Gnostic Technotronics: Video and Television to Serve Humanity

From 1977

Goals

Emphatically and without any delay, we must utilize and fill the television channels to achieve widespread availability in urban and suburban areas.

Television is a very useful medium for the dissemination of gnosis. Gnostic television programs must offer various educational, cultural and spiritual alternatives, and adapt to audiences interested in integrating into the general development of the human being.

Among our main objectives we can point out the following in an enunciative and non-limiting manner.

1. Expand and reinforce the information presented in all the books I have written.
2. Attract audiences that were not accustomed to turning to television as an instrument of education, and psychological, anthropological, philosophical, mystical, and psychotronic training.
3. Raise the quality of television production around the world, through experimentation with new content, approaches, and formats.

Every individual who directs others is, whether they like it or not, an instructor. All the instructors or missionaries of gnosis are confronted daily with the need to learn and train the human elements in their charge to change, to transmit the way to face the amazing, changing life in which we live, to increase spirituality, and to indicate the best way to guide humanity.

Each Gnostic is and must be a key guide in the future of our ranks. Preparing and training the individual is the daily and fundamental task of each Gnostic brother or sister, their instructors, and their management. 

The task of Gnostic institutions is to facilitate and maximize the results we pursue.

Each Lumisial must prepare to obtain the most appropriate film material for training and teaching needs.

We are already using films as support elements in the dissemination and teaching processes. This material is invaluable to maintain the attention of the audience and emphasize the most important points of knowledge, thus transmitting the message in an easy and enjoyable way.

In the coming years, from Mexico we are launching educational toys, prints, soundtracks, and books, such as:

• The Revolution of the Dialectic
• The Pistis Sophia
• Gnostic Anthropology
• For the Few 
• and more

We already have a total of twelve videocassettes where I deliver the Gnostic message that has been broadcast on television in the United States, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama.

The fundamental goal of Gnostic institutions is to serve humanity. That is why we want to promote the teachings in a massive way. This is the current problem. By using the most advanced technologies for the preparation of teaching programs, we will significantly extend the Gnostic possibilities of training at any level, especially in this era in which we find ourselves, in the times of the end of the world. It is necessary to accelerate teaching, and increase the capacity of the entire Gnostic student body to work in the Great Work.

Why Are Audiovisual Systems Necessary?

The use of audiovisual systems in the Gnostic, modern and educational field is very common today, however many instructors, instructors and directors wonder why, when, and how.

Why?

In our modern world there is so much information, and it moves very fast. We cannot learn much at high speed. It has been found that the use of audiovisual media is the most effective way to learn, for points that we will mention later.

When?

Due to the increase in the population, both Gnostic and in general, and the need to bring the message to large masses, the use of the audiovisual system is necessary and indispensable, to reproduce as many times as necessary all the teachings that I have delivered to humanity.

How?

Through the systems that we are explaining and enunciating as the purpose of the White Lodge. Audiovisual systems are a more efficient use of time, and stimulate the eyes and the ears, which are the most receptive senses for assimilating the message. With these systems we will deal a decisive blow to the cult of personality.

Why Are Gnostic Audiovisual Presentations Necessary?

1. Generally, we retain only 10% of what we hear. However, when we see and hear together, we retain 50%. The audiovisual systems that will be used in our institutions will allow us to do this.
2. Today, we are accustomed to learning visually. The generations of these decadent times have grown up with the influence of television, cinemas, books, projectors, road signs, in short all types of visual stimulation that leads to fascination. Therefore, gnostic visual presentations enhance our conferences and hold the attention of our audiences, whether two people or thousands.
3. The percentages undoubtedly confirm what we are expressing. With talks and conferences we can motivate an audience, but approximately ninety percent of what we say is forgotten or misinterpreted by the ego. However, through audiovisual presentations, it increases from 10% to 50%.
4. Through audiovisual systems, gnostics will be able to organize their lectures in a more objective and realistic way, and in a format that will clearly lead us towards concrete solutions and more realistic presentations,
5. With the help of gnostic experts in technology and television, in the coming years we will offer gnosis to the public through television. The great advantage of television is that we can transmit our productions on command, since these will be paid for by subscribers.
6. A very important aspect is that subscribers can participate in our broadcasts through an interactive connection; that is, they can participate by giving their opinion on the programs they want. Even the audience will sometimes contribute with films, videotapes, or slides.

Television has transformed our entire culture. Gnostic video art has the same potential capacity.

Gnostic video art has the possibility of providing universal access to the teachings, as well as breaking through mental obstacles that prevent spiritual development.

Through media we gnostics will produce cultural events, not just words and words.

With our television productions, we will forever destroy the cult of personality, because on the screen what should be seen is not the person, but the message.

We gnostics urgently need to study the laws of the press and communication in all countries of the world.

It is indispensable, urgent and necessary for gnostic men and women to dedicate themselves to further developing their positive imagination, in order to have many creatives boldly carrying the message through all the media.

It is essential, urgent, and cannot be postponed that all gnostic brothers and sisters collaborate in the search for themes and programs for television that agree with and affirm our gnostic postulates.

We will establish cultural agreements with different countries to create programs that are consistent with our teachings.

With the film that we will make on November 3, 1977, we will begin the era of anthropological gnostic film productions, and we will form organizations such as Atropovision, in which historical-retrospective visions will be presented, in which we will show scenes of the majesty and beauty of nature of the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt, as well as various aspects of the archaeological monuments of Tula, Monte Albán, Mitla, Palenque, Chichen-Itza, Tulum, Tajin, Uxmal and Bonampak.

It is necessary, urgent, and cannot be postponed that magazines, newspapers and all types of Gnostic publications be perfected. The time has come for us to destroy the “dream factories” of the false press, and to build a powerful “fact factory” through our written messages.

I have given countless conferences with the message of the New Age, which are recorded on audio cassettes. With them, radio programs must be organized, so that they carry the message to all human hearts, and then no one can say, “I didn’t know.” No one can have the excuse that “I did not know the key to salvation,” because it has been delivered through all the media through the powerful and transcendental science that we gnostics will handle with wisdom, which is technotronics.

Gnostic technotronics will be like a biblical David who will face the intolerable Goliath—the perverted media—and win the battle.
