108 Lives

Question: Master, if we have already arrived at the last of the 108 existences that have been assigned to every human being, yet in it we are working on the path of the razor’s edge, would another opportunity be given to us in order to finish our work?

Samael Aun Weor: Noble lady, I am very pleased to answer your question: You must know with complete clarity that the laws of nature are not governed by tyrants but by just and perfect beings. Therefore, if someone—despite having finished their cycle of 108 existences—starts to tread the path of the razor’s edge and thereafter disincarnates while treading the regal path, obviously they will receive assistance. New existences will be assigned unto them so that they can achieve the realization of their Inner Self. Nevertheless, if they deviate from the secret path, if they apostatize, if they do not dissolve their ego, and backslide into their same transgressions, then they would inevitably fall into the abyss of perdition.

Can this also apply to the deadline to form part of the new race? if somebody just barely learns about gnosis and starts walking the path, yet the final catastrophe comes without them making much, if any, significant progress, will this also be taken into account?

I sincerely hope I am going to get some mercy otherwise I am not going to make it. I am really trying my very best in this embodiment.

Our future is determined by our actions today.

These lectures answer the question in more detail:

I sincerely hope I am going to get some mercy otherwise I am not going to make it. I am really trying my very best in this embodiment.

How could we move in to a level of the Being if we are not revolutionary? Let us observe the different rungs of a ladder. The rungs are discontinuous, as are the different levels of the Being.

A number of activities belong to each level of the Being. When one moves to a higher level of the Being, one has to take a leap and abandon all the activities which one had in the inferior level of the Being.

Into my memory come all those times of my life, twenty, thirty, forty years ago, which were transcended. Why? It is because I found superior levels of the Being.
The activities of those times were what constituted for me the highest priority. However, my activities of that era were suspended, cut off, because in the superior rungs of the Being there are other activities which are completely different.

If one moves into a superior level of the Being, then many things which are presently important to oneself have to be left behind, because those things belong to the level in which we were.

Therefore, the psychological transaction into another level of the Being includes a leap. That is a rebellious leap; it is never of an evolving type, it is always a revolutionary dialectic leap.
