Number 15.– The Transition
Linus Pauling,
a double Nobel Prize (Chemistry, 1954, and Peace, 1962), in his report
before “Correo de la UNESCO”, November 1964, considers the
nuclear threat in those days (320,000 megatons, which today, in 2002,
are the same), and wonders “why such an irrational big quantity
of explosive material has been created? I answer this questions saying
this happened because the science education system has been defective,
therefore those who make relative decisions were unable to have a clear
ideas about their actions, if and when there has been some person making
decisions”, et cetera”. At the time of this report, the United
States of America and Soviet Union were the only nations with a nuclear
arsenal. Now in America, Europe and Asia, eight nations can destroy Humanity.
Analysts are aware of this fact: only one bomb over an enemy city is sufficient
to set the Planet on fire.
History registers a similar situation in the beginning of the Aryan Teutonic
age, 24,000 years ago, which is narrated in the Ramayana, the war of Aryans
against Atlanteans, who owned weapons like the present ones, but with
another technology. (See Book IV, “History of Man”, and Book
XXVI, “Anthropogenesis”, Chapter “Fight of 1,500 years”).
The last Atlanteans were smart and perverse. They created big research
centers (like our Universities and Laboratories) for a systematic development
of mind power and control of the elementals; they invented hellish machines
under remote control by the Black Magicians, which killed at a distance,
like our modern orbital missiles, cruisers, airships and terrestrial automatons.
Berlitz and some Russians hold that the Black Magicians had and used atomic
weapons. They longed for dominating the world, like the Global Empire
now, and they nearly achieved it. Millions of Aryans died, and when the
Atlanteans had nearly won the war, Nature came and assisted Humanity:
a cyclic change in the earthly axis took place. The Back Magicians lost
the mind control, fell in earth, and were annihilated. Finally, the Great
Initiates deprived men of the psychic power and astral sight –which
was spontaneous but dangerous. The survivors had to begin from the nothing,
transformed in primitive cavemen. Like our modern scientists, the Black
Magicians –unduly educated– made a mistake and disappeared.
Today any
person or organization, if and when has proper conditions and steady determination,
can get formulae and procedures to make atomic bombs. Several nations
made this, two of them from the Third World. And other nations come up
and are trying the same, because covetousness, hatred and ignorance govern
the modern technology, like that of the Black Magicians. This situation
is karma of this ending world. We are near the time of another change
in the terrestrial axis; it is likely that this history repeats, and that
the gobalized technological system finally collapses by changes in the
electromagnetic field of Earth. The survivors will return to the elementary
childhood, and the Great Initiates will begin to build, upon these pages
in black, the rudiments of the Age of Aquarius: harmony between spirit
and matter.
But children do not learn alone; they need teachers. When Earth collapsed,
the Order of Fire was founded in Kaor, a volcano of Central Asia, and
from there the Masters, scattered through the world, taught men how to
think rationally. (See Book XVI, “History of the Esoteric Orders”).
It was in Egypt where the wisdom of sciences flourished, much before Christianity.
This is perfectly explained in Chapter 4, “The Temple of Initiation”.
And just as the student entered at 12 years of age and had to forget everything
–including his name and family, by means of potions and discipline–
so Humanity has to forget the past knowledge acquired throughout centuries
in schools and books, in order to think otherwise by linking love and
wisdom together. Men should leave aside separativeness so as to reach
this excellent state. Master Santiago’s Teachings report and help
understand transition phenomena from an old world that goes, and another
new world that comes near swiftly.
If we want to understand the state of Humanity now, by comparing it with
initiation grades in the Egyptian Temple of Amon, we should say we enter
the first chamber, when relatives would accompany the candidate in a funereal
procession until the gates and put him in the coffin: a stage of physical
renewal and forgetfulness. So, the calamities shaking us all days, wars,
miseries, outrages, diseases, poverty and so on are shakes of Earth trying
to drop an old, dirty and useless clothes. Also a neophyte would suffer
and fell ill, with a fever, during this purifying stage. After his purification,
they would put him to sleep and led him to the second chamber to develop
his faculties.
“It
was the most beautiful place you can dream. There you could find everything
provided by science and power of a wealthy empire: palaces built with
incomparable white, blue and green marbles of the Ancient Egypt; they
were so marvelous that served the priests to study reflections of the
solar light. These palaces contained the most beautiful paintings, sculptures
and works of art. Gardens were beyond description and with so cared plants
that sometimes only one plant had an exclusive caretaker”(XVI, 4,
9).
May we image that, after the indispensable purification process, Humanity
may enter this marvelous state of harmony with Nature? Yes, because man
is predestined to happiness, after he passed through the stages of the
Way of Renunciation.
There were seven Chambers of Wisdom in the Temple of Initiation, but Master
Santiago only describes the first six. What a mystic wanted to acquire
could be achieved in the Temple: clairvoyance, astral journeys, magic,
ecstatic death, healing power, and so on. Pilgrims from remote countries
came and learnt ancient wisdom; and later they went back to their countries
and would teach the people. All those things lost by the destruction of
the Atlanteans were preserved by the Holy Order of Fire from Kaor, and
transmitted orally from generation to generation in centers where the
Order stayed, with different names. By the hegemony of Semite monotheist
religions, the esoteric tradition of knowledge remained hidden, and we
do not know where the survivors of the august institutions may stay.
Do men can be wise and holy again? Of course, yes; this is their goal
on Earth, but after depuration and forgetfulness. This stage lived by
Humanity at present is the most grotesque caricature that a human being
can reach. Look the reader at the world leaders and great personalities
filling the space in TV and newspapers; then you will swiftly understand
how Humanity has no future such as Humanity is; that a drastic and complete
change is necessary, like the little student put in a coffin at the gates
of the Temple. This situation has no individual or collective choice;
it is karma, unappealable sentence; it is death. It is occurring massively.
One should not weep, but to renounce.
The Global
Empire is covering us everywhere, oppressing us with its economic power,
threatening us with weapons, conditioning us with corrupting cultural
media, and depriving us of chances to dream of a better living. A lonely
and defiant Being stands before this holistic monster: he is Maitreya,
Divine Incarnation, perfect and luminous model of Humanity. There is no
other choice or alternative. To earn “money in style”, as
Clinton wants now? To drug oneself along with 250 millions of desperate
beings? To try an aberrant sex with children, like Catholic priests in
Boston? To escape far away? To sow kamikaze-terror with explosives? Ignorant
masses act like that, accelerating the process of disintegration, sufferings
and the end of the ancient civilization. No escape; one should stick to
the Savior, detached from all inner and outer oppressive ties, walking
the Way of Renunciation, as Master Santiago has showed in his Teachings.
So as Maitreya stays and is lonely, so each man has to make personal decisions
to solve his existential problem. Masses do not consider the existence
of basic questions, and they continue as usual: consumerism, television,
pickets, banging pails and pans, weeping, falling ill, dying; they have
nothing to decide. But a being that refuses to be devoured and seeks pure
air to breathe, has to make a decision.
Master Santiago wrote his doctrine of Renunciation amid world convulsions
of the past century (Second World War, cities destroyed by atomic bombs,
liberation colonies in Africa and Asia. space flights, and so on). His
Teachings helped find the Way, and now they are within the reach of all
men. To this purpose, the following readings are recommended: Book XI,
“Inner Life”; Book XVIII, “The Way of Renunciation”;
and Book XXX, “The Good Way”. All of them are masterpieces,
but the latter ones are fit for a daily apprenticeship. Of course, the
way is very long, and the goal disappears far away, but it is sufficient
to begin to walk in search of God; then you find him. Because the Way
of Renunciation is God Himself: it is your yearned liberation. There is
no complete and perfect achievement, but certainly there are stages, little
achievements within the reach of the soul, and from which we will make
our conquests. A rosary of little daily works of Renunciation forms the
spiritual life. Inner peace is its immediate effect.
