THE GOOD HOUSE HOLDER
Straying one of the disastrous effects of life in these times, is certainly very difficult but indispensable, otherwise it is devoured by life.
Any work you do on himself with the purpose of achieving a mental and spiritual development is always related to the isolation well understood, because under the influence of life as always we live, it is not possible to develop anything but personality.
In no way try to oppose the development of personality, obviously this is necessary in existence, most certainly is something merely artificial, is not the true, the real in us.
If the poor intellectual mammal mistakenly called man is not isolated, but identifies with all the occurrences of practical life and squandered his strength in negative emotions and personal self-considerations and in vain insubstantial wordiness of ambiguous chatter, unedifying, no real element can be developed in him, out of what belongs to the world of mechanicalness.
Certainly anyone who wants to really achieve self - development of the Essence, must become hermetically sealed. This refers to something intimate closely related to silence.
The phrase comes from ancient times, when secretly taught a Doctrine on the internal development of man linked with the name of Hermes.
If one wants something real to grow in its interiority, it is clear to avoid the escape of his psychic energies.
When you have energy leaks and is not isolated in their intimacy, it is unquestionable that may not achieve the development of something real in his psyche.
The common Ordinary life wants to devour us mercilessly; we must fight daily we must learn to swim against the current...
This work is something different from that of very every day and yet we must practice from moment to moment; I refer to the Revolution of Consciousness.
Clearly, if our attitude towards daily life is fundamentally wrong; if we believe that everything checked out fine, so that if, come the disappointments..
People want things to go them well, "because if" because everything should go according to his plans, plus the stark reality is different, as one does not change internally, whether you like it or not like it will always be a victim of the circumstances.
It is said and written about the life, many sentimental nonsense, but this Treaty Revolutionary Psychology is different.
This doctrine goes to the point, to concrete, clear and definitive facts; emphatically he states that the "Intellectual Animal" wrongly called man, is a bipedal mechanical, unconscious, asleep.
"The Good Householder" would never accept the Revolutionary Psychology; It fulfills all his duties as father, husband, etc., and therefore thinks of himself the best, but only serves the purposes of nature and that's all.
By opposition we say that there is also "The Good Householder" who swims against the current, whose does not wanted to be devoured by life; however, these subjects are few in the world, never abound.
When one thinks according to the ideas of the "Treaty of Revolutionary Psychology" he obtains a correct view of life.

THE TWO WORLDS
Observe and observe oneself are two completely different things, but both require attention.
In the observation the attention is directed outward, toward the outside world, through the windows of the senses.
In self-observation of oneself, attention is directed inward and for this the senses of external perception does not serve reason more than enough to make it difficult for the neophyte observing their intimate psychological processes.
The point of departure of official science in its practical side, it is observable. The starting point of the work on itself, is self-observation, self-observable.
Unquestionably these two lines starting points mentioned above lead us to completely different directions.
Could someone aged between enfolded between the compromising dogmas of official science, studying external phenomena, observing cells, atoms, molecules, suns, stars, comets, etc., without experiencing within himself any radical change.
The kind of knowledge that transforms someone internally, never could be achieved through external observation.
True knowledge that can really originate in us a fundamental inner change has as it basis the direct self-observation of itself.
It is urgent to tell to our Gnostic students to observe themselves and in what sense must observe himself and the reasons for it.
Observation is a means to modify the mechanical conditions of the world. Interior self-observation is a means to intimately change.
As a consequence or corollary of all this, we can and must emphatically affirm that there are two kinds of knowledge, external and internal, and unless we have in themselves the magnetic center that can differentiate the qualities of knowledge, this mixture of the two planes or orders of ideas could lead to confusion.
Sublimes pseudo-esoteric doctrines with marked scientism background, belong to the realm of the observable, yet they are accepted by many aspirants as internal knowledge.
We are therefore faced with two worlds, the exterior and interior. The first of these is perceived by the senses of external perception; the second can only be perceptible by the sense of internal self-observation.
Thoughts, ideas, emotions, desires, hopes, disappointments, etc., are interior, invisible to common, ordinary senses and yet they are more real to us than the dining table or chairs in the room.
Certainly we live more in our inner world than outside; this is irrefutable, indisputable.
In our internal worlds, in our secret world, we love, desire, suspect, bless, we curse, yearn, suffer, enjoy, we are disappointed, awards, etc., etc., etc.
Unquestionably, both internal and external worlds are experimentally verifiable. The outside world is the observable. The inner world is the self-observable in itself and within itself, here and now.
Who really wants to know the "Inner Worlds" of planet Earth or the solar system or the galaxy in which we live, you must previously know his intimate world, his inner life, especially their own "Inner Worlds". "Man, know thyself and know the universe and the Gods."
The more you explore this "inner world" called "Self", the more will understand that lives simultaneously in two worlds, two realities, in two areas, exterior and interior.
In the same way that one is indispensable to learn to walk in the "outside world", not to fall off in a cliff, not to get lost in the streets of the city, choose your friends, not to associate with evil, do not eat poison, etc. and also through the psychological work on oneself, we learn to walk in the "inner world" which is explore through self-observation.
Really the sense of self-observation itself is atrophied in the decadent human race of this age in which we live.
As we persevere in self-observation of themselves, the sense of intimate self-observation it will develop progressively.
XXI
OBSERVATION OF ONESELF
Intimate Self-Observation of oneself is a practical means to achieve a radical transformation.
Know and observe are different. Many confuse the observation of oneself with knowing. It is known that we are sitting in a chair in a room, the more it does not mean that we are observing the chair.
We know that at a given moment we are in a negative state, perhaps with some problem or worried about this or that issue or in a state of anxiety or uncertainty, etc., but this does not mean that we're observing it.
Do you feel dislike for someone? Do you dislike a certain person?, Why? . You say that you know that person ... Please! Watch it, know it is never observe; do not confuse knowing with observing...
The observation that's one hundred percent active, is a means of self-change, while knowing, which is passive, it is not.
Certainly knowing is not an act of attention. The attention directed into oneself, towards what is happening inside us, if it's something positive, active...
In the case of a person to whom you have antipathy because if, so because yes and often for no reason, because we like it and many times with any reason one notice the multitude of thoughts that accumulate in mind, the group of voices that speak and scream disorderly inside oneself, what they are saying, unpleasant emotions that arise within us, the unpleasant taste that all this leaves in our psyche, etc., etc., etc.
Obviously in such a state we also realize that we are trying very bad inside to the person to whom we dislike.
But to see all this unquestionably needed attention intentionally directed inward self; not a passive attention.
The dynamic attention really comes from the observing side, while thoughts and emotions belong to the observed side.
All this makes us understand that knowing is something completely passive and mechanical, in evident contrast with the observation of oneself that's a conscious act.
We do not want to say with this that there is no mechanical observation of oneself, more such kind of observation has nothing to do with the psychological self-observation to which we are referring.
To think and to observe are also very different. Any subject can afford to think about himself all he want, but this does not mean that he is really observing.
We need to see the different "I’s" in action, discover them in our psyche, understanding that exists within each of them a percentage of our own conscience, repenting of having created them, etc.
Then we exclaim. "But what it is this I doing?" "What is he saying?" "What it wants?" "Why he does torment me with its lust?" "With its anger?" Etc., etc., etc.
Then we will see within themselves, that whole train of thoughts, emotions, desires, passions, private comedies, personal dramas, elaborate lies, speeches, excuses, morbidities, beds of pleasure, scenes of lasciviousness, etc., etc., etc.
Many times before we sleep at the precise moment of transition between wakefulness and sleep we feel within our own mind different voices that talk to each other, are the different Selves that must break at such times all connection with the different centers of our organic machine in order to submerge into the molecular world, in lower "Fifth Dimension".
XXII
THE CHATTER
It is urgent, that not cannot be put off, cannot be postponed, to observe the inner chatter and the precise place from where it comes.
Unquestionably the wrong inner chatter is the "Causa Causorun" of many inharmonious and unpleasant psychic states in the present and in the future.
Obviously that vain insubstantial wordiness of ambiguous chatter and in general any harmful, damnific, absurd talk, manifested in the outside world, has its origin in the wrong inner conversation.
It is known to exist in the Gnosis esoteric practice of inner silence; this know our disciples of "Third Chamber".
Not more say with complete clarity that internal silence must specifically refer to something very precise and defined.
When the process of thinking is intentionally exhausted during profound inner meditation, inner silence is achieved; but is not what we want to explain in this chapter.
"Emptying the mind" or "put it in blank" to really achieve inner silence, nor is what we try now to explain in these paragraphs.
Practice inner silence to which we are referring does not mean stopping something from penetrating the mind.
we are really talking now of a kind of inner silence very different. It is not generally something vague...
We want to practice inner silence in relation to something already in mind, person, event, or own or foreign matter, what they told us, what did Tom, etc. without touching it with the inner tongue, without intimate speech. ..
Learning to remain silent not only with the external tongue, but also with the secret, internal tongue, is extraordinary, marvelous.
Many keep quiet externally, but with their inner tongue skin alive the neighbor. The poisonous and malevolent inner chatter produces inner confusion.
If the wrong inner chatter will be observed which is made of half-truths, or truths that relate to each other more or less incorrectly, or something added or omitted.
Unfortunately our emotional life is based solely on the "self-sympathy."
To make matters so much infamy only sympathize with ourselves, with our much "beloved ego" and feel antipathy and even hatred to those who do not sympathize with us.
We love themselves too much, we are narcissists one hundred percent, this is irrefutable, indisputable
As we continue bottled up in "self-sympathy," any development of the Being becomes something more than impossible.
We need to learn to see the point of view of others. It is urgent to know to put ourselves in the position of others.
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." (Matthew VII, 12)
What really counts in these studies it is the way men behave internally and invisibly with each other.
Unfortunately, and although we are very polite, even sincere at times, there is no doubt that invisibly and internally we treat very badly to each other.
Apparently very caring, people drag their fellow men daily into the secret cave of themselves, to do with them, everything they please. (Harassment, derision, mockery, etc.)
XXIII
THE WORLD OF RELATIONS
The world of relationships has three very different aspects that we need to clarify precisely.
First: We are related to the planetary body. That is with the physical body.
Second: We live on planet Earth and logical sequence we are connected with the outside world and the issues that concern us, family, business, money, issues of trade, profession, politics, etc., etc., etc.
Third: The relationship of man with himself. For most people this kind of relationship is of no importance.
Unfortunately the people are only interested in the first two types of relationships, looking with absolute indifference the third type.
Food, health, money, business, really are the main concerns of "intellectual animal" mistakenly called "man".
Now it is clear that both the physical body and world affairs are external to ourselves.
The planetary body (physical body) is sometimes sick, sometimes healthy and so on.
We believe always to have some knowledge of our physical body, but in reality the world's best scientists know a lot about the body of flesh and blood.
There is no doubt that the physical body given its tremendous and complex organization, is certainly far beyond our understanding.
Regarding the second type of relationship, we are always victims of circumstances; it is regrettable that we have not yet learned to consciously originate circumstances.
There are many people unable to adapt to anything or anyone or be truly successful in life.
When thinking of themselves from the angle of the Gnostic esoteric work, it is urgent to find out which of these three types of relationships are missing.
It may be the case that we are mistakenly related to the physical body and as a result are sick.
It may happen that we are incorrectly related with the outside world and as a result we have conflicts, economic and social problems, etc., etc., etc.
We may be wrong related with ourselves and sequentially suffer much by lack of indoor lighting.
Obviously if our bedroom lamp is not connected to the electrical installation, our room will be dark.
Those who suffer from lack of indoor lighting, must connect their mind with the Superior Centers of their Being.
Unquestionably we need to establish correct relationships not only with our planetary body (physical body) and with the outside world, but also with each of the parts of our own Being.
Pessimists, sickS, tired of so many doctors and medicines, no longer want to recover and optimistic patients struggle to live.
In the Monte Carlo casino many millionaires lost their fortunes in the game, committed suicide. Millions of poor mothers work to support their children.
Countless depressed aspirants lack of psychic powers and intimate lighting, have renounced the esoteric work on themselves. Few are those who know how to take advantage to adversity.
In times of rigorous temptation, dejection and desolation, one must appeal to the intimate remembrance of oneself.
At the bottom of each of us is the Aztec Tonantzin , the STELLA MARIS , the Egyptian ISIS , Mother God, waiting for us to heal our painful heart.
When is given oneself the shock of "Remembering", it really produces a miraculous change in the entire body of work, so that the cells receive a different food.
