The Gnostic Esoteric Work
It is urgent to study Gnosis and to use the practical ideas in this work we give to work seriously on themselves.
However we could not work on themselves with the intention of dissolving this or that "I" without having previously observed it.
The self-observation allows a ray of light to penetrate within.
Any "I" is expressed in the head in a way, in the heart otherwise and sex otherwise.
We need to observe the "I" which at one given moment found trapped, urges see in each of these three centers of our body.
In relations with people if we are alert and vigilant as the watchman in wartime, we self-discover.
You remember. What time was when be wounded in his vanity?, your pride? What was to vex you most?, Why you had that disappointment ?, what is its secret cause? Study this, observe your head, heart and sex ...
Practical life is a marvelous school; in the interrelation we can discover those "I's" that we carry within ourselves.
Any annoyance, any incident can lead us through intimate self-observation, the discovery of an "I", either this be of self-love, envy, jealousy, anger, greed, suspicion, slander, lust, etc., etc., etc.
We need to know themselves before we can know others. It is urgent to learn to see the point of view of others.
If we put ourselves in the place of others, we discover that the psychological defects that we endorse to others, we have very much in our interior.
Love to neighbor is indispensable, but one could not love others without first learning to put yourself in the position of another person in the esoteric work.
Cruelty will continue to exist on the face of the earth, while we have not learned to put ourselves in the place of others.
But if one have not the courage to see oneself, how could stand in the place of others ?.
Why should we only see the bad part of other people?.
The mechanical antipathy towards another person that for the very first time we know indicates that we do not know ourselves in the place of others, that we do not love our neighbor, that we have the consciousness too asleep.
Do we fall very unfriendly certain person?, What reason ?, Maybe drink let observe ourselves ... Are we sure of our virtue ?, Are we sure not to carry within us the "I" of drunkenness? .
It would be better to say when is seen a drunken clowning around, "This is me, what clowning around I am doing.
Are you an honest and virtuous woman and for it you dislike certain lady; antipathy for her you feel. Why ?, Do you feel very confident ?, Do you think that within your interior does not have the "I" of lust ?, Do you think this lady discredited by her scandals and lust is perverse ?, are you sure there's no lasciviousness and perversity within you that you see in that woman?.
It would be better self-observe intimately and in deep meditation take the place of the woman to whom you hates.
It is urgent to value the Gnostic esoteric work, it is essential to understand and appreciate it if you really crave a radical change.
It is essential to know love our fellowmen to study Gnosis and bring this teaching to all people, otherwise we will fall into selfishness.
If one is devoted to the esoteric work on himself, but does not give teaching to others, his inner progress becomes very difficult for lack of love to our fellow men.
"But to him who gives receives and the more you give, the more you receive, but to him who gives nothing what he has will be taken away from him". That's the law.

PRAYER IN THE WORK
Observation, judgment and execution are the three basic factors of dissolution. First seen. Second: indict. Third executed.
To the spies in the war, they are first observed; second they are indict; third are shoot.
In the interrelationship exists self-discovery and self-revelation. Who renounces living together with their fellowmen, also renounces self-discovery.
Any incident in life, however insignificant it may seem, undoubtedly has as its cause in us an intimate actor, a psychic aggregate, an "I".
Self-discovery is possible when we are on alert perception, alert novelty.
"I" discovered in flagrante, must be carefully observed in our brain, heart and sex.
An I of lust could manifest itself in the heart as love and in the brain as an Ideal, but to pay attention to sex, may feel a certain morbid, unmistakable excitement.
The judgment of any I should be definitive. We need to sit it on the bench of the accused and judge it mercilessly.
Any Evasion, justification, and consideration must be eliminated if we truly want to become aware of the "I" we long to extirpate from our psyche.
Execution is different; it would not be possible to execute any "I", without having previously observed and judged.
Prayer in the psychological work is fundamental to the dissolution. We need a power superior to the mind, if we really want to disintegrate this or that "I".
The mind by itself can never disintegrate any "I" that is indisputable, irrefutable.
Prayer is talking to God. We must appeal to God- Mother in our intimacy, if we truly want to disintegrate "I's" who does not love his Mother, the ungrateful child, will fail to work on himself.
Each of us has his particular, individual Divine Mother, she in herself is a part of our own Being, but derivative.
All ancient peoples worshiped "God Mother" in the depths of our being. The feminine principle of the Eternal is ISIS, MARY, TONATZIN, CYBELE, RHEA, ADONIA, INSOBERTA, etc., etc., etc.
If we in the merely physical have father and mother, in the depths of our Being we also have our Father who is in secret and our Divine Mother KUNDALINI.
There are as many Fathers in Heaven as men on earth. Mother God in our own intimacy is the feminine aspect of our Father who is in secret.
HE and SHE are certainly the two superior parts of our inner being. Indubitably HE and SHE are our very Real Being beyond the "I" of psychology.
HE unfolds in HER and commands, directs, instructs. SHE eliminates the undesirable elements that we carry within, to condition to a continuous work on himself.
When we have died radically, when all the undesirable elements have been eliminated, after many conscious works and voluntary sufferings we will merge and integrate with the "FATHER-MOTHER" then we shall be terribly divine Gods, Beyond Good and Evil.
Our particular, individual, Divine Mother by her fiery powers can reduce to cosmic dust any of those many "I's" which has been previously observed and judged.
In no way a specific formula would be needed to pray to our inner Divine Mother. We must be very natural and simple when we address HER. The child who goes to his mother, never has special formulas, he says what comes out from the heart and that`s all
None "I" is dissolves instantly; Our Divine Mother must work before achieving an annihilation of any "I".
Direct your prayer within, seeking within your interior your Divine Lady and you can talk heartfelt pleas. Beg her to disintegrate that "I" that you have previously observed and judged.
The sense of intimate self-observation, as it develops, will allow you to verify the progressive advancement of your work.
Understanding, discernment, are essential, however you need something more if we really want to disintegrate the "plural ego."
The mind can afford to label defects, pass from one department to another, exhibit, hide, etc., but could never fundamentally alter the defect.
It needs a "special power" superior to the mind, of a flaming power capable of reducing any defect to ashes.
STELLA MARIS, our Divine Mother, has that power, can pulverize any psychological defect.
Our Divine Mother lives in our intimacy, beyond the body, affections and the mind. She is itself superior igneous power to the mind.
Our particular Cosmic Mother, individual, has Wisdom, Love and Power. In her there is absolute perfection.
Good intentions and the constant repetition of them, are useless, lead nowhere.
It would not serve to repeat: "I will not be lustful"; Selves of lasciviousness will continue to exist anyway in the very depths of our psyche.
It would be useless to repeat daily: "I will have no anger." The "egos" of anger will continue to exist within our psychological depths.
It would be useless to say daily: "I will not be more greedy." The "I`s" of greed would continue to exist in the different depths of our psyche.
It would be useless to turn away from the world and lock ourselves into a convent or live in a cavern; the "egos" continue to exist within us.
Some cave hermits through rigorous disciplines reached the ecstasy of saints and were taken to heaven, where they saw and heard things that humans were not allowed to comprehend; however the "egos" continue to existing inside.
Unquestionably the Essence can escape from the "I" through rigorous discipline and enjoy ecstasy, however, after that, it returns into the "Myself".
Who have become accustomed to ecstasy without having dissolved the "Ego", believe they already reached liberation deceive themselves and believing himself Masters and even enter to the involution submerged.
We never pass judgment against mystical ecstasy, against the ecstasy and happiness of the Soul in the absence of the EGO.
We just want to emphasize the necessity of dissolving "I's" to achieve the final liberation.
The Essence of any disciplined anchorite, accustomed to escape from the "I" repeats such a feat after the death of the physical body, enjoy for a while of ecstasy and then returns as the Genie of Aladdin's lamp inside the bottle, to the ego, to the Myself.
Then he has no choice to return to a new physical body, for the purpose of repeating his life on the carpet of existence.
Many mystics who died in the caverns of the Himalayas, Central Asia, are now common and ordinary people in this world, although their followers still adore and venerate them.
Any attempt at liberation however great this is it, if not take into account the need to dissolve the Ego, is doomed to failure.
