It is absurd to take Sensual Reasoning out of its orbit, because then one falls into materialistic skepticism. Why are many students of pseudo-esotericism and pseudo-occultism always fighting against doubts? Why are so many students going from school to school and finally reaching the old age without having attained anything?
Through experience I have observed that those who remain bottled up in the intellect fail. Those that want to verify the truth with the intellect fail, because they make the same mistake as wanting to study Astronomy with a microscope or wanting study bacteriology with the telescope.

We have to learn to differentiate between immediate physical necessities and psychological dependence. Psychological dependence generates the exploitation and slavery.
It is urgent understand the inner nature of the “myself” if in truth we want to become spiritually rich. He that is spiritually rich is unable to exploit others, is unable to lie. He that is spiritually rich is free from the obstacles relating to sensations and personal satisfaction. He that is spiritually rich has found happiness.

The Consciousness knows directly the reality of each natural phenomenon, and through the Inner Mind can manifest it. This means that only by opening the Inner Mind is authentic Faith born in the human being. Observing this aspect from another angle, we will say that materialistic skepticism is the peculiar characteristic of Ignorance. There is no doubt that the illustrious ignorant ones are skeptics, one hundred percent.
Unfortunately, there exists the tendency to confuse belief with faith. Even if it seems to be paradoxical, we will emphasize the following, "He that has true faith does not need to believe." Authentic faith is living wisdom, exact cognition, direct experience.

How to organize our psychology.
the Human Being. Where did we come from? Where are we going? What is the reason for our existence? What do we exist for? Why do we exist?
Behold, we have here a lot of questions that we must clarify and resolve. A child is born, and as a fact he receives a physical body in a gratuitous form, this is obvious. This physical body is marvelous. It has about 15,000 x a million neurons that are in the service of the child, and it cost him nothing.
The Sensual Mind
While the child is growing his Sensual Mind is being opened little by little. This sensual mind in itself and by itself gives the child information through external sensorial perceptions and it is precisely with the information granted through such perceptions that the sensual mind always elaborates the contents of it’s concepts; because of this, our present mind can never know anything about reality. It’s Reasoning processes are subjective, they move within a vicious circle, the circle of external sensorial perceptions, this is obvious.
Now you will comprehend by yourselves, maybe a little more clearly, what subjective reasoning is in itself, but a complete differentiation between subjective reasoning and objective reasoning must be done. It is obvious that the child has to go through all the educational processes; kindergarten, elementary, high school, and university. The subjective reasoning is nourished with all the data that these distinct scholastic institutions grant unto it. But truly no educational institute can give to a child, youth, or teenager existing data about that which is not of time, about that which is reality.
Truly, the speculations of subjective reasoning always arrive at Intellectualism, at the absurd field of utopism or, in the best cases, towards simple opinions of a subjective type, but never to the experience of the truth, never to experience that which is not from time.
On the other hand, objective reasoning, that disgracefully does not receive any instruction because there is no school that teaches it, remains abandoned.
Undoubtedly, objective reasoning processes obviously conduct us towards exact and perfect postulates. The child is always subjectively educated from place to place; for him no form of superior instruction exists.
All data, all scholastic matters, all family matters, etc. that the senses grant to the subjective mind of the teenager are merely empirical and subjective and this is pitiful.
Towards the beginning, the child has still not lost the capacity of astonishment. Obviously the child looks in wonder on any phenomena. A beautiful toy awakens in him this astonishment, and with this toy the child plays. This capacity of wonder disappears as the child grows, as his sensual mind receives data from school and collage. Finally the instant in which the child becomes a youth arrives and the young boy has already completely lost this capacity of astonishment.
Unfortunately the data that one receives in collages, schools and educational centers only serve to nourish the sensual mind, and nothing else. In this way, actually with these educational systems, from schools, academies, and universities the only thing that we can really achieve there is to make for ourselves an artificial Personality. To give an account of this, in reality, truly, the knowledge that is studied in Humanities will never serve to form the Psychological Human Being. In the name of truth we have to say clearly that the topics that are actually studied in educational institutes don’t have any real relationship with the distinct parts of our Being. Therefore, these topics serve only to:

First: Falsify the knowledge of the five cylinders of the organic machine.
(the five cylinders are the following, the first brain which in itself is composed of sensuality, motor reflex and natural instinct, the second brain being the emotional aspect and the third being the intelectual, these are three not five because the first one is three in one. above these you have the superior emotional brain and superior intelectual brain, the superior emotional and intelectual are the ones we use when we aspire to higher ideals such as wisdom or for example listening to classical or inspiring music)
Second: To take the capacity of astonishment away from us.
Third: To develop the sensual mind.
Fourth: To form a false personality within us.
Therefore, it should be clearly understood that the sensual mind cannot produce any radical transformation in any way within ourselves. It is very convenient to understand that the sensual mind can never take us from the autonomism and mechanicity, in which we find the people of all the world, even if they appear to be people of a very cultured mind.
Its one thing to be an animalistic human being, an Intellectual Animal, certainly it is quite another thing to be a true Psychological Man. Naturally, when I use the Word “Man” I also mean Woman. But this must be clearly understood.
The Psychological Man and Woman
We were born with a marvelous physical body, but really we truly need to make something more. To form a physical body is not difficult, because we inherit it, but to form is a Psychological Man is very difficult. We do not need to work upon ourselves in order to form a physical body, but it’s very obvious that we need to work upon ourselves in order to form a Psychological Man.
As a Matter of fact, in order to create a Psychological Man, who is a true Man in the most complete sense of the word, we need to organize the psyche which is disorganized.
The Master Gurdjieff said that the organic machine doesn’t have a Psychology. I have to strongly disagree with him on this matter. A psychology really exists within any organic machine that we mistakenly call Man. The fact is, that this machine is very disorganized, and this is different. If it is true that we want to create the true Man, who is the Psychological Man, then it is urgent, unpostponable, and undeferable that we organize this psychology within the intellectual animal.
Let us then see the difference between the intellectual animal, mistakenly called Man, and the true and authentic Psychological Man. If we want to create such a Man within, then we need to work upon ourselves. Nonetheless, there is a struggle within us because the sensual mind is the clear enemy of the superior mind.
The sensual mind is identified with any circumstance, for example, if suddenly we find ourselves at a sumptuous banquet and we identify ourselves a great deal with the food we will convert ourselves into gluttons or if we get identified with the wine, we end up drunk. If we see a person of the opposite sex in front of us who is fascinating and interesting, we will become very identified with that person and end up fornicating or simply, we are changed into adulterers. To create the Psychological Man in these circumstances, in this way, is not possible.
If in some way we have to start the work of creating the Psychological Man, this will come from real, true work on ourselves, without ever getting identified with any circumstance, while observing ourselves from instant to instant, from moment to moment. There are some people who are mistaken about the path.
There are societies, schools, orders, lodges, religions, sects, which pretend to organize the human psyche by means of certain golden maxims. Communities that pretend to achieve something that they call purifications or Sanctity by means of such maxims. It is urgent that we analyze all of this.
It is obvious that any type of ethical or religious maxim can never serve as a pattern for the distinct events of life.
For example, a maxim that is structured with superior logic, like the logic of Ouspensky, will never truly create a new cosmos, neither a new nature. To strictly subordinate ourselves to a maxim with the purpose of organizing our psyche would be absurd. Obviously this is significant of converting ourselves into slaves.
Therefore, it is convenient that we should reflect upon many ethical catalogs and moral codes that are held as Golden Maxims.
Moreover, there is a lot that needs to be analyzed before entering oneself in the work of the organization of the psyche. For example, a demonstrative annunciation, even if very wise and perfect, could still be unquestionably false, or even worse, intentionally false.
Accordingly, in order to anticipate a transformation within ourselves, we have to become a little more individualistic. I am not saying to become selfish, this must be understood. We must learn to think better, in a more independent and perfect way, other than through many sacred sayings, through many Golden Maxims, and as already mentioned, through aphorisms that all the world considers perfect. These Maxims will never serve as patterns of measurement in order to achieve the authentic transformation and in order to achieve the organization of the psyche within ourselves.

The fact of the matter is to organize the interior psyche, and we have to leave all the subjective rationalism in order to get to the root of the matter. To confront our own errors as they are without justifying them does not mean that we must flee from them. Do not intend to excuse them. There is a need to become more serious in the analysis. We must be more judicious, more comprehensive.
If we truly do not search for evasiveness, then we can work on ourselves in order to achieve the organization of the Psychological Man and stop being intellectual animals, as we are at this very moment.
Psychological Self-observation is basic. Truly, to observe ourselves from instant to instant, from second to second is necessary. What is the purpose of self-observation? The discovering of our different types of psychological Defects. But, they must be discovered in the field of action, by directly and judiciously observing them, without evasion, without justification, without any type of escape.
Once a defect has been discovered, then and only then, we can comprehend it, and when we attempt to comprehend it we must, I repeat, be severe with ourselves. Many, when they attempt to comprehend an error they justify it or evade it, or try to hide it from themselves. This is absurd. There are some little Gnostic brothers and sisters who, when discovering this or that defect in themselves they begin with their mind, as we will say, their theoretical mind, to start to make up speculations. This is very grave because as I already said and I repeat again in this moment, speculations of the merely subjective mind forcibly dump themselves into the field of Utopianism, this is obvious.
Therefore if an error is what we want to understand, then mere subjective speculations must be eliminated and in order for them to be eliminated, to have been directly observing the error is necessary. Only like this through the means of correct Observation it is possible to correct the tendency towards speculation.
Once we have integrally comprehended any psychological defect in all of the levels of the mind, then one can have the luxury of breaking and disintegrating it, reducing it to ashes, to cosmic dust. Nevertheless we must not ever forget that the mind by itself cannot radically alter any defect at all.
The mind by itself can label any defect with different names, pass defects from one level to the other, to hide them from itself or to hide them from other defects but never can it disintegrate a defect.
Many times I have taught here that we need a power superior to the mind, a power that can truly reduce to ashes any defect of a psychological type.
Fortunately this power exists in the depth of our psyche. I’m clearly referring to Stella Maris, the Virgin of the Sea, a variation of our own Being. She is a derivative of our Being. If we concentrate ourselves on this variant force that exists within our psyche, that force that some civilizations denominated as Isis, others Tonantzin, others Diana etc., then we will be assisted and the defect in question can be reduced to cosmic dust.
Any psychological Aggregate, vivid personification of this or that error, once it has been disintegrated something is liberated, this is what is called Essence. It is clear that within any of those bottles which are known as psychic aggregates, some Essence or animated Consciousness exists, bottled up. So when breaking this or that error the percentage of Essence which has been placed or embottled there is liberated.
Each time a percentage of Buddhic Essence is liberated the percentage of Consciousness increases as a fact. Likewise while we are breaking these psychic aggregates the percentage of awakened Consciousness will multiply, and when the totality of the psychic aggregates is reduced to ashes likewise the Consciousness will awaken in its totality.
If we just break fifty percent of the inhuman undesirable elements then obviously we will possess fifty percent of objective awakened Consciousness, But if we attain the destruction of a hundred percent of our undesirable elements we will attain as a fact and for our own right, one hundred percent Objective Consciousness. Thus, based on incessant multiplications our Consciousness will shine each time more and more, this is obvious.
To attain absolute awakening is what we want, and this is possible if we march on the correct path. If we do the contrary then to attain this will be impossible. This is clear.
In any case in the same way that we are diminishing the undesirable psychic elements that we carry in our interior, distinct siddhis or luminous faculties will bloom within our Psyche and when the Buddhist Annihilation has been achieved, truly then we will achieve the most absolute Enlightment. This word “Buddhist Annihilation” bothers very much other determined organizations of a pseudo-Esoteric, pseudo-Occult type. For us instead of this word sickening us, it really pleases us because to attain one hundred percent Consciousness is what we long for.
There are many that would like to achieve enlightment, there are many that feel themselves bitter, who suffer within darkness, who suffer through the bitter circumstances of life.
Enlightment is something that we long for, but enlightment has to have a reason to be; the reason for illumination to be is the Dharmadatu. This word of Sanskrit origin sounds very strange to the ears of the people present here. Dharmadatu comes from the root word “Dharma.”

The Three Factors
Someone can disintegrate the undesirable psychic elements that we carry in our interior, but nevertheless this one can not achieve the radical illumination because something enters into the game here and this is called the Third Factor for the Revolution of the Consciousness: the sacrifice for humanity.
If we do not sacrifice ourselves for humanity, to attain absolute illumination will not be possible, because I repeat, the reason for illumination is the Dharmadatu.
It is obvious that if we disintegrate the Ego we will receive our payment. It is true, really true, that if we create the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being we will be paid. We cannot deny that if we sacrifice ourselves for our fellow men we will be paid. All of this is undoubtable.
Therefore in order to achieve absolute illumination we need to work with the three factors for the revolution of the Consciousness:
TO BE BORN; meaning the creation of the existential superior vehicles of the Being;
TO DIE; meaning the disintegration of the ego in its whole totality;
and the SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY.
Behold the three factors for the revolution of the Consciousness.
Anyway as I was telling you we need to know how to work upon ourselves. We need to organize the Psychological Man within each one of us. First of all before we achieve The Absolute illumination the Psychological Man must be born in us and he is born in us when the psyche is organized. There is a need to organize the psyche within ourselves here and now.

Energy & The Creation of the Higher Bodies
If we work correctly we will organize the psyche. For example, if we do not waste the energies of the emotional center, if we do not waste the energies of the mind, or the energies of the motor/instinctive/sexual brain, then it is obvious that we will create or we will build, give form to the second psychological body with the savings of such energies in ourselves: this is the body of emotions, denominated Eidolon.
Undoubtedly, if we liberate ourselves from the sensual mind then in reality we will achieve the savings of the intellectual energies. With such energies we can nourish the third psychological body or individual mind. When I pronounced myself against the sensual mind, I want the brothers and sisters to clearly understand that I am not putting aside my recognition of the usefulness of the sensual mind and that we need to live in perfect Equilibrium whilst knowing how to drive the superior mind and knowing how to drive the sensual mind.
Because if one does not know how to drive the sensual mind then one forgets that there is a need to pay the rent, one forgets that their exists a need to eat in order to exist, one forgets their is a need to get dressed and not wander on the streets completely negligent, not accomplishing his duties in life. Therefore the sensual mind is necessary, but there is a need to know how to intelligently drive it with equilibrium, meaning: the superior mind and the sensual mind must be equilibrated in life.
Some people only preoccupy themselves with the sensual mind. For example, certain hermits that live in the caverns of the Himalayas forget that they have a sensual mind. To simply disregard this mind just like that is absurd. There is a need for the sensual mind to function in a equilibrated form in order for one to accomplish his duties of life.

Identification
The struggle between the superior mind and the sensual mind is frightful. Let us remember the Christ when he was fasting in the wilderness. A Demon was presented in front of him and told him “All of the kingdoms of the world will be granted unto thee, if thou kneel and worship before me.” In other words it is the sensual mind tempting him, and the superior mind answers him saying, “Satan, Satan, it is written you must obey and worship the Lord your God.”
Jesus never let the sensual mind dominate him, but the meaning of this is not that the sensual mind is useless, It happens that there is a need to have it under control. It must march in perfect equilibrium with the superior mind.
When striving for the organization of the Psychological Man obviously a frightful struggle will happen between the two minds, between the superior, which is the psychological one and the sensual one. The sensual mind does not want to be involved in anything related with the superior mind. The sensual mind enjoys when it is identified with a scene of lust or when it is identified with a painful event of the street or when it is identified with a glass of wine, etc. and the psychological mind is violently against it.

Thanks, but no thanks... Anyone who would equate "diana" with "this power existing in the depth of our psyche" flips my "discernment switch" immediately to the warning position ... I appreciate your attemps at raising the cosmic conscious bar, but I for One, cannot make that leap with you. Give me a break,"diana" is the goddess of witch's. Witchcraft is an abomination, as is sorcery.. These practices negate the Origin of the Power, that which, is of GOD....... They lead one to believe that they are the illuminated, and Glorify not the Creator, but the self. It is a very tricky thing, trying to find and stay on the correct path, the road is long, and narrow is the Gate  ......... |

the laws of the universe can not be fooled.
we can call things names but our actions define who we are.
regardless of what a person believes in, it' the "actions" that define who we are.
I don't study "witches", and those are not my writings they are gnostic literature.
what the author is talking about is "psychology", the names he mentioned of the feminine aspect of the universe was a synthesis of what the acient civilizations called that aspect.
the so called "witches" of today are simply a degenerated manifestation of a society plunged into darkness by the subjective "thought", the "ego" "sensual desire unrestrained".
god is the absolute, unfathomable, unreachable by the mortal flesh.
the feminine aspect of god manifests itself as the mother, the force of "creation", she lives in our being and is the power that makes it possible for us to transmute the organic principle into a higher vibrational eenrgy.
Call her what you like "she lives in you" .
and the perfect creation of those two principles is the son of man.
The son is the true self, we are shadows of that self.
christ was not a shadow, he is 100% united with his true self and created us and our world.
the soul is perfect, when we unite 100% with our soul we will be 100% enlightened, all knowing and all seeing.
this has nothin to do with witches, if it did I would have said so, but perhaps in your hurry to judgement (it happens to eveyone myself included) we permit our subjective analysis make an opinion that is emotionally based.
the real batlle is "inside", christ's teachings are about the inside "the world inside" the world outside is a dream, a fantasy,
that's why they call it the mortal world because it's not eternal, the inside is eternal, the "soul".
