LEVEL OF BEING
Who are we?, Where do we come ?, To where are we going ?, do we live ?, Why do we live? ...
Unquestionably the poor "Intellectual Animal" wrongly called man, not only does not knows, but also does not even know he does not know...
Worst of all is the so difficult and strange situation we find ourselves, we ignore the secret of all our tragedies and yet we are convinced that we know everything...
Get one "Rational Mammal" a person of those that boast of influential, to the center of the Sahara Desert, leave him there away from any Oasis and observe from an aircraft everything that happens...
The facts speak for themselves; the "Intellectual Humanoid" although presumed strong and believe to be very man is in the bottom is frightfully weak..
The "Rational Animal"; He thinks of himself the best; He believes he can cope wonderfully by KINDERGARTEN urbanity Manuals, , Elementary, Middle, High School, University, good prestige of dad, etc., etc., etc.
Unfortunately, after many letters and good manners, titles and money, we know that any stomachache saddens us and that deep down we continue being unhappy and miserable..
Just read world history to know that we are the same barbarians of yesteryear and instead of improving we have become worse...
This twentieth first century with all its showmanship, wars, prostitution, world sodomy, sexual degeneration, drugs, alcohol, exorbitant cruelty, extreme perversity, monstrosity, etc., etc., etc., is the mirror in which we look; because there is no compelling reason to boast of having reached a higher stage of development...
Think that time means progress is absurd, unfortunately the "ignoramuses" continue bottlings in the "Dogma of Evolution ..."
In all the black pages of "dark history" we find the same atrocious cruelties, ambitions, wars, etc.
However our contemporaries "super-civilized" are still convinced that the war is secondary, a passenger accident that has nothing to do with his vaunted "Modern Civilization"
Surely what matters is the way of being of each person; Some subjects will be drunkards, other abstainers, those honored and these other scoundrels; of everything in life there is...
The mass is the sum of individuals; what the individual is the mass, is the Government, etc.
The mass is therefore the extension of the individual; it is not possible transformation of the masses, of the people, if the individual, if each person, not transformed...
Nobody can deny that there are different social levels; there are people of church and of brothel; of trade and of farm, etc., etc., etc.
So there are different levels of being. What we are internally, lavish or stingy, generous or miserly, violent or peaceful chaste or lustful, attracts the various circumstances of life ...
A lusty always attract scenes, dramas and even lascivious tragedies in which he will become involved...
A drunk attract drunkards and will always see in bars and cantinas, that's obvious...
What will attract the usurer, selfish? How many problems, prisons, misfortunes?
However the embittered people, tired of suffering, want to change, turn the page of their history...
¡ Poor people! They want to change and do not know how; they do not know the procedure; They are stuck in a dead end...
What happened to them yesterday happens to them today and tomorrow happen to them; always repeat same mistakes and not learn the lessons of life.
All things are repeated in their own lives; They say the same things, do the same things and complain about the same things...
This boring repetition of dramas, comedies and tragedies, will continue long as we carry within us the undesirable elements of Wrath, Greed, Lust, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, etc., etc., etc.
What is our moral level?, Or better said: What is our Level of Being?
While the level of Being does not radically change will continue the repetition of all our miseries, scenes, misfortunes and sorrows...
All things, all circumstances that occur outside ourselves, on the stage of this world, are exclusively the reflection of what we carry.
With good reason we can solemnly declare that the "exterior is the reflection of the interior."
When one changes internally and that change is radical, the exterior, circumstances, life, change as well.
So, if we really want a radical change, we must first understand is that each of us (either white or black, yellow or coppery, ignorant or enlightened, etc.), is in this or that "Level of Being".
What is our Level of Being? Have you ever thought about it? It would not be possible to move to another level if we ignore the state in which we find ourselves.

THE MARVELOUS LADDER
We have to yearn for a real change, leave this boring routine, this purely mechanistic life, winded...
What we must first understand quite clearly is that each of us either bourgeois or proletarian, wealthy or middle, rich or miserable class, it is really in this or that level of Being ...
Level of Being of the drunkard is different from the abstinent and very different from the prostitute from the maiden. What we are saying is irrefutable, indisputable...
In reaching this part of our chapter, we lose nothing to imagine a ladder extending from the bottom up, vertically and with many steps...
Unquestionably , at some stage of these we find ourselves; steps down there will be people worse than us; steps up better than us people will find ...
In this extraordinary Vertical, on this wonderful staircase, it is clear that we can find all Levels of Being ... each person is different and that no one can refute. .. ..
Undoubtedly we are not now talking about ugly or pretty faces, nor is matter of age. There are young people and old, elders who are about to die and newborn...
The matter of time and years. That of born, grow, develop, marry, reproduce, grow old and die, it is exclusive to the Horizontal...
On the "Wonderful Stairway" in the Vertical the concept of time does not fit. ... On the steps of this scale we can only find "Levels of Being" ...
The mechanical hope of people serves no purpose; they believe that eventually things will be better with the time so they thought our grandparents and great - grandparents; precisely the facts have come to prove otherwise...
"Level of Being" is what counts and this is Vertical; we are in a step but we can climb another step. .. ..
The "Wonderful Staircase" that are talking and refers to different "levels of being" certainly has nothing to do with linear time...
A "Level of Being" is highest immediately above us from moment to moment...
There is no in a horizontal remote future, but here and now; within ourselves; in the Vertical ...
It is ostensible and anyone can understand that the two -Horizontal and vertical lines are from moment to moment in our psychological interior and form Cross...
The personality develops and unfolds on the Horizontal Line of Life. Born and dies within its linear time; there is no tomorrow for the personality of the deceased... It is not the Being...
The Levels of Being; Being itself is not of the time, has nothing to do with the Horizontal Line; It is within ourselves Now...
It would be manifestly absurd to look for our own Being outside themselves...
Not more sit as a corollary the following: Titles, degrees, promotions, etc., in the physical external world, in no way originate authentic exaltation, revaluation of Being, step to a higher step in the "Levels of Being".. .
III
PSYCHOLOGICAL REBELLION
It is worth reminding our readers that a mathematical point exists within ourselves...
Unquestionably such a point, never is found in the past, nor in the future...
Whoever wants to discover that mysterious point must look for here and now, within himself, exactly at this moment, not a second onward nor, a second later...
Vertical and Horizontal two sticks of Holy Cross, are, at this point...
We are therefore from moment to moment before two paths: the Horizontal and Vertical...
It is clear that the Horizontal is very "corny" by him walk all the people and everyone"...
Clearly the Vertical is different; is the way of intelligent rebels, of the Revolutionaries...
When one remembers himself, when works on himself, when he is not identified with all the problems and sorrows of life, in fact is on the Vertical Path .. .
Certainly never an easy task is to eliminate negative emotions; lose all identification with our own way of life; problems of all kinds, business, debt, payment of letters, mortgages, telephone, water, electricity, etc., etc., etc.
The unemployed, those who for this or that reason have lost their jobs, work, evidently suffering from lack of money and forget their case, not to worry or identify with their own problem, it is in fact frightfully difficult.
Those who suffer, who cry, those who have been victims of some betrayal, bad payment in life, ingratitude, of slander or any fraud, really forget themselves, their real Intimate Being, are identified fully with their moral tragedy ...
The work on oneself is the fundamental characteristic of the Vertical path. No one could tread the path of the Great Rebellion, if never would work on himself...
The work to which we are referring is of a psychological type; It deals with a certain transformation of the present on which we are. We need to learn to live from moment to moment ...
For example, a person who is desperate for some sentimental, economic or political problems has obviously forgotten herself ...
If that person stops for a moment, if looks at the situation and tries to remind himself and then tries to understand the meaning of his attitude ...
If reflect a little, if think that everything goes away; that life is illusory, fleeting and that death reduces to ashes all the vanities of the world ...
If understand that his problem is at bottom nothing more than a "flash in the pan," a wildfire that soon goes out, suddenly see with surprise that everything has changed ...
It is possible to transform mechanical reactions through logical confrontation and the Self - Reflection of the Being...
It is evident that people react mechanically to the various circumstances of life ...
Poor people !, usually always become victims. When someone flatters them they smile; when they are humiliated, they suffer. If they insult insults; They hurt if they are hurt; They are never free; their peers have power to bring them from joy to sadness, from hope to despair.
Each person of those who walk the horizontal path, looks like a musical instrument, where each of his fellows play what he pleases...
Who learns to transform mechanical relationships, in fact he gets the "Vertical Road".
This represents a fundamental change in the "Level of Being" extraordinary result of the "Psychological Rebellion.
