imaginative Knowledge must learn to concentrate and know how to meditate. The Gnostic must provoke drowsiness during the practice of meditation.
Meditation must be correct. The mind must be exact. Logical thought and exact concept are needed for the purpose of developing the internal senses absolutely perfectly.
The Gnostic needs a lot of patience because any act of impatience leads him towards failure.
Patience, willpower, and an absolutely conscious faith are necessary on the path of the revolution of the dialectic.
On any given day, within dreams (while in meditation) a distant picture, a landscape of nature, a feature, etc. emerges. This is a sign that there is progress.
The Gnostic elevates himself little by little into Imaginative Knowledge. The Gnostic is lifting the Veil of Isis little by little.
Whosoever awakens consciousness has reached Imaginative Knowledge. He moves into the world of symbolic images.
Those symbols that he saw while he was dreaming (when he tried to comprehend the ego during meditation) he now sees without dreaming; before he saw them with a sleeping consciousness. Now he moves himself among them with a vigilant consciousness, even when his physical body is profoundly asleep.
Inspiration
When the Gnostic reaches Imaginative Knowledge he sees the symbols but he does not understand them. He comprehends that all of nature and the ego are a living scripture that he does not know. The Gnostic then needs to elevate himself towards the Inspired Knowledge, in order to interpret the sacred symbols of great nature and the abstract language of the ego.
Inspired Knowledge grants us the power of interpreting the symbols of great nature and the confused language of the ego.
The interpretation of symbols is very delicate. Symbols must be analyzed coldly, without superstition, maliciousness, mistrust, pride, vanity, fanaticism, prejudgments, preconceptions, hatred, envy, greed, jealousy, etc. All of these factors belong to the “I.”
When the “I” interferes by translating and interpreting symbols, it then alters the meaning of the secret writing and the orientation that symbolically the Being wants to give us in relation with our own internal psychological state.
Interpretation must be tremendously analytical, highly scientific, and essentially mystical. It is necessary to learn how to see and how to interpret in the absence of the loose cathexis, that is, the ego, the “myself.”
It is necessary to learn how to interpret the symbols of the great nature and those of the bound cathexis in the absolute absence of the “I.” Nonetheless, self-criticism must be multiplied because when the “I” of the Gnostic believes that he knows a lot he then feels himself to be infallible, omniscient, and wise, he even supposes that he sees and interprets in the absence of the “I.”
There is a need to know how to interpret based upon the law of philosophical analogies, on the law of correspondences, and on the numerical Kabbalah.
We recommend The Mystical Kabbalah by Dion Fortune and my book entitled Tarot and Kabbalah; study them.
Whosoever has hatred, resentment, jealousy, envy, pride, etc., does not achieve the elevatation of himself towards Inspired Knowledge.
When we elevate ourselves to Inspired Knowledge, we understand and comprehend that there is no accidental accumulation of objects. Really, all phenomena of nature and all objects are found intimately and organically joined together, internally dependent upon each other and mutually conditioning each other. Really, no phenomena of nature can be integrally comprehended if we consider it isolated.2
Everything is in incessant movement. Everything changes, nothing is quiet. In every object there is internal struggle. An object is positive and negative at the same time. Quantitative transforms itself into qualitative.
Inspired Knowledge permits us to know the inner relationship between everything which is, has been, and will be.
Matter is nothing but condensed energy. The infinite modifications of energy are absolutely unknown; this is true as much for historic materialism as for dialectic materialism.
Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the velocity of the light squared.
We the Gnostics separate ourselves from the antithetical struggle between metaphysics and dialectical materialism. Those are the two poles of ignorance, the two antitheses of error.
We walk on another path; we are Gnostics, we consider life as a whole.
The object is a point in space which serves as a vehicle to specific sums of values.
Inspired Knowledge permits us to study the intimate relationship between all shapes, all psychological values, and nature. Dialectic materialism does not know the values. It only studies the object. Metaphysics does not know the values or the object. Therefore, we, the Gnostics, withdraw ourselves from these two antitheses of ignorance. We, the Gnostics, study the human being and nature integrally, seeking an integral revolution.
The Gnostic who wants to reach Inspired Knowledge must concentrate profoundly on music. The Magic Flute of Mozart reminds us of an Egyptian Initiation. The nine symphonies of Beethoven and many other great classical compositions, like Wagner’s Parsifal (among others), elevate us to Inspired Knowledge.
The Gnostic, profoundly concentrated on the music, must absorb himself within it, as a bee within honey, which is the product of his whole labor.
When the Gnostic has already reached Inspired Knowledge, he must then prepare himself for Intuitive Knowledge.
Intuition
The world of Intuition is the world of mathematics. The Gnostic who wants to elevate himself to the world of Intuition must be a mathematician or at least must have notions of arithmetic.
Mathematical formulas grant us Intuitive Knowledge.
If the Gnostic practices with tenacity and supreme patience, then his own internal god (bound cathexis) will teach him and instruct him in the Great Work. Thus, he will study at the feet of the master. He will elevate himself to Intuitive Knowledge.
Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition are the three obligatory steps of the revolution of the dialectic. Whosoever has followed these three steps of direct knowledge has achieved supraconsciousness.
In the world of Intuition, we only find omniscience. The world of Intuition is the world of the Being. It is the world of the Innermost.
The “I,” the ego, the loose cathexis, cannot enter into the world of Intuition. The world of intuition is the world of the universal spirit of life.
Human Problems
The cunning and repugnant Luciferic intellect creates problems, yet it is not capable of resolving them.
There are many theories that resolve nothing and complicate everything. The vital problems of existence continue as always. Meanwhile the world is very close to the Third World War.
The intellectual animal, falsely called a human being, feels very proud of his subjective and miserable reasoning that resolves nothing and complicates everything.
In practice, the tremendous battle of thought has demonstrated to be the least indicative to resolve problems.
In this day and age of worldly crisis, the “know it alls” who want to resolve everything (yet resolve nothing) are very abundant.
The “know-it-alls” harm the fruits of the earth with their absurd hybrids. They also infect children with their vaccines of tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, typhoid, etc. Those “know-it-alls” boast of knowing everything, yet they know nothing. They cause harm with everything that they have created and they boast of being sapient.
The mind creates problems that it is not capable of resolving. The game of the mind is in bad taste.
It is as true today as it was yesterday that the poor human biped (like a wretched and miserable simian) is nothing more than a mechanical toy moved about by forces that he ignores.Any cosmic event, any sidereal catastrophe, produces certain types of waves. Thereafter, these waves are captured by the unhappy animal mistakenly called a human being; he then converts them into world wars where millions of human machines unconsciously launch themselves to the stupid task of destroying millions of other human machines.
The comic and the tragic always walk side by side. Thus, the comical things of this situation are the flags, the mottoes, and all the phrases that are invented by all of those unconscious machines. They proclaim that they are going to war because they have to defend democracy, freedom, their country, etc.
The great thinkers who are known in the world as journalists (the prostitutes of intelligence) ignore that these wars are the outcome of certain cosmic waves in action and that the armies on the battlefield move like automatic puppets under the dynamic impulse of those unknown forces.
The minds of these poor intellectual animals have never resolved a fundamental problem because the intellect is the faculty that allows us to comprehend that everything is incomprehensible.
The great intellectuals have totally failed; this is being demonstrated to satiety by the catastrophic state which we are in... Mr. Intellectual, there you have your world, the chaotic and miserable world that you have created with your theories! The facts are speaking for themselves. You proud intellectuals, you have failed!
The struggle of reasoning within its intimate nature is egocentric. We need a new faculty that is not egocentric.
We need the battle to cease so that thought will remain still and serene. This is only possible by deeply comprehending the entire mechanism of subjective and miserable reasoning.
While in the serenity of thought a new faculty is born within us. The name of this faculty is Intuition. Only intuition can resolve problems.
It is obvious that if we want to develop this new faculty, we first need to comprehend in depth the complicated associative mechanism of subjective reasoning. The basic center of mechanical reasoning is the psychological “I.” That center is egotistical. This is why it can never resolve problems.
Intuition has nothing to do with that basic center of reasoning. Intuition is Christcentric.
Every problem has been created by the mind and exists as long as the mind sustains it. Every problem is a mental form that the mind sustains.
Every mental form has a triple process: emergence, subsistence, and dissipation. Every problem emerges, subsists, and then dissipates. The problem emerges because the mind creates it, it subsists as long as the mind does not forget it, and it dissipates or dissolves when the mind forgets it.
When thought ceases, beatitude is then born within us, and later, illumination comes. Before arriving at illumination we must first pass through beatitude.
Three are the phases of transformation: non-thinking, beatitude, and illumination. Intuition is illumination. Every enlightened person resolves the most difficult problems.
Indeed, problems cease to exist when we forget them. We must not try to resolve problems, we must dissolve them. They are dissolved when they are forgotten.
The problem is an ultra-sensible mental form with two poles, one positive and the other negative.
Do not be afraid; forget the problem. Thus, in this manner, the problem will be dissolved. Do you know how to play chess? A game of chess would not be a bad idea in order to forget the problem, or drink a cup of coffee or a good cup of tea and then go to the swimming pool and swim, or climb a mountain and laugh a little; it feels good to laugh. This will cause you to forget the problem. At any moment, a hunch comes and the problem is then resolved. Perhaps the solution is not to your liking, yet the truth is that the problem is resolved, or better said, dissolved.
A sage once stated, “Take care of the thing before it comes into existence, therein is where any solution lies, because let us not forget that the problem has been born and has its existence within the mind.”
The fact that it is raining and that you have left your umbrella at home is not a problem indeed; neither is it a problem the fact that you have debts or that you have lost your job and it is urgent for you to pay your debts. These facts are relatively true in a relative world. However, problems are something that you must kill before they are born, or solve them later, bearing in mind that the more time we allow to elapse, the greater the giant (the problem that we will have to overcome) will be.
Fear is our worst enemy. The demon of fear does not like us to resolve problems. Are you afraid that you will be thrown out on the street because you do not have money to pay the rent? Okay, might they throw you out? So what? Do you by any chance know what new doors will be opened for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive person is not afraid. Intuition dissolves problems.
Are you afraid of losing your job? Okay, you might lose it, so what? Do you by any chance know what new job there will be for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive person is not afraid.
When the battle of thought ceases, intuition is born, and fear ends. Intuition dissolves problems no matter how difficult they may be.
