Gnostic Congress of Transvaluation 26 Octomber 2008 - First Part (continued) "The Treasure of Light"
«There are four states
of Consciousness. The first is the Consciousness
absolutely drunk; it is when a person
is sleeping in his bed and the psyche
walks around
in the inner worlds.
The second state of Consciousness
is the mistakenly called state of vigil».
The state in which we are here now.
Seemingly we are awake
because our eyes are open,
but this is not true; inside us there is
a shock, there is a kind of hypnotism,
and if we close the eyes,
immediately we would start listening
to a lot of people.
But the danger of this second state
is that sometimes
a person is walking along the street
and he carries his dreams and his fantasies.
Then, he may want to turn his fantasies
into a reality, and thus he turns into a
very dangerous person.
For example, there are people who place
explosives in his body, get into a bus
full of people, and when they are inside
the bus they push a button
and all of them blow up.
What was there in the psyche of that man?
A dream:
«I am a patriot. If I die
but first I kill thirty persons
I will be received by God
in a paradise, and many maidens
will caress me during eternities».
These terrorists think like this.
You can realize how serious
is this. This has no sense.
How is God going to receive us
after such a frightful and monstrous act,
after killing thirty persons,
and besides, how is he going to give us
the gift of living in paradise?
These are dreams, fantasies. When an individual wants
to match his fantasies with the reality of the
physical world, he becomes very dangerous,
very dangerous; this is an example.
There is the third state of Consciousness,
the concentration. When we
are knelt down, saying a prayer,
and, previously we have concentrated
our self-observation in ourselves
and we have waited for a moment
until the psyche be a little quiet, then,
if we say the prayer absolutely concentrated
in what we are asking,
the prayer will reach its destiny.
The Master says:
«When we say the prayer
mechanically, praying by praying, there is a danger:
he who is praying is the “I”,
because the person is not in the third
state of Consciousness, his psyche
is not concentrated on only saying the prayer.
Then, since there is one “I” praying,
but the others “I’s” are always in contradiction, fighting
to each other, then, they will go against this “I”».
So, if this “I” is saying:
«My God, my God,
help me to solve this or that problem»,
the other “I’s” are going to say another prayer:
«do not solve it»,
and as the answer is given
according to the majority, and they are more,
the answer will be the contrary to our petition.
On one occasion, I was already in Gnosis…
I was a teenager,
I was around seventeen years old
and I had read these things that the Master
wrote about praying mechanically. One day
I was with a fellow who was not in Gnosis,
and we were attending a “velorio” there,
in South America. A “velorio” is when someone died
and the family have him there, in the room of the house
where he lived, and people mourn him for one or two days,
saying prayers and so on,
before taking him to the cemetery.
Then one night that the family
had bought the services of a woman for
praying (because this was bought)
with all the people there,
with the family,
I was surprised when I saw that
they prayed at full speed.
When this woman had not even finished
a prayer, the others were already repeating
the prayer without really knowing
if they were repeating the same.
Well. I remember very well that among
those things that were asked for the deceased,
that woman was saying:
«Holy ***, cover him
with your mantle and take him to the heaven soon».
But what we were listening was
like a mechanical murmuring;
something that we hardly could understand,
because everything was done mechanically,
very quickly in order to finish soon.
And I told my friend:
«Listen, I am going to say
something and nobody will notice what I am saying;
not even the persons who are
by my side. You will see».
And when this part of the prayer came, I,
instead of saying:
«Cover him with your mantle and take
him to the heaven soon»,
I said:
«Cover him with your mantle
and hit him against the floor».
Nobody notice nothing.
And I said again:
«Cover him with your mantle
and hit him against the floor».
And I repeated it five times.
Nobody noticed it.
This showed me once again
that Gnosis says truths.
I always liked to check every thing
of Gnosis, to check whether it was true.
I have something of doubting Thomas inside,
because I always liked to see whether it was true.
And my friend could not stop
laughing; and he said:
«But, is it possible? Repeat it ».
And I repeated it. Nobody noticed nothing.
This is very serious. I tell this so that
you see that we are in the places
like ghosts,
speaking by speaking, but our heart
is not in that prayer. And then…
Poor deceased! Because maybe
he was hit against the floor;
we will never know it. But this is the question.
The Master says that by praying mechanically
we evoke a current of forces
that bring us exactly the opposite to what we are asking;
Then, this is very serious. We have to use the word
carefully and concentrate in the third state of
Consciousness at the moment of praying; and he adds:
«There is a fourth state of Consciousness».
Yes, the Enlightened ones. They do not have any problem;
they concentrate in seconds,
they say a mantra and the mantra provokes a result
immediately, because all the spiritual energy
of that Initiate concentrates in the mantra;
and an energy that is concentrated in something
produces an immediate effect.
