Why should a starving man, a poor man, or a man who was kicked into the streets to live with rats during christmas feel happy about the wealth of billionaires? Why should he stand by watching people like Bezos buy billion dollar superyachts while he has to eat rotten food out of the trash? Isn't it his right to revolt, to take by force what the ruling class has stolen from him?
Why gods allow the world to be like this? Why haven't they unleashed the apocalypse yet? Haven't we suffered enough? How many children are yet to be placed as a sacrifice under the feet of Mammon?

Change begins within the individual, and anger will never cause positive change in our personal life or in our world. Instead of anger and hatred, we need to bring Christ into our hearts, if we want to positively change our lives and the world.
Q. Master, much has been spoken about the coming of the antichrist, yet indeed, who is the antichrist?
A. The antichrist is now here living amongst humanity, and is making a gigantic crusade in all of the countries of the world. Namely, the antichrist speaks through millions of people, invents rockets that even reach the moon, invents ultrasonic airplanes, drugs that as “medicine” produce portentousness, etc. Understand that the antichrist is precisely the contrary of the Inner Christ: in other words, the antichrist is the animal ego, which, with its sparkling and terrible mind, victoriously develops. Behold, how the entire world kneels before the antichrist and says, “There is no one like unto the antichrist.” The antichrist of false science performs marvels and the entire world reverently kneels before him. Millions of people say, “Who is like the antichrist? Who is capable of doing what he does?” The scientists of the antichrist hate the Eternal One.
Q. How can the poor conciliate the two polarities, I mean, to conciliate the economical situation with the matters related with the consciousness?
A. Well, this matter about the psychological work is completely different. It is convenient to know how to educate so that the poor can be liberated. If we observe the poor, we will see indubitably that the poor are living in an infrahuman state. Some time ago I was observing a group of “Parachutists” (a Mexican term for those who invade private estate properties) who in the capital of Mexico had unexpectedly expropriated some private land. The place they expropriated was close to my home, thus, I decided to observe them from the balcony of my home. They had an infrahuman life. They lived always inebriated. In the colony where I lived, we very seldom saw a police patrol, yet since those “Parachutists” invaded the place, the police patrols started to circulate very often in the neighborhood. Previously, we never witnessed any blood incident, yet with them around, these became frequent. They always lived fighting amongst themselves, treating each other very badly instead of sharing, in the midst of their own suffering, as good neighbors, instead of treating each other as brothers and sisters. I thought that if one of these people changed their Level of Being, how different this person could become. However, in order for them to make a step ahead in their Level of Being, unquestionably, they would have to receive the information from someone who would have the amiability of descending to them to explain the way they could change their Level of Being, the way in which they could pass to a higher Level of Being.
A person can pass into a higher Level of Being if, already aware of this psychological work, he will decide to eliminate his or her inhuman defects, to eliminate his or her psychological errors. Yet, unquestionably, if his or her errors are eliminated, he or she will move out of the level with respect to those who live with them; yet, by means of the law of affinities, they would become in contact with other types of people with the same Level of their Being. They would be in contact with another type of human who would bring new opportunities to them, and then help them to abandon that level of poverty and therefore live better.
Thus, the poor can stop being miserable by changing their Level of Being and thus entering into another - better - economical situation. This demands years of psychological work within our own selves. Thus, what we need is to educate those people who live in disgrace.
Q. Besides the economical necessities of those people, there also exist ignorance, thus, in order for them to acquire the Gnostic teachings, it is necessary that the one who will instruct them has a great deal of patience, right?
A. Yes, a great deal of patience is necessary, and indeed, I would like you to have such patience and to instruct those poor people, so that they can start working upon themselves psychologically and thus pass to a higher Level of Being.
Understand that the Level of Being of each one of us brings the type of life that we have, i.e. we find a cow in a stable, since its Level of Being brings that to her life as a cow; yet, if we take that cow and bring her to a luxurious apartment and we perfume her, and dress her with satin, even in that luxurious apartment that animal will continue to be a cow, because the Level of Being of every creature brings its own particular type of life. We can take a person of an inferior inhuman Level of Being, who lives in disgrace, and we dress this person as best we can and afterwards we take them to Buckingham Palace, so that they can live next to Queen Elizabeth, yet unquestionably, according to his or her Level of Being, this person will bring their own type of life into Buckingham Palace, and we can be absolutely sure that in very few days this person will be in conflict, having problems with the butlers, etc.
Therefore, the Level of Being of each person brings his or her own type of life. So, if we pass to another higher Level of Being, we will bring to our life different circumstances, new ways of life, and therefore we will have a most edifying and essentially dignifying life; this is obvious.
Q. Master, what part of the Being are we?
A. Are you asking me, what part of the Being are we? Well, this is a crucial question, because as we presently are, we are not any part of the Being, we are nothing but miserable robots, programmed for this or that type of job, according with what we have studied from kindergarten, in school, etc., which have developed a false personality and a false consciousness. Thus, the true Superlative Consciousness of our Being has been displaced, the wretched has been cornered there, within the depths, in oblivion.
Therefore, we are robots, machines, which are controlled by unknown forces, by the “I’s” - and our inner, profound Being, with all of its sublime parts, are beyond, very much beyond the unconscious machine, much, much beyond the miserable robot. What can a robot know about its Being? What can the sensual mind know about the diverse parts of the Being and its functionalisms? Nothing!
Therefore, let us begin to self-explore ourselves in order to evidence by ourselves the crude reality of what we are; thus, only like this, indeed, can we reach the most pure parts of the Being.

This makes no sense. I don't drink, I don't smoke, and yet I was born in the "pigsty". I'm still struggling to leave it, despite the gnostic teachings. I have to endure suffering and humiliation till I finish college, even being forced to do unethical things to survive. Why? Why?
Only your Being knows the answer, and you have to meditate to discover it.
In my case, I have found that the most painful and difficult circumstances in my life were also the beginnings of my understanding of compassion.

Hi Instructors, from different stories I know many people have changed their level of being to a certain degree without meditation or even the knowledge of Gnosticism but rather by will and by changing their habits.
I changed a lot of habits according to the teachings, and it has benefited me a lot, but it's not like people appear out of nowhere to help me, like Samael says it will happen. People are selfish and only care about themselves.
The instructors here are helping you and I and all of us although they are not obligated too. The fact you have the chance to ask about Gnosticism and get a response from experienced people on the path is good enough karma. I’m going through my own nonsense as well but I’ve realised the universe takes account of everything we do and don’t do so don’t lose face Vivek.
I really like the instructors and I never meant any disrespect towards them. Sometimes I speak harsh and evil words out of my own wickedness. But it's not the fault of the instructors. They are truly luminous and majestic! They really help us all for free.
@Vivek Your past life can also affect your present. Based on my understanding, we carry Karma from our past lives into the present and we continue to suffer for the bad things we did. So, maybe that's why you found yourself in the situation where you are right now.
So, forget about your current situation and focus on doing good and helping others so you'll have a better life in the future and in your next reincarnation.
Instructors please correct my post if I said anything wrong or incorrect. Thank you.

I agree. Thank you for your concern. I probably did bad things in past lives, even though I have no idea what those things could be

As you make progress on the path, one of the powers you'll gain is the ability to remember your past lives
