Feeling happy for the success of others?

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.
