Hello instructors I hope you're all doing well!

I'm 25 years old, I've been working mostly in remodeling homes after high school to have money saved up since it was hard to work and be in college at the same time at first. So I dropped out at 21. Now I have some money saved up, a decent car, and I'm planning on going back to college this year.

I've been reading Samael's teachings this past year and they're really interesting I am a Christian so it resonates pretty well. However, I've noticed that he mentions reading too many books and filling up the mind with theories can harm the mind for spiritual pursuits. For example here,

"I have been teaching the practice of astral projection to many people, and those who had not falsified their minds with so many theories could easily learn to enter and leave their physical body at will, but the spiritual parrots have been taught that astral projection “is very difficult.” Because they have falsified their minds with the foolishness of the intellect, they have broken their mental bodies and lost all their powers.

I have seen that intellectualism vampirizes, sucks, and absorbs all the psychic forces of the Being, and this is how I understand that the spiritual parrots do not have enough strength to consciously go out in their astral bodies.

The state of these beings is really lamentable. I have been speaking to them, but they do not understand me. Their minds are so petrified in their brains that when a true adept speaks to them, they simply interpret everything as fantastic and illusory. Because the mind of an adept escapes that crude materialism to which they are so subjected, and since they cannot understand it, they resolve rather to criticize and ridicule. This is the state of comprehension of those wretched spiritual parrots."

Also, "Intellectualism is the opposite pole of intelligence; it is very different from the "Illuminated Intellect." Intellectualism is a mixture of the psychological "I" with the information acquired through the external senses. Intelligence is an attribute of the Being; it is a faculty of the superlative consciousness of the Being. The conscious humanity works with intelligence; the tenebrous mechanical humanity gets its levels of social, economic and political prestige by working with the astute intellectualism, working with the mechanical part of the intellectual center; this means, with the worst part of it." - Samael Aun Weor

I do meditate about an hour each night so as to somewhat counteract this intellectualism, and get plenty of exercise at work. However, I'm afraid that if I study a subject like Physics that it will hamper my spiritual development.

Thank you guys, we are really blessed to have you. I will be praying tonight for your success on your journey!

A good industrialist, someone who has a very special factory of..., good pants, clearly told me the other day:

– “Well, master, if I disintegrate the ego that makes pants, which is a useful ego, which is a good ego, then my factory will break." [May that ego rest in peace and the factory is over)”.

I told him: "It will not end! Because the being has many autonomous and cognizant parts, and there is a part that is cognizant of yourself, a part of your own being, which can perfectly replace that good or useful ego, and that will make the pants much better. Summary: the factory will not finish, it continues”...


Similarly, if you study consciously, without intellectualizing it or making your studies egotistical (pride, vanity, etc), then you will comprehend physics very well.

Great! Thanks Alexis, I admire the musicians, poets and sculptors that Samael speaks about a lot, and I understand art comes from the heart. I was afraid that getting too much into detail about nature like Physics and mathematics would take over the energies of the heart and imagination because I'm something of an artist myself, but I need a reliable vocation to support myself so I'm getting into the STEM field. Thanks again! Cheers

In reality, there is no separation between forms of knowledge. Conscious knowledge is comprehensive, complete.

"Do not worry; cultivate the habit of being happy." - Samael Aun Weor
