40 A REAL MAN
What is it that differentiates an animal from a man? The life of an animal is summarized to be born, grow, reproduce and die, it is capable of feeling or making decisions but it never asks why the world around it. In the same way, few contemporary men wonder why the sun shines, why there is night and day, why we breathe or what is the reason for life. Children do tend to ask these questions, but when they reach adulthood many of them lose interest in understanding the essential truth that moves the world because their souls become crude when they assume as their own the prejudices they absorb from the environment. Human beings have had a brain that allows them to think for many thousands of years, but in most cases they only use it to solve work problems because for them the word meditation has little meaning. But if this world is full of "men" how is it possible that many of them reach old age without ever wondering why the world is as we know it?
In nature there are two forms of movement, one is physical and the other is mental, with physical we can move with the body and with mental we can travel the world from a scientific and intellectual point of view. This form of displacement is very useful because it enriches us on the inside and makes us stronger. But contemporary man is largely an animal, who actually believes he is a man, but in many respects he is still an animal, because he is only concerned with obtaining stimuli based on the physical or bodily senses that do not require any effort but ignores the immense happiness that the spiritual dimension can bring when achieved through meditation. They do not understand that it was the meditation of some men and their dreams that made contemporary civilization possible. A human animal is lazy and does not want to investigate, that is why it easily indulges in the ideas offered by politicians or religious men and thus condemns itself to be their puppet. They know this very well and therefore they deceive you by stimulating your greed, your fear or your indignation, so that you act rashly and submit without thinking.
In contrast, a true man seeks the truth and does not limit himself to accepting the version of the truth that others offer him. Nor does she try to impress others by wearing jewelry, or insult her body by piercing her ears or tattoos on the skin, or mutilate her children by cutting off part of their sexual organs. A true man makes himself through inner enrichment, and improves his spirit until he awakens the third intellectual eye that develops intuition, and then uses that intuition to improve every day of his life. A true man discovers demons easily, that is, scoundrels who pretend to be very decent even though they are disguised in a suit and tie, they cannot deceive him, because not only can he see his body, he can also see his soul. A true man does not judge by appearances or pretty words but by deeds. This is possible, because he does not act motivated by passionate impulses but with reason in front of him and does not submit to the ideas of others but doubts everything because his objective is justice and truth.
THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS
And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book, written inside and outside and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a powerful angel who with a great voice proclaimed: Who is worthy to open the book and untie its seals? And no one in heaven or on earth or below it could open the book or even fix their eyes on it. And I cried a lot because no one was worthy to open the book or fix their eyes on it. Then one of the elders said to me: Don't cry. Look: the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David has triumphed and will be able to open the seven seals. And I saw that in the midst before the throne and the four living creatures and the elders stood a Lamb like a slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God on mission throughout the earth. Who came and took the book from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. (Revelation 5)
Only the lamb, the lion of the tribe of Judah can open the seven seals, because only he who is pure and just and has made an effort to defend the truth can discover the impostors who appear to be very decent when they are only bandits in disguise.
A true man needs to know what is the reason why the stars exist or what is the reason for life, to find himself in peace, because understanding is to exist and whoever does not seek the truth lives in a mirage. Whoever follows this path manages to be in tune with the universal laws that represent God and then understands that he is also part of God. From that moment on, he becomes aware of the world around him and assumes his ability to change it. Animals do not ask themselves these questions because they do not have the intelligence to ask them, but on the other hand, many men have the brain capacity to clarify those doubts and yet they do not do it, they are not able to understand that only when these questions are asked they stop being animals with human form and become superior beings and true men.
It could be said that in nature there are two types of knowledge, some are those of the horizontal dimension that are characterized by including all the knowledge that we need to reproduce or work, and then there would be those of the vertical dimension that represent those superior knowledge that they make us part of the universe and teach us the deep reason for things. When we seek that higher knowledge through meditation, we become part of God, or rather we find the part of God that we all carry within. Then we understand that there is no greater satisfaction than understanding these transcendental truths and applying them to our lives to be happy. In fact, both dimensions are equally important, because the knowledge of the horizontal dimension represents the positive or masculine pole of life and the knowledge of the vertical dimension represents the negative or feminine pole.
We must not confuse the negative pole with the evil one, because both universal poles are equally benign. This means that evil only represents a wrong behavior that occurs exceptionally, however, it can be related to the feminine pole or the spiritual dimension because moral degeneration is a wrong deviation from spiritual behavior. The universe has dimensions that can rotate, therefore, the horizontal dimension is sometimes shown as male and red, and other times as female and blue, and the vertical dimension is the same. In this way matter is black and feminine, but the materialism that is derived from matter is red and masculine. Therefore, the color black and blue can represent the negative pole and the female sex at the same time. But it must be taken into account that both black and red are generally benign and only in certain situations can they represent evil.
The color red represents the positive or masculine pole, but when it overflows from the place it must occupy to encompass the area of the color blue or the spiritual world, then materialism is generated, which is another way of representing evil. In this case, matter that is feminine just like the color blue becomes materialism that is masculine. This explains why throughout history the color red and blue have been interchanged to represent the sexes, because in the past the color blue was used to represent women and red to represent men. This color was used in their uniforms by Roman soldiers or the British army. Later, blue was used in men's uniforms and red turned into pink to represent women. It is true that as a general rule the color red represents the male sex and the positive pole, and the blue color represents the negative pole and the female sex, but depending on the circumstances the two colors can represent both sexes or both universal poles. The horizontal dimension represents the color red, matter, the present and space, and the vertical dimension represents the spirit, universal truths, time and the future, therefore, only the center represents time and space in the same thing. The green color represents life because it is located in the center of the universal cross where time and space meet at the same moment and at the same point in space, therefore, it represents balance.
Meditation is necessary even as an exception, but it is also logical that most of our time we dedicate to material life, because if it weren't for everything that the horizontal dimension represents, such as reproduction or work, we would not be able to build cities, and neither would we have the company that our partner and children provide us. All those occupations actually entertain us and fill our lives and if we did not have them we would have to look for them, that is to say that meditation is good and necessary, but the correct thing is that it only occupies a minority part of our time. However, if we are not able to understand the vertical dimension, then we will not be able to extract the maximum value from each thing, because what meditation does is help us to discover the deep meaning of things. In other words, the material dimension creates the foundations on which to build civilization and the spiritual dimension teaches us to extract the maximum benefit from everything that surrounds us.
But man, when he is a materialist, only recognizes the horizontal dimension, which profoundly limits his ability to be happy, because he does not understand that the only way to be complete is by giving the same value to the male dimension as to the female dimension or to matter than to the spirit. The man who only values the material never becomes happy because happiness comes from the sensitivity that the spiritual world gives, but whoever is a materialist is as if his soul were made of stone and he is not capable of feeling anything no matter how much money he has, Therefore, despotic people desperately try to get more money because they do not understand that their problem is not a lack of material goods but a lack of spiritual goods. They do not understand that their problem stems from their lack of humility and dignity. In the universe there are two forms of wealth, one is the material one that money gives and the other is the spiritual one that provides dignity and only when we give the same value to both can we be happy.
Those who only value the material part of life never get to know the true motives of life and the universe and thus condemn themselves to know only the apparent surface of reality and not the truth that is hidden within it. The key to happiness consists in finding the balance between maximum wealth and maximum poverty, maximum wealth, because progress is never bad if it is done with dignity, and maximum poverty, because that progress has to be made without forgetting the importance of the little things. Those who waste what they have because they have money, in the end lose much of the potential that they can extract from life. When I say maximum poverty I do not mean poverty as it is normally understood, because happiness can only be achieved when we have all the basic needs covered, I mean living with humility and rejecting senseless waste, because in reality, maximum wealth it is only possible when we make the most of what we have. For example, a person can have a lot of money and with that money he can buy a lot of food, but a balanced behavior determines that the amount of food that we should consume does not depend on whether we can do it but on our body needing it. A person may like clothes very much, but if he fills his house with clothes and takes up the place that should have other necessary things in the end he will feel unhappy. The teaching of all this is that perfection does not consist in having a lot of everything, but in giving each thing its rightful place.
Materialism, (which can also generate machismo), arises when an excessive value is given to the masculine part of life to the detriment of the feminine, and contemporary feminism arises, when it comes to feminine aspects occupying masculine functions Therefore, both behaviors are wrong, because in reality each sex is only a reflection of the universal dimensions that have been created to deal with different but equally important functions. In reality, materialism can be shown in many ways even if they seem opposite, because it exists in capitalism, communism, feminism, nationalism and some forms of unionism, because, although feminism and communism claim to favor women, in reality what they want is to turn women into men, which is equivalent to a materialistic attitude.
Material progress belongs to the red, masculine and salty dimension and spiritual progress belongs to the sweet, feminine and blue dimension and only when material progress is made in line with humility and spiritual values is maximum happiness achieved. We must not forget that poorly managed wealth can also promote stress, or in other words, the things that people have to do to get wealth can also promote exhaustion and lack of free time, therefore, poverty implies having less money, but it can also promote free time and peace of mind. The key, therefore, is to achieve a balance between these two aspects, for this we must try to achieve wealth but without ever giving up the value of free time, because what is the use of having money if we do not have time to spend it.
To be happy it is not necessary to obtain a large amount of material resources but to have those that are needed to solve vital needs, the rest is only a secondary addition, it is good to seek economic progress, but we must do it without losing common sense. Those who only value the material part of life end up dominated by vanity, that vanity is like a black rope that strangles their soul making them suffer, therefore, it is necessary to remember, that only when we give the spiritual part of life the place that corresponds to him, we can find the necessary balance to be happy. Now, we live in the period after the industrial revolution, but in the future the spiritual revolution has to take place, when that happens, those aspects that are now associated with philosophy, such as the life of the spirit or reincarnation, will be scientifically demonstrated.
One of the examples of contemporary materialism is the word disability, this word is actually used to hide the disability of a person in a certain aspect, because whoever suffers from a physical or mental disability does not have a disability but a disability. The word "disability" is used to suggest that the person who suffers from it has a different capacity, when in reality what one has is a lower capacity or a handicap, whether physically or mentally. It is true that a person with a physical disability can be very intelligent and effective through their intellectual work, in the same way those who have an intellectual disability can be very effective in physical tasks, but that is no reason to say that they have a different capacity when what they have is a lower capacity in a part of their body. This attitude is intended to hide reality, therefore, it is an act of arrogance designed to deny the obvious. We live in a competitive world in which everyone pretends to be first, but we must not forget that in order to progress, it is necessary to start first by recognizing our own shortcomings.
It is no disgrace to acknowledge our defects, because in the course of universal life we will sometimes be the first but other times we will be the last. The problem in Western countries is that due to the negative effect that feminism has on the birth rate, fewer and fewer children are having, even there are many couples who only have one. In this situation, parents try to make their children the first in everything and spend fortunes to achieve it, therefore, when they have a child with a disability, in many cases they refuse to recognize it because they are not able to accept that the only one son that you are going to bring to this world may not be perfect. It is true that it is painful to recognize our shortcomings, but how are we going to progress if we do not? It is logical that everyone wants to have perfect children, but that is not always possible.
It is also a mistake to consider a child gifted simply because he has a great memory, because true intelligence does not consist in memorizing everything in the same way that a hard disk records the information that is introduced to it. True intelligence is based on memorizing, but also on analyzing, classifying and discarding what is not useful in order to progress. We must bear in mind that if there are people who have a great memory capacity, it is because in return their brain has reduced other capacities, because when things are memorized in a short time that should take years under normal conditions, then the opportunity to spend the time you need to form an appropriate opinion on each issue. In other words, the speed that a person uses to memorize information is inversely proportional to the depth and quality of the conclusions that they will be able to obtain from that information. This means that if adults insist on getting ahead of children with a lot of memory in their studies, in the end they will have adults with a lot of knowledge, but with a very simple personality due to the little time they will have spent analyzing each question. The one who does what is commanded faster is not more intelligent, but the one who does what is convenient for him. Even so, it could be ideal to have a specialized center for children with a great memory, but the priority should not be that children memorize the information as quickly as possible as it is done now, but rather spend the same time that others dedicate children to study, so that it is possible to know each topic in depth.
The philosopher, when he discovers his creative capacity, learns to fly through space and time through meditation. Through his intuition he can move away from terrestrial matter and visit the stars, that is to say that when he rejects human prejudices and has the courage to seek the truth for himself, he can enter worlds unknown to those who do not take the time to wonder why things happen, because prejudices are like chains that bind them to the ground and prevent them from seeking the truth. But we must not get confused, because prejudices are not the things that tell us that they are prejudices, but the attitude of judging without analyzing things carefully. But most people call what they are told they are prejudiced, and with that attitude they commit a prejudice, because out of sheer laziness they refuse to meditate and assume the beliefs that the masses or their political party consider to be true.
Whoever allows himself to be carried away by ignorance or prejudice is as if he were asleep, because he gives more value to imagination and what others tell him than to the objective truth in front of him, because the truth only requires our effort to find it, only it requires us to open our eyes in order to see it. But those who are lazy and prefer to believe in what they are told without analyzing things in detail, it is as if they were asleep and do not realize that the less they make an effort to understand reality, the more opportunities they give to the scammers who try to handle them.
Advocating for total justice is excellent for those trying to delve into spiritual matters because justice and philosophy belong to the same crystalline, blue dimension. When a philosopher defends total justice, his mind is freed from all responsibility because his conduct is flawless, this allows him to rise to the spiritual world knowing that no position of conscience is going to drag him down to earth, that is, he will have the tranquility necessary to be able to concentrate because nobody will have arguments to be able to demand responsibility for their actions. I do not know if this attitude is so useful when it comes to living a more material life, that is, a normal life with work, wife and children, but it is evident that defending justice is always the best choice, whether it is complete or with exceptions. This attitude is also ideal for discovering demons, that is, those people who have fallen into evil, because only those who are just can easily discover those who are not, no matter how hard they try to hide it. This is possible, because the personality of a righteous person makes a clear contrast with that of those who are not, therefore, it is easier to detect them. The philosophy of justice, is like a compass or a talisman, which protects and guides the way until a man becomes a superior being, it is a reason for being in life and a fundamental religious principle. A person who has justice as the cause of his actions will never feel alone because she is the light that guides his path. Justice must be the axis on which the rest of the philosophical principles are based in every evolved society, because when we take it as a fundamental principle we direct our mind towards obtaining happiness through the fruits of science and not through violence, this guarantees a life in harmony not only for each person but also for the whole society.
In reality, it is work and science that should bring happiness to man and not violence, therefore, in the future all trades will be designed so that people are happy in them, because in reality, the human body is a machine made to work but with the objective that this work is to make the spirit that houses inside it happy. In the future, business productivity will take a back seat and quality of life will be paramount. When a person or a company considers work not only as a source of merchandise but also as a source of entertainment, it understands that in this way people acquire material gains but also the entertainment that each person needs. If we stop seeing work as an obligation and understand it as a source of entertainment, then we understand that we not only need it for the material resources but also for the stimulus it provides us. Because each machine or each tool is at the same time a productive instrument and a means to be happy and if we lacked that occupation we would get bored because classic entertainment only serves to distract us from one working day to another in a secondary way, but when all the time being unoccupied boredom and obesity ensue. Work well carried out should be the axis of our life and the main source of entertainment, but we must allow the same time to rest as for free time, therefore, a suitable way of dividing the day is to divide it into three parts, one to work another for free time and another to sleep.
This would be valid for those who work outside the home is their main task, but those who also had to take care of other tasks such as taking care of the house and children, could further reduce their working day and do only part-time, or not doing any work outside the home while the children are young. Work well carried out not only as a source of merchandise but also as a source of entertainment can complete the man and make him happy and more entertaining. To give an example, when an airplane or a car is built, the work begins with the design made by the engineer and then he gets excited and dreams about the model he is going to build, then comes the assembly phase and the assemblers of the model can enjoy with the handling of the tools and when seeing that the vehicle is more and more complete. This is so, because a tool or a machine not only serves to produce an end or a product, it also provides pleasure and entertainment. Then comes the use phase in which the owner who acquires it also enjoys it.
It is true that at work we lose some of our freedom in exchange for money, but that work also gives us the pleasure of feeling useful and if work were missing from the beginning to the end we would feel that we are not complete, because in reality, and although we do not realize it, it is through work that we can find the main entertainment that we need during the day. This is only discovered by those who work less than they would like. In reality, our body is made to work, but with the aim that that work makes us happy, but not only with the money we get by doing it as people usually think, but also through the entertainment that is obtained by doing that work. The intensity of the work must be in line with the age, therefore, after the age of fifty, the ideal would be to reduce this activity by half, this could be equivalent to about four hours a day, later, as the physical qualities were lost, work would go from being a productive activity to being just entertainment but without ever giving up that the product of work has a practical use insofar as this is possible.
The perception of the world that the senses offer us is like the skin of an apple, and we will not be able to know what is hidden inside if we do not bother to try to find out, to achieve this we must use the best machine that nature has created that it is our own brain. The key to this is that although the progress of science and time create ceaseless changes, the universal laws that sustain that universe are always the same and constant regardless of time and place. This is necessary, because if everything were to change the universe would not have logic, therefore, it is necessary that there exist constant laws to be able to do different things, because the things that change in turn are supported by those immovable laws that never change or that change very much slowly. The most fundamental universal laws never change because they are based on the truth, and of course, the truth will always be the same regardless of how long it may take. The constant laws would be in the vertical dimension and the variable things in the horizontal, both in harmony but both opposite.
This is the circumstance that philosophers use, because when they are able to understand those eternal laws they can also understand the foundations of the universe and consequently they can deduce things from both the past and the future because truth is independent of time. Once philosophers are able to close the loop of knowledge by understanding fundamental laws, from there they can leap forward and draw on that knowledge to better delve into the details of the universe. Then they go to another level and begin the study of a new circle of knowledge but on a higher and more precise scale, getting closer and closer to the axis of successive circles of knowledge where absolute knowledge of things is found. However, this absolute axis is impossible to achieve since for this it would be necessary to gather all the knowledge and it is evident that a single person cannot do it. A single person can have a partial but profound knowledge of a part of the world and all people together can gather a much greater knowledge, what a philosopher can do is to have a global knowledge of the universe although generic specializing in the universal laws of the vertical dimension.
This is important for the progress of humanity, considering that most people only dedicate themselves to learning the knowledge of the horizontal dimension that is the one that deals with normal professions. In other words, a philosopher can acquire knowledge of all levels of wisdom, but having specialized in the sum of everything and not a part, he could get to know a lot about the whole, but that would also imply the inability to have a precise knowledge of the smallest details. For that reason, it is a mistake to turn philosophers into divine myths, because they can have much to contribute to humanity, through their effort to understand universal laws and the spiritual world, but it must be understood that the progress of humanity it is the consequence of the effort of all and not only of some. This is how religions begin to exist, at first they are composed only by ideas partially close to the truth together with a lot of imagination, this happens because those who are ignorant try to compensate for their lack of knowledge with their own fantasy, but as society evolves the part of imagination is in gradual decline being replaced by scientific knowledge. Therefore, when the world completes its evolutionary process, the differences of opinion between science and religion will no longer make sense because the truth will dispel all doubts, then there will only be one religion that will unite science and philosophy in one thing.
When a higher spirit comes into contact with a lower spirit, an imbalance of potentials occurs, because each one is in tune with a different level of evolution, this makes it impossible for an understanding to exist, when that happens, the logical thing is that the spirit Try to teach the lower one so that you can level your knowledge potential with him, once they manage to match their knowledge it becomes possible for them to work together. However, when the higher spirit fails to make the lower one understand its teachings then it feels invaded by loneliness, because being surrounded by people who do not understand it is like being alone. This explains why Jesus did not hesitate to risk his life to share his teachings, because it is better to risk dying doing what one likes than to live indefinitely bitter. An advanced philosopher can always resort to meditation to compensate for the void left by being surrounded by beings who have not yet reached his level, but if he has the opportunity to teach his knowledge, the risk of doing so will not stop his will to share them as long as it is not disproportionate. For this reason, advanced philosophers are inclined to keep separate from society, because only through meditation they manage to bridge the distances that separate them from those worlds that have the same level of evolution.
The bad thing is not being ignorant, the bad thing is when the ignorant says that he is wise. One day I asked a fool, when we look at the stars do we see them as they are now or as they were before? The fool replied that we see them as they are now. So I told him that he was wrong, because the image we see is the one the stars had when they emitted light and not the one we see when that light reaches us. Because if a star is located a hundred light years away that means that its light will take a hundred years to reach Earth. And if the star exploded fifty years ago we will still see it for another fifty years until the light it emitted at the moment of the explosion reaches us. When I told him the answer, the fool smiled and told me what a fool you are for believing something so strange! and he called other fools to agree with him and indeed they did. The moral of this is that it does not matter if you are right or not, because when you are surrounded by ignorant people who are also vain, then it will not matter too much what the truth is, because the fool will not believe whoever tells the truth but to whom he tells what he wants to hear. It does not bother me that a fool takes away my reason, what would surprise me is if he gave it to me, because in a world in which to be accepted it is necessary to defend politically correct truths and prejudices assumed as truths by the masses, So it seems normal to me that many people do not understand these teachings.
During the first part of the cosmic and life cycle on Earth there has been a predominance of the masculine, red and material part of nature that has prompted man to give an excessive value to everything immediate or material over the future or spiritual , but in the second part of the cycle as the universe co
