The Language of Intuition?

This is another lecture of Gnostic Anthropology. Anthropology, this word, comes from the Greek language, Anthropos (human being) and Logos, which is a word for ‘study of’ everything related to the human being. That is Anthropology. Gnostic is another word for gnósticos, a Greek word, which means knowledge. So, the whole word, Gnostic Anthropology,?is a Greek root, which is the study of the human being from the Gnostic point of view, or from the knowledge. But Gnosticism is really science or knowledge that is very profound. We find knowledge, or gnosis, in different religions. In the last lecture, we were talking about 'to know' or knowledge. Of course, the type of knowledge that we develop, or we want to develop, is the knowledge related with the Being. One thing is the knowledge that we acquire in universities and different places of the world in many ways, another is the knowledge that we acquire together with the Being.?The Being is called, in Gnosticism, the Tree of Life, and the knowledge itself of the Being is called the Tree of Knowledge. Again, we have to remind you that the Bible, in the Book of Genesis, talks about these two trees, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Good and Evil, which is the Tree of Knowledge,?which were in the middle of the Garden of Eden. Of course, in Gnosticism, we learn that these two trees are related with two symbols, which are very profound. The Tree of Life is the Being. In philosophy, we say that the Being is the Being, and the reason for the Being to be?is to be the same being of the Being itself. The Being is God, the Spirit, the real Self, and when you study the real Self, the Being, you have to study it in the Tree of Life, which in Kabbalah is called the ten Sephira, which are ten parts of the Being.

Kabbalah?is also a word that is very common in this day and age. To the people that have started these types of studies, they hear Kabbalah, this is coming from the Hebrew language kabel. Kabel means 'to receive.' So, when you're studying Kabbalah, you have received. But as we explained in the previous lecture, there are two types of?Kabbalists,?or there are two types of ways of receiving knowledge. The way that we are doing right now, which I'm teaching to you, and you are learning, you are writing, that way is called intellectual knowledge, an intellectual way of receiving doctrine.?But the way that is related to the Being is the Intuitive?Kabbalah. Intuitive is coming from intuition. Do you know what intuition is? It is in relation to the heart.?In the heart, we have those events or actions that when you say, 'I have a hunch,'?it is a hunch that is related to the heart, something that tells you about the thing that your intellect cannot understand, cannot comprehend. That is intuition. But in reality, what is intuition? Intuition is the way in which we hear or we 'sense,' is the word. We sense the guidance of the Being. You see, it is here in the heart when you receive that guidance, it is here in the heart when you receive the knowledge. But for that, of course, we have to learn to put the mind united with the heart to make our mind an intuitive mind. And that of course is a matter of practice, because in this day and age, what we have and when we are accustomed to using is the intellectual mind. You rationalise everything that you see, everything that you need. You rationalise it. You are using your intellect. But the intuitive mind is different, it is the way in which your mind learns from your Spirit. An intuitive mind is a mind which is under the service of the Spirit, or for the Spirit, for your Being, in other words.

When you said, 'What is the Being?' the?Being?is not the ego, as we say in many lectures. That ego that we have, that we call my anger, my lust, my pride, my envy, my gluttony, my laziness, my self-importance, my self-esteem, my fear,?my doubts, etc., all of that is not the Being. The?Being?is something that we have to experience. We have, we say, 97% of ego, which is this false self inside of us, which is related with the four bodies of sin, or it is also called the inferior quaternary. The ego is related with the physical body, with the vital body, with the emotional body, and with the mental body. Those are what you call the inferior quaternary. It means four: physical body, vital body, emotional body, mental body. So, that is what is the ego, but the Being is beyond mind. In order to experience the Being, you have to go beyond your mind, your intellect. The Being is in eternal 'now.' The Being does not think. You see, it comes into my mind that phrase of Descartes. He says, "I think therefore I am."?Wrong. I think therefore I am not. That is reality. If I stopped thinking therefore I am. It says, "I think therefore I am."?[Unintelligible 00:12:13]?it says, "I think therefore I sense my ego, I sense my mind, my emotions etc., but this is not who I am. When I stopped thinking, and I control the inferior quaternary, then I am because the real Being, the Self, or the Spirit does not think. The one that thinks is the mind because it does not know. But the Being, which is God inside, he knows. His philosophy is "Yes, yes, yes. Now, now, now," comprehension of what is life now, without reasoning.?

Comprehension, understanding, is better than reasoning. But in order for you to grasp that you have to practice it. That is why we advise in the beginning to vocalise a mantra or to chant a mantra. Mantra is a fancy word for a word or prayer that will help you to put into activity your intuitive sense or vision. That mantra is a Tibetan mantra that all the monks in Tibet vocalise every day. It is the mantra: Om Masipadme Yom. You vocalise that concentrated in your heart, you imagine a golden wheel here, then you?vocalise, "Om Masipadme Yom," like the wheels of a clock.?I am seeing the clocks when I'm doing this.

Question:

Is that important, that we visualise it?

Answer:

Yeah. See the clock in that direction and speak,?"Om Masipadme Yum."

I wrote the?mantra as it is, as you vocalise it because you find that mantra in other works and sometimes the spelling is another way. But this is the way in which you vocalise it.?[Unintelligible 00:15:38]?Om Manipadme Hum, but the way to vocalise it is, "Om Masipadme Yom."?Extend the sound of every vowel and every consonant. The meaning of that in Sanskrit is, "Oh, my inner God, within me." God inside of me. Of course, that is putting activity here, you imagine that and then the sense or vision starts to develop and then you start to receive, receiving knowledge from your inner Being in relation, of course, with the?psychological?work that you have to do. Then you enter into a field that we call the Intuitive Kabbalah, the way in which you receive knowledge?[unintelligible 00:16:52]?experience. Of course, that mantra increases your comprehension, your understanding, which is directly?related?with your consciousness, with your psyche because reasoning is really for the intellect. Samael?says, "The intellect is an instrument that shows us that, through reasoning, we cannot understand anything." That s the intellect. It is the property of understanding or comprehension that we can accompany in anything because we are always in strings. When it says, "This is black," then we say, "This is black because it is not white." It is dull because it is not sharp. If I am saying she is fat, it is because she is not thin. If I am saying it is dark, it is because there is no light. It is all with the strings, so the mind, the intellect, never takes us to the comprehension of that. It is only to the strings,?comparing,?comparing.

That is precisely the problem that this humanity has in this day and age. Humanity has developed the intellect too much, to a degree that they cannot intuit the things which are there which are very simple, for instance, the book of Genesis. How many centuries does this humanity have the Bible in their hands? How many sects do you find in the world? I am not talking about the religions, because there are many?religions, but just?about Christianity. How many sects of Christianity do you find in this day and age? A lot. And all of them contradict each other. The Jehovah Witnesses, when they came, they stoned the Catholic Church, they stoned the [unitellible 00:19:20], they stoned everybody. The?[unitellible 00:19:23] were the?same thing. And everybody is always saying we have the truth. And he says, "What do you mean, you have the truth? Where is the truth?" Then they point in the Bible, "Here." Then when you talk to the?Jehovah Witnesses, they go,?"Here." And everybody is putting the Bible??[unitellible 00:19:38],?using the Bible as a?[unitellible 00:19:42] in the calendar?to see which line you want to read. Then the logic will tell us, if everybody is using the Bible, in everybody is claiming to have the truth, and the Bible is the truth, and everybody is interpreting the Bible in their own way, the logic tells me that they do not understand what the Bible is talking about, because if there is only one way, then everybody will be only in one religion with only one sect, not many, because everybody will understand what it is.

But because they don't understand, there are many. Everybody interprets in accordance with their own meaning. That is the intellect. But when you develop intuition, you start seeing things and then you have a hunch of something here that means something because, the writers of the books of the Bible, all of them, without exception, were kabbalists. They were receiving that Intuitive Kabbala, beginning with Moses. Remember, Moses wrote the five books that we find in the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and?Numbers. This is what you find, the five books written by Moses. Moses was a kabbalist. And then the rest. Jesus was a Kabbalist. He had two great teachers in Israel, before going to Egypt. And of course, all of the disciples of Jesus who were Jewish, were?kabbalists. This is precisely the mystic doctrine of Judaism, Kabbalah. So they knew?Kabbalah. So they wrote?the Gospels in accordance with Kabbalah. For instance, I do not know if you read the Book of Revelation, this book was written by John the Devine, who was a Jewish student and a Hebrew kabbalist. But they were receiving that, as we know, through the heart. But first, we have to learn that?Kabbalah?intellectually, but we have to combine that with practical exercises in order to develop that, in order to understand that and comprehend more. Not just with the intellect because in this day and age you find many youths who talk about these types of things, esoteric things like?Kabbalah,?alchemy, and many other things that they just do through memory. They do not experience what they learn. That is what you call an intellectual kabbalist. There are many intellectual?kabbalists.?There are many books written by them too, and they are experts in numbers. But here what we need is to develop that superior emotional centre. Here we arrive at that point. Intuition is related with the superior emotional centre. In order for you to develop that intuitive?Kabbalah,?or way of knowledge, you have to develop your superior emotional centre.

Never can you learn the intuitive?Kabbalah?with your inferior emotional centre. What is, for instance, the inferior emotional centre related with? Fear, stress, anxiety, anger, hatred, hunger (gluttony). All the things that you feel here, pride, self-importance, and self-esteem, that is inferior emotion. Superior emotion is related with the Being. Superior is what is above; inferior is what is below. So when you say 'superior emotion' you are talking about the Being, an emotion that is related with It, with the Being. For that, of course, you have to experience through exercise momentum, always here and now remembering the Self, remembering God inside of you, not outside. Remember, in other lectures, I said, "Remembering God is not to remember the God which in some book of the Bible, the Quran or the Bhagavad Gita or the writings of Buddha. No, that God, I am not talking about. The God that I'm talking about is that God is inside of your consciousness. You have to be in touch with it. It is inside of you, not outside. When you start doing that, you are always in a superior emotional state at any time, at any moment. If 'being' is difficult, you have to start doing it. That is why you see that when we start learning the Tree of Life, we see the ten Sephira, ten circles, which are distributed that way. Behind the Tree of Life, you find always an imaginary human being. What do you call that in the Hebrew language? It's called Adam Kadmon, the?heavenly man. This heavenly man has ten parts, and?Adam Kadmon has the ten?Sephira, or the ten parts of?himself fully developed. Let us start here, for instance. You find three triangles. Every triangle is related, if we imagine our physical body, with the three brains. We have to imagine that because these ten parts of the Being are inside of us in potency but not in activity. If they were in activity, you will not need to explain or receive an explanation about this. You do not know about it because they have not in activity.

This first triangle that you see here above the skull is called the three supernos, or the three primary forces, which in Christianity everybody knows as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These are not people but forces called the three primary forces of the universe. The three primary forces are also named: holy affirmation, holy negation and holy conciliation – positive, negative and neutral. In this humanity, for instance, the man represents the positive, the woman represents the negative, and the child becomes the presentation of the neutral. You see a family. In order for the family to exist you need the three primary forces. This is seen from afar, the mother, the father, the child. That is three. In order for a child to exist, we need two of the primary forces. This is why we say that the three forces create. In society, what we find is the cross of Christianity. The man represents the vertical line of the cross. The woman represents the horizontal line of the cross and that's why the third, which unites those two beings is precisely what you find there, the Crucified One, Christ, which you call the Son. These three primary forces exist everywhere. For instance, in our physical organism, we have three nervous systems. Do you know there are three nervous systems that we have in our organism? The first nervous system, or the main one, is called the cerebrospinal nervous system, which is the brain, in the head, to the spinal column. In that area, the?cerebrospinal?nervous system, you find energy, the [unintelligible 00:31:38]. That is positive energy, which is called the energy of the Father, or the active energy. For instance, right now, I am using that energy to teach you. I am active. I am teaching you, I am telling you. That is affirmation. That is holy affirmation, or active energy. I teach you. I give you, but you are there passive. You are not active; you are passive. You are acting, then, with your grand sympathetic nervous system.

Do you know what is the?grand sympathetic nervous system??It is composed of nerves and nodes that you find here around the heart in this area we call the solar plexus. The?grand?sympathetic nervous system is called the emotional brain. That is why, when you feel some emotion of anxiety, you find it here. You will never find it in your brain, here in your head. In this area is where that surprise, like a nut in your chest. The emotional brain is used by actors. So then, when you are listening right now, in this area, we have that chakra that is called the telepathic chakra, which means the way in which you receive is received here, thoughts, the antenna, receptor. Our thoughts are here. Your thoughts are ascending here, and my words here, you are receiving in this area.?So you are listening to words through your ears, but you are acting emotionally. [Unintelligible 00:34:05]?everything that you listen to you rationalise that but you are passive. That is called active-passive, positive-negative. But this is a positive, negative and neutral force, which is also called conciliation. We have to reconcile the positive with the negative in order for creation to exist. Here is how you have to understand how this third force acts. In order for you to understand what I am saying, in order for you to comprehend, you have to ask sometimes. If there is comprehension, if what I am saying is useful for you, if you are understanding what I am saying, then there is a communion here. I am the active force; you are the passive force because, when you are listening, it is useful for you, it is good, and there is communion. That is, of course, what is called the third force, conciliation. When there is no?conciliation?it is worthless. I mean, I am teaching here, do you listen? Sometimes a little. "What is good today? No, we do not like it." There was no?conciliation there, there was no?creation.

Therefore, in order for?creation?to exist, you need to ask. That is why sometimes after the lecture there are questions, in order for you to reconcile what I am saying, in order for you to comprehend that. Comprehension. That is why this third force in Hebrew is called Binah, which means understanding. Sometimes, you say, "I do not understand this, I cannot comprehend this." It is a lack of Binah. There is no conciliation there in whatever you are doing. Any type, anything, any activity that you do you need to reconcile in order to comprehend, in order to understand. Do you get that? Do you comprehend that?

Question:

Is that the third nervous system?

Answer:

Conciliation works in the third nervous system, which is the parasympathetic nervous system. It is also called a digest and is related to the sexual forces of what we call the motor-instinctual-sexual brain in this area.

That is the force of conciliation because it reconciles, it unites the three forces. That is why you see that man is the active force. The woman is passive, she has to receive the man in the sexual act while he remains active. But what is the force that is going to reconcile them in the sexual act? Through the sexual organs, they unite, so the sexual force is the force called the Holy Spirit. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the three energies that circulate in the physical body. That is why in the Catholic Church their hands do this, the cross, "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." They do the cross. Although sometimes they do it here when the real cross is when you are standing because if you do it here your cross is upside down. Many Catholics do that and they do the cross upside down, but then do it mechanically because everybody thinks mechanically without knowing it, and the cross is upside down. But if you do it here, in virtue with your three brains, then the cross is standing. That is the cross beside me that is the symbol of Christianity, the work with the three brains, in other words. The one that carries a cross is to work with the three brains, the three energies. But?everybody, of course, because they do not study Kabbalah, they learn to do the cross, to repeat things there to repeat here, but they do not know the meaning of it. So in order to be real Christians, we have to know the meaning of it. In this case, we are learning esoteric?Christianity, which is related with Kabbalah. So this is what gnosis, gnostic anthropology, is. Gnostic?anthropology, in synthesis, is the union of two great philosophies, Christianity and Buddhism.

But the?Christianity I'm?teaching here is not the?Christianity that everybody is preaching in the outside world,?which is just mechanical knowledge without knowing the meaning of it. And Buddhism is in relation to cosmic sight. You find, on-site, sometimes people that call themselves Buddhists, they do not know what?Buddhism is. You see, for instance,?Christianity?emerged from Judaism because it was precisely when Jesus came. He came into Judaism and from Judaism sprouted Christianity. So you find the origin. Then you find, for instance, Buddhism. Buddhism?sprouted?from Hinduism, because Buddha?Gautama?Sakyamuni, which is the founder of Buddhism, was born in India. Even though Buddhism is very large in many countries, in India it is very small. But in Japan, for instance, in China, Tibet and many other countries, Buddhism is a very large religion that started in India. So Buddhism comes from Hinduism, or what we call?Brahmanism. That is why gnostic anthropology?studies Hinduism, in order to understand Buddhism. It also studies?Christianity, but Judaism, because you would not study?Judaism?or Kabbalah if you do not understand Christianity. It is impossible. That is why sometimes we talk about it and you see symbols here. This is Hinduism, this is Buddhism, symbols that we know how to interpret, of the doctrine, is that, is there, in addition, of course, with inner development. What we are going to do is the actual gnostic anthropology.

So, going back into the tree of life, you find there the three brains and every brain is related to one of the three first sephira on the tree of life. ‘Sephiroth’ is a Hebrew word that they say comes from 'sefer'?and sometimes with 'sippur'?book or wisdom. The thing is that these ten circles are ten emanations of the same being. The higher part is called Kether, which?means crown. That is why it is above the head, which in Christianity we see as the name of the Father. In Hinduism, this Kether,?or the Father, who receives the name of Brahma, is not, of course, a person. Many people think 'idols' but this is just a symbol. Of course, there are a lot of things that you have to learn. Even people in India who have those things do not know about it because always, in every religion, you find the exoteric part of it and the esoteric part of it. 'Exo' means public and 'eso' means secret, only for those that work in themselves. Do you know what is the name of this image? It is called Shiva, which in Christianity is the Holy Spirit, the third Sephiroth of the Holy Trinity: Kether,?Chokmah, Binah. These are the three Sephira, these circles.

Kether means crown,?Chokmah?means wisdom, and?Binah means?understanding, comprehension. But?Kether,?in India, they call Brahma.?Chokmah is called?Vishnu, which means 'the one who penetrates' so that is why in Hinduism they say that Vishnu is everywhere. He is in the centre of the atom, in the centre of any galaxy, any sun, any star. He is everywhere. This is precisely what we call in Christianity the Son. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit – the Holy Trinity. What is the word 'trinity?' It means three unities, three in one. In order to understand that I have to go again to the man and the woman. When the man and the woman are in the sexual act, they are one, one being, with the power of creating. I told you, the three primary forces create, they have the power of creation, but they have to reunite at an even point in order to create.?The man can create. He has sperm. Every sperm is capable of creating a human being, you know that. But in order to create, with his active force, he needs the passive force, which is a woman because a woman has the eggs because that sperm has to be united with the egg. Otherwise, there cannot be creation. But how they are going to unite that egg and that sperm, they have to unite in the sexual act, which is a conciliated force, conciliation.

So in a sexual act, the sperm penetrates the ovum and there is creation thanks to the three primary forces: man, woman, sexual act. This is the energy that is uniting. Then we have life. As below so above, as above so below. Everywhere you find that. What is water, for instance? Typically speaking, it is the union of two atoms of hydrogen. In this case, the two are female and the oxygen is masculine united in that water. Likewise, all the compound elements are the union of the three primary forces in different ways, in order to create a simple atom or very complex planets, suns, moons, etc. So when we learn about this, we call it in?Kabbalah?the three supernos or the three primary forces. We have to learn to think of them as forces and energies because in Christianity, in Catholicism, when they teach about the Holy Trinity, they said, "Oh there are three persons in one God," because they are thinking of giving form to God like a human being." God, what we call God has no form, but is the origin of forms. God has no form because if we start giving form to God, then He/She will stop being God. God has no form but takes any form He/She wishes because He/She is everywhere. Do you understand that?

Question:

You were talking about creation a minute ago, what relation would you say angels have, do they come into play? I want to understand creation as an angel, like Gabriel, but does he come into play in any way?

Answer:

Well, there are many angels, millions and billions. But what is an angel? That is the question.

Question:

A superior being?

Answer:

A superior being,?or better if I said, an angel is a perfect human being. An angel is a being who has fully developed all the Sephira. An angel is?Adam Kadmon?in himself or herself. Gabriel is an?Adam Kadmon. So?whoever develops themselves as a human being 100% becomes what is?Adam Kadmon,?becomes an angel. Or, if you want to talk in the Hindu way, you will say, whosoever develops himself perfectly becomes a Deiva, a God, in other words. What we call an angel in Christianity or Judaism or Islam, in Hinduism, they do not call them angels, they call them gods. Buddhism also calls them gods or?Buddhas.?Different names for the same thing. This is why the people saying, "I do not believe in polytheism, but I believe in angels," well, they are gods too. This is something here that you have to learn from Judaism because all of us here are Christian, right? We have the Bible.

When you read the Bible, you find this, "In the beginning, God created the heaven an the Earth." That is the first phrase that you find. But I have a Hebrew Bible that says, "Bereshit bara Elohim." What does that mean? In the beginning, God created. The translation is: "In the beginning, God..." But I am going to go with other words. I am just going to take the word 'Elohim' for you in order for you to understand. This word is translated in all the languages as 'God' but it is wrong. In Hebrew 'God' is this: 'El.' That is Hebrew for God, which when you find in??'Elohim'?at the beginning. But you take this other word, 'Eloh' that means goddess, a female God in other words, in Hebrew. But these two letters, 'im' is plural, as in table and tables, or viola (one) and violae (many). So there are many ways to say a word as plural, but?in Hebrew, in order to say plural you say, 'im' at the end for feminine, or sometimes you put 'ot' for masculine plural.?

So when you say 'Elohim,' you are adding god, goddess, gods and goddesses. 'Gods and?Goddesses,' is the real translation, so we say, "In the beginning, the Gods and Goddesses created the heavens and the Earth." But because the translators were of course translating in accordance with a certain ideology, because people in Christianity said, "There is only one God," then they put 'God' in order for people to accept that. But when?you enter into these studies, you understand monistic polytheism because, for instance, in Hinduism and Buddhism, they say they are polytheists, they believe in many gods. Christianity, Judaism and Islam believe in only one God, therefore, they are monotheistic religions, while Hindus and Buddhists are?polytheists?with many Gods. But here, because we are entering into the very root, into the very marrow of this thing, we said: monistic polytheism, which is the meaning of both in order not to find a contradiction.

What is 'monistic?' It comes from monas, which in Greek means one, unity. These monas, or Monad, in English, is inside of you. Your Monad is your being, or in other words, your unity, your Self, your spirit. You have a spirit that is your Monad, your own unity. You are a unity. Everyone here is one, but if we take into account all of us, then we say, "Well, we are ten or eleven," whatever. There are many, but each one of us is one. The Monad is inside. The Monad is inside, but if we take all the Monads, all the unities around, we have the word 'poly' as well as the word 'politics,' which means to deal with masses, to live with the many. In this way, we are applying the word 'poly' to the many Monads. Polytheism means 'the many Monads' or 'the many individualities.' The angel is a Monad, but if we are talking about all the angels, then we say 'polytheism,' many gods, in other words, or many angels. So monistic polytheism is the comprehension of your own inner God in relation to all the other unities.

Here we arrive where the great Kabbalist Jesus of Nazareth says, you have to love your own God with all your strength, with all your mind, etc., and the neighbour as your Self. So if I love my own God with all my strength, with all my force, I have to also love and respect your own Being as I respect my own. That is precisely the entering into the communion of the holy. But when we say God is outside, outside where? Who knows where? In the clouds? Maybe beyond the solar system, in the centre of the galaxy or beyond, they say. It is the galaxy inside of you, not outside. If that is the God that the Bible says you have to love with all your heart then you need to love only one, which is your own. It is not outside, but inside. The religion says to love your own God and the neighbour as you do with your Self. It is first your Self, then the neighbour. That is monistic polytheism

Question:

By neighbour, what do you mean?

Answer:

Well, you are my?neighbour. You have your own spirit. You have your own God, so I have to respect your Being. You said the angel Gabriel, this is one Being. You have your own God. You have to work with your own God, or your own Being, or your own Self, but it is Gabriel there that can help you. But Gabriel is another unity, is another monad. So the name is?your neighbour, in other words. But in the neighbour, there are many, many degrees, neighbours that are above you, angels, and neighbours that are below you. But each one of those neighbours has his/her own particular Monad, his/her own particular Being, and you have to see that, not with ego. The ego is another thing because Gabriel, for instance, has no ego, but the rest of the neighbours, which are below, they have ego. When we talk about these three primary forces, they are inside each one of us, inside everybody.

Question:

How does that relate to the causal body, the astral body, and all of those bodies? How does that relate to all four? Do all of the other circles represent them?

Answer:

Yeah. Here, for instance, when you take the second triangle, it is called the triangle of the Being, the triangle of the soul as well, or the psyche. Here we find the Spirit, the divine soul (or the spiritual soul), and the human soul, three. When we talk about, for instance, the Spirit, the Spirit is your own being, your own God. But, the three primary forces above are everywhere. In your Spirit, the primary forces are inside. For instance, this is your Monad and one, two, three – Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So inside of every Monad is always Father, Son, Holy Spirit – positive, negative, neutral in all the bodies. That is why I was telling you a few moments ago, the cerebrospinal system is the nerve for the primary force, the Father, the grand sympathetic is for the Son, and the parasympathetic is for the Holy Spirit in your physical body. Those three primary forces are also in your Spirit, potential forces, forces that create.

That is why the spirit is called the child of God because it emanates from this first triangle. Then we have the spiritual soul and the human soul which are commonly called soulmates. All those people are looking for soulmates. No, the soulmate is inside, the couple, masculine and feminine, is inside. And this human soul is what is called a causal body, which we have to?create. And then below it, we have another triangle which is called the mind, that mind that is listening to me right now. And then the emotional body and the vital body (also called the ethereal body).?And below, the physical body. This is what we know, the physical body, what?we use right now. You are sitting there, listening to this lecture. You are sitting there with your physical body, but the physical body exists thanks to the vital body, the superior part of it because the physical body is only the inferior part of the physical body. So we are here at the very bottom of the Tree of Life.

In other words, physically speaking, we are the inferior parts of that which are above. We have to go up in order to know ourselves. First, we have to start here because, something simple like that, these three primary forces, you have it your physical body. How long you have a physical body? How long to go? 32? 33? 21? Who knows? Each one of us has a different age, but you do not know your?physical body, even though?people preoccupy themselves too much with the physical body, what to eat in order not to make it fat, what exercise to do etc. Meanwhile, related with their psyche, they are zero. You know when you studied in college, in school, that you have a nervous system, but nobody told you that those are the three rays related with the three primary forces of the universe. And there are many things that are also inside of our physical bodies that we ignore because we are just identified with the material things of life. We have to study here how the physical body is related with your Spirit, with your Being, to your life.

Question:

Does intuition lie in the Spirit, or the child?

Answer:

Intuition is related to the heart, interrelated with these two.

Question:

So could you rename those three, that triangle? It is the Spirit, the spiritual soul, and is that the divine soul?

Answer:

The human. It is the divine or spiritual soul, and then we have a human soul. Then we have the mind, the emotional body, vital body, physical body. This is how should the ray of creation descends: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Spirit, divine or spiritual soul, human soul, then the mind, then the emotion, the vital body, then the physical. It goes further, but right now we just read till there. This is precisely what you find – Kether,?Chokmah,?Binah. These are all the names here that I will tell you in other lectures in order for you to learn little by little because there are many things to learn there. At least, what I am talking about here is in relation to the three primary forces. In your head, for instance, you have three atoms related with the three primary forces. When I am telling you 'atoms' I am using the word 'atom' in the sense of the word, which means small. An atom is the smallest part of anything.

So when I am saying that we have three atoms here in the head related to the three primary forces, you have to understand that I am not talking about chemical atoms of matter, but spiritual atoms, small particles of the Spirit that are related to the three primary forces. For instance, here, between the eyebrows, you have a magnetic centre where you find the atom of the Father. That?is directly related with two glands. What are the two main glands that we have there in the middle of the brain? The pituitary gland and the pineal gland. The pituitary gland, in that gland we have an atom of the Son, the second force. And in the pineal gland, the atom of the?Holy Spirit. That is why, the one who works here in this area, until here we have the chakra of?clairvoyance, chakra of wisdom, we will have to use that to develop wisdom, knowledge. We have to learn how to put into activity those forces with that mantra. It will put into activity also here, and also here those three atoms. You have to vocalise that at least 10 minutes daily. If you can do it one hour, but concentrated on what you see.

Question:

We have been given a lot of?different mantras, and I try at least to mouth, to pronounce those as I meditate, per day, but is there one, in particular, that is?more important that we take rather than "aum"

Answer:

Well, the mantra "aum" is a mantra that you use when you meditate,?but this is not for meditation, this is for chanting in order to put in activity intuition. That is why you have to prolong. The mantra "aum"?helps you learn to meditate, but is a mantra that you prolong in order to recuperate the powers of your heart because that is the problem in this day and age, people lost the powers of the heart. That is why they only understand intellectually things. When you develop the powers of the heart, then you can see down, which is behind the word. As I said, for instance, in another lecture, simple things that are obvious, like Jesus says, "For their fruits, you will know them." The logic says there is something there. It doesn't mean that in a moment when you want to know how the people are, they have to have, in their hands, papayas, watermelons, bananas, etc. It means a tree gives fruits. It is logical.

There are many things there that have a meaning that you will not see because the heart is not active. But in this case, for instance, which is very obvious, "For the fruits, you will know them," that means something. But other things that are not pretty obvious because the heart is not active, they say, "Oh, that is literally as it is written." For instance, I see when I read many things, not only the Bible, but other books, I see there is something hidden there. But when other people read it they say, "Oh no, I do not see anything," because it is something there that is not developing. When you develop your heart, you start seeing things. "As for the fruit, you will know," which is very common, very obvious.

Question:

How do you decide, when you are reading the Bible, what is an analogy and what is literal?

Answer:

With the Spirit through the power?of the heart. It is only from the power of the heart, otherwise, if you do not have the power of the heart you will say, "Oh no, this does not mean anything. This is just as it is written," is what many people say. For instance, the Garden of Eden is a symbol. It has a meaning. Adam and Eve has a meaning. The Tree of Life and the Tree of Good and Evil has a meaning. Cain and Abel has a meaning. All of that. The Ark of Noah, there is a meaning in there. When you develop the heart then you will understand, you will comprehend the Kabbalah. But when you do not know that, you end up doing what people are doing now, going to Turkey, trying to find the Ark of Noah in Mount Ararat. That ark never existed, physically speaking. It never existed. And you can not see see people with fruits in their hands because it is ridiculous. You know that?there is a meaning behind it. The Ark of Noah also has a meaning, but because people cannot see that they are looking for that ark there in Turkey. They are wasting there time because that ark?never existed. I repeat: never existed physically. This is a symbol that you have to know, but they do not know that because they have not developed the chakra of the heart. When you start developing the chakra of the heart, then you start seeing the meaning of it.?Intuition. That is intuitive Kabbalah. But of course, first, it is necessary to learn all of this that we are learning here, the 10 main parts of the Being, which is the Tree of Life. When you read the Book of Genesis you find that in the middle of the Garden of Eden was the Tree of Life. It was not a tree that you find here, like an apple or a pomegranate tree. No, it was not like that tree. It is a symbol. The Tree of Life is a symbol of the Being. With the Tree of Knowledge, another tree, a symbol too.

Question:

So therefore, you recommend, in order to develop our intuition, and that way, if we want to really understand and interpret the Bible correctly, we must chant the mantra for intuition so that, as we are reading it, we know automatically what it is trying to tell us?

Answer:

Yeah, but do not expect to understand the Bible after one week of vocalisation, not even after one year, because to receive is to hear the voice of God, of your Spirit, of your own Being inside of you. Then you know, but that takes times. Do not think you have to vocalise, for instance, half an hour, and then you take the Bible, "We will see what is going on here." No, it is not like that. Let me tell you, if you do it seriously, if study and, on top of it, visualise things, maybe after five years you will start seeing things, understanding things. Or maybe less. Who knows? It depends on your level.

Question:

In the meantime, what can we pick up from it, if we cannot decide what it is trying to tell us?

Answer:

In the meantime, I will tell you. This is why I am here. You come in here and I will explain to you the meaning of it. And there is more, but I will tell you just certain things, enough for you to learn the deep meaning of it in accordance with Kabbalah, but you have to practice in order for you to learn too. Not only the Bible, but any other religion, Buddhism Hinduism, etc. You can also read the many other sacred books [unintelligible 1:20:35] to inquire. Then you find that everything is the same. But if you read only with the intellect, you find contradiction, like Charles Darwin. He wanted to find the meaning of the origin of man?[unintelligible 1:20:52]?reading the Bible, Genesis, but he did not understand the meaning of it. Cain and Abel, nothing. He said, "This is just an invention from someone. I will look for the origin of man by my own way," and then they created another theory. Now everybody thinks it is fine. They said that man comes from the ape. The thing is, when you do not know this, you want to explain the origin of man, it is just here. You have to know all about it. Of course, you talk about the origin of man departing from the point of view that we think that we are human beings, but that is wrong too. We are not. We can be, and we are on the way to be human beings.

Question:

So we are not going to be able to receive maybe what we are looking for right away, but should still continue?

Answer:

Of course, the comprehension will increase more and more. But for that you have to develop your superior intuition, your superior emotion. In order to develop superior emotion without mantra, it also helps to listen to classical music as much as a bee enjoys making honey. When you listen to classical music, you have to be like the bee in the honey, inside, or like the fish in the water. The fish swims in the water so you have to swim in the music. And you know that because when you listen to rock and roll, that music that destroys the emotional centre, you are just boom-boom-boom, and you are inside there, unfortunately destroying your emotional centre. But listen to classical music in the same way, swim in it, you will feel that in your superior centre because classical music is related with the superior emotional centre, like the music of Beethoven, for instance. But you have to swim in it. You have to listen to it very carefully and swim in it in order to like it, because you do not want just to listen there and not to swim in it. No, it does not work that way. That is why I say, swim in the music. That is precisely what I observed when young people try to listen to classical music. When they listen to rap though, which is very destructive, they are in. They say, "Oh, I have to start this (classical music) in order to develop my emotional centre." They play it, meanwhile, they are watching TV, or doing something there. It is just in the background. Just to hear it is not enough. The whole thing is?that they do not like it. When I listen to classical music, I like to listen very, very hard because I like to swim in it. And when you swim in it, you develop that, but first you have to like it.

Question:

Can you chant that and listen to classical music at the same time?

Answer:

Yeah. For instance, lie down and play in the 9th Symphony of Beethoven and vocalise the mantra from the beginning until the end of the whole song. Concentrate in your heart and let the music come to you like a big tsunami and you are bathing yourself in the music and the sound, and vocalise that. The 9th Symphony of Beethoven and "Om Masipadme Yom."

Question:

Why specifically the 9th?

Answer:

Because the?chorale is related with the Verb, the Word [unintelligible 1:25:38] is vocalised, if you do that. Then, when they start singing in the fourth movement, that "Ode to Joy," and you listen to that ode and, at the same time, chant, "Om Masipadme Yom,"?inside your heart... Do that and tell me what you experience.

Question:

I guess, while you are reading also, if you listening to classical music, it is??[unintelligible 1:26:09]?

Answer:

If you want to listen to classical music, listen to classical music.

Question:

See, I listen to it, but when I am doing something?because I like the sound of it. And if I am trying to relax, or if I am reading, or whatever, I like to have it in the background. I am still absorbing it?

Answer:

It is good if you are listening and you are working and your are cooking or your are showering during classical music in that back of your activity. It is all right. It is good, but the way that I am telling you is not that way. You have to listen.?You have to listen to classical music to listen. If it is one symphony of Beethoven, only one, then listen. Vocalise that mantra at the same time, then that is the way. After that, if?you want to listen to it when you are reading or when you are doing anything, any activity, do it.

Question:

You mean, basically, just concentrate on the music and speak?

Answer:

Yeah. And then, when I talk here and I talk about this Tree of Life and any other aspects, because we are going to start talking about the Bible and other things in order to explain that, for you to comprehend that, you will say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh." But we have to do it slowly. As Napoleon said, "Do it slow because it is urgent."
