CONF. 26 THE WORLD OF RELATIONSHIPS

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, to the physical body.

Second: We live on planet Earth and by logical sequence we are related to the outside world and to the issues that concern us, family, business, money, matters of job, profession, politics, etc.

Third: Man's relationship to himself. For most people this type of relationship is not the slightest important.

Unfortunately, people are only interested in the first two types of relations, looking with the most absolute indifference at the third type.

Food, health, money, business, are really the main concerns of the "Intellectual Animal" mistakenly called "man".

Now, it is evident that both the physical body and the matters of the world are external to ourselves.

The Planetary Body (physical body) is sometimes sick, sometimes healthy, and so on.

We always think we have some knowledge of our physical body, but in fact not even the best scientists in the world know much about the body of flesh and blood.

There is no doubt that the physical body, given its tremendous and complicated organization, is certainly far beyond our comprehension.

As far as the second type of relationships are concerned, we are always victims of circumstances; It is unfortunate that we have not yet learned to consciously originate circumstances.

There are many people who are unable to adapt to anything or anyone or to be truly successful in life.

When thinking about ourselves from the angle of the Esoteric Work, it becomes urgent to find out which of these three types of relations we are lacking with.

It may be the concrete case that we are mistakenly related to the physical body and as a result we are sick.

It can happen that we are poorly related to the outside world and as a result we have conflicts, economic and social problems, etc.

We may be poorly related to ourselves and sequentially suffer greatly due to lack of inner enlightenment.

Obviously, if the lamp in our bedroom is not connected to the electrical installation, our room will be in darkness.

Those who suffer from lack of inner illumination must connect their mind with the Higher Centers of their Being.

Unquestionably, we need to establish correct relationships not only with our Planetary Body (physical body) and with the external world but also with each of the parts of our own Being.

The pessimistic patients, tired of so many doctors and medicines, no longer want to be cured; optimistic patients fight to live.

At the Monte Carlo Casino, many millionaires who lost their fortunes in gambling committed suicide. Millions of poor mothers work to support their children.

There are countless depressed aspirants who, for lack of psychic powers and intimate illumination, have renounced the Esoteric Work on themselves. Few are those who know how to take advantage of adversity.

In times of severe temptation, dejection, and desolation, one must appeal to intimate self-remembrance. 

At the bottom of each of us is the Aztec Tonantzin, the Stella Maris, the Egyptian Isis, God the Mother, waiting for us to heal our aching heart.

When one gives oneself the shock of "Self-Remembering," there is actually a miraculous change in the whole work of the body, so that the cells receive a different nourishment.

How do I relate to the Physical Body?

How do I relate to the others?

How do I relate to the Planet?

How do I relate to the Being?

  • With spiritual birth we will improve the relationship with our body.
  • With psychological death we will improve the relationship with our being.
  • With sacrifice with humanity we will improve our relationship with others and the outside world.
