LOVE Starting from school-desks, students should understand fully that which is called LOVE. Fear and dependency are often confused with Love, however they are not. Students depend on their parents and teachers and it is clear that they respect and fear them at the same time. Children and teenagers depend on their parents for clothing, food, money, shelter, etc., and clearly they always feel protected. They know they depend on their parents and for this reason respect and even fear them, but this is not Love. As proof of what we are saying, we can verify exactly that any child or teenager trusts more his school friends than his own parents. Really and truly, these children and teenagers talk with their school friends about intimate things that they would never discuss with their own parents. This is showing us that there is no real trust between children and their parents, that there is no true Love. It is urgent to understand that there is a radical difference between Love and that which is fear, respect, dependency. It is urgent to give due respect to our parents and teachers, but not to confuse this respect with Love. Respect and love should be intimately joined but we should not confuse one with the other. Parents fear for their children and want the best for them, a good job, a wonderful marriage, security, etc., and confuse this fear with true Love. It is necessary to understand that without TRUE LOVE it is impossible for parents and teachers to guide new generations wisely, even though they might have good intentions. The path that leads to the abyss is paved with good intentions. Let us look at the case known worldwide as "Rebel Without A Cause". This is a mental epidemic that has spread throughout the world. Hundreds of "Rich Kids", said to be spoilt, cherished and loved by their parents who attack defenseless pedestrians, beat and rape women, steal, stone, hang around in gangs causing damage to everything, they are disrespectful to teachers, parents, etc. "The Rebels Without A Cause" are the result of lack of true Love.

Where there exists true Love, there cannot exist "Rebels Without A Cause". If parents really loved their children they would know how to guide them intelligently and there would be no "Rebels Without A Cause". "Rebels Without A Cause" are the result of bad guidance. Parents have not felt enough Love for them to really dedicate themselves to guiding their children wisely. Modern parents only think of money and of giving their children more and more; the latest car, the latest fashion in clothes, etc., but they do not really love. Parents do not truly love, they do not know how to love and the result is the "Rebels Without A Cause". The superficiality of this era is due to a lack of true Love. Modern life is like a shallow pond, no depth to it. In the profound lake of life many creatures can exist, a lot of fish, but a puddle by the side of the road is soon dried up by the rays of the sun and then the only thing left behind is mud, poverty and ugliness. It is impossible to understand the beauty of life in all its glory if we have not learnt to Love. People confuse respect and fear with Love. We respect our superiors, fear them and then we think we love them. Children fear their parents and teachers, respect them and then think they love them. The child fears the whiplash, authority, bad grades, scolding at home or in school, etc., and then thinks he really loves his parents and teachers but actually he fears them. We depend on the JOB, on the BOSS. We fear the misery of staying unemployed and then we believe that we love the BOSS, and we even watch out for his interests, take care of his interests, but that is not love. That is fear. Many people are afraid of thinking for themselves about the mysteries of life and death. They are afraid to inquire, investigate, understand, study, etc., and then they exclaim, "I love God, and that is Enough!" tbc... |

They believe that they love God, but in reality, they do not love, they fear. During a war, a wife feels that she adores her husband more than ever and hopes with infinite anxiety that he returns home, but in reality, she does not love him. She is simply afraid to be left without a husband, without protection, etc. Psychological slavery, depending on someone, is not love. It is merely Fear and that is all. A child at school depends on his teacher and it is obvious that he fears expulsion, low grades, reprimands, and many times believes that he loves the teacher but what happens is that he fears him. When a wife is pregnant or in danger of death because of whatever illness, her husband believes that he loves her much more, but what is really happening is that he fears losing her. He depends on her for many things, such as food, sex, laundry, caresses, etc., and is afraid of losing her. That is not Love. Everyone says that he adores everybody but that is not the case. It is very rare to find someone in life who knows how to truly Love. If parents truly loved their children, if children truly love their parents and teachers truly loved their students, no wars could exist. Wars would be one hundred percent impossible. What happens is that people do not understand what Love is and every fear, every psychological slavery, every passion, etc., is confused with Love. People do not know how to Love, if they did, life would be a paradise. Lovers believe that they love and many would swear with blood that they love. However, they are only impassioned. Once that passion is satisfied, the sandcastle falls to the ground. Passion tends to fool the Mind and the Heart. Everyone with passion believes that he is in love. It is very rare in life to find a couple truly in Love. Impassioned couples abound, but it is very difficult to find a couple in Love. All artists sing of love but they do not know what Love is and confuse Passion with Love. If there is something very difficult in life, it is to avoid confusing Passion with Love. Tbc.. |

Passion is sexual a hundred per cent. Passion is beastly but sometimes it is also very refined and subtle. It is always confused with Love. Teachers should teach students and teenagers how to distinguish between Love an Passion. Only in this way will many tragedies in life be prevented later on. Teachers are obliged to encourage responsibility in students, therefore they should properly prepare them so that they do not fall themselves into tragedies of life. It is necessary to understand what Love is, for it cannot be mixed with jealousies, passions, violence, fear, attachments, psychological dependence, etc. Love, unfortunately, does not exist in human beings, and it is not something that can be acquired, bought, or cultivated like green house plant. Love should be born in us. It is only born when we have thoroughly understood the hatred, fear, sexual passions, psychological slavery and dependence we carry within. We should understand what these psychological defects are, and how they are processed within us, not only on the intellectual level of life, but also in other hidden and unknown levels of the subconscious. It is necessary to take out all those defects from the many windings of the mind. Only in this way is Love born within us in a spontaneous and pure form. It is impossible to try to transform the world without the flame of Love. Only Love can truly transform the world. Tbc.. |

THE MIND By experience we have been able to prove that it is impossible to understand what Love is, until we have completely understood the complicated problem of the mind. Whoever supposes that the mind is the brain is completely mistaken. The mind is energetic, subtle and can become independent of matter. It transports itself to very remote places to see and hear what is happening in those places under certain hypnotic states or during normal sleep. In laboratories of parapsychology, noteworthy experiments are made on individuals in a hypnotic state. Many people in a hypnotic state have been able to give minute detail about events, people and situations that have been taking place during their hypnotic trance in very remote distances. After these experiments, scientists have been able to verify the reality of the information concerning the facts and accuracy of events. With these experiments in laboratories of parapsychology, it has been totally demonstrated through observation and experience that the brain is not the mind. Indeed, we can truly say that the mind can travel through time and space, independently of the brain, to see and hear things that happen in remote places. The reality of extrasensory perception has already been completely proved and only a crazy person or an idiot, could think of denying the reality of extrasensory perception. The brain is made to elaborate thought but it is not thought. The brain is merely an instrument of the mind, however it is not the mind. We need to study the mind in depth if we truly want to know fully that which is called Love. The mind of children and young people, are more elastic, ductile, quick, alert, etc. There are many children and young people who enjoy asking their parents and teachers, about this, that and the other. They want to know something more, that is why they ask, observe, see certain details that adults do not appreciate or do not perceive. As the years go by and we become older, the mind sets itself little by little. tbc... |

The minds of old people are set, fixed, and would not change for anything in the world. Old peoples' minds are already fixed, and like this they die, they do not change. Everything is elaborated from a fix point of view. The "nonsense" of old people, their prejudices set ideas, etc., all appear like a rock, a stone that does not change in any way. That is why people commonly say: "That's the way I am, always have been and always will be". It is urgent for teachers who are in charge of forming the personality of students, to study the mind in depth so that they are able to intelligently orientate new generations. It is painful to understand how the mind becomes fixed little by little as time goes by. The mind is the killer of what is real and true. The mind destroys Love. Whoever arrives at old age is no longer capable of Loving because his mind is full of painful experiences, prejudices, set ideas like hard rocks. There are dirty old men who believe they are still capable of Loving, but what is actually happening is that they are full of senile sexual passions and confuse passion with Love. Every "dirty old man or woman" passes through tremendous lustful, passionate states before dying and they believe that this is Love. It is impossible for old people to love because the mind destroys it with its "nonsense", "set ideas", "prejudices", "jealousy", "experiences", "memories", "sexual passions", etc. The Mind is Love's worst enemy. In super-civilized countries, Love no longer exists because people's minds only smell of factories, bank accounts, retails products, etc. There are many traps for the mind and the mind of every person is well bottled up. Some have bottled their minds in abominable communism: others have bottled it in heartless capitalism. There are some who have bottled their mind in jealousy, hate, desire to be rich and have a good social position, attachments to certain people, or attachment to their own suffering and family problems, etc. People love bottling up the mind. Few are those who decide to truly smash the bottle to pieces. Tbc... |

We need to free the mind, but people love slavery, and it is very rare to find someone in life who does not have the mind totally bottled up. Teachers should teach their students all these things. They should teach new generations to observe their own mind, to investigate and understand it. Only through profound understanding can we prevent the mind from crystallizing, freezing and becoming bottled up. The only thing that can transform the world is Love, but the mind destroys Love. We need to study our own mind, observe, investigate it profoundly, truly understand it. Only in this way, in becoming masters of ourselves, of our own mind, will we kill the killer of Love and truly be happy. Those who live beautifully fantasizing about Love, who live making projects about Love, who want Love to work in accordance to their likes and dislikes, projects and fantasies, norms and prejudices, memories and experiences, etc., will never be able to really know what Love is. They have in fact, become enemies of Love. It is necessary to understand fully what the processes of the mind are in the state of accumulation of experiences. Many times a teacher justly reprimands but sometimes he/she does so stupidly and without any true reason, without understanding that every unjust reprimand remains in the minds of students. The result of such a mistaken procedure is usually the loss of Love for the teacher. The mind destroys Love and that is something that school, college and university teachers should never forget. It is necessary to deeply understand all those mental processes that put and end to the beauty of Love! It is not enough to be a parent; it is necessary to know how to Love. Parents believe that they love their children because they have them, because the children belong to them, such as when someone owns a bicycle, a car or a house. That sense of possession and dependence is usually confused with Love but can never be Love. Teachers of our second home which is school, believe they Love their students because they are in charge of them but that is not Love. The sense of possession or dependence is not Love. The mind destroys Love and only by comprehending all the mistaken fuctionalisms of our mind, our absurd way of thinking, our bad customs, mechanical habits, wrong way of looking at things, etc., can we come to live and truly experience that which does not belong to time and which is called Love.

Re: The Most Fundamental Of All Educations(101) by BdorianGray(m): 8:53am On Jan 06, 2020 |
Whoever wants love to transform itself into a piece of their mechanical routine; whoever wants Love to walk upon the mistaken track of their own prejudices, cravings, fears, experiences of life, selfish way of looking at things, mistaken way of thinking, etc., do in fact put an end to Love because the latter never allows itself to be subdued. Whoever wants Love to works as "I like", "I desire", "I think", lose Love because Cupid the God of Love, is never ready to let himself be enslaved by the Ego. We have to annihilate the "Ego", the "Myself", the "Id", so we do not lose the child of Love. The Ego is a bunch of memories cravings, fears, hatreds, passions, experiences, selfishness, envies, lust, etc. Only by understanding each defect separately, by studying and directly observing it, not only in the intellectual region but also in all the subconscious levels of the mind, will each defect disappear as we die from moment to moment. Only in this way will we achieve the disintegration of the Ego. Whoever wants to bottle Love up within the horrible traps of the Ego, loses it and stays without it because Love can never be bottled up. Unfortunately people want Love to behave according to their habits, desires, customs, etc. People want to submit Love to the Ego and that is absolutely impossible, since Love does not obey the "EGO". Couples in love or better said, couples with passion for each other, suppose that Love should keep faithfully within the limits of their own desires, concupiscences, errors, etc., and in this way they are totally wrong. "Let's talk about us!", say couples in love or sexually passionate for each other, who are plentiful in this world. Then we hear conversations, projects, desires and goals. Each has something to say, he or she puts forward projects, desires, his or her way of looking at things of this life and each wants Love to move like a train on steel tracks forged by the mind. How wrong, how lost are these couples in Love or with passions! How far away from reality they are! Love does not obey the Ego and when partners want to chain it down by the neck and submit it, it escapes leaving the couple in disgrace. Tbc... |

The mind has a bad habit of comparing. A man compares one girlfriend to another, a woman compares one man to another. A teacher compares one student to another student, as if all of them do not deserve the same appreciation. Truly, all types of comparison are abominable. Whoever contemplates a beautiful sunset and compares it to another does not really know how to understand the beauty he has before his very eyes. Where there is comparison, there is no true Love. A father and a mother who really love their children will never compare them to anyone. They will simply love them and that is all. A husband who loves his wife never makes the mistake of comparing her to anyone else. He loves her and that is all. The teachers who really love their students will never discriminate and never compare one with another. They truly love them and that is all. A mind divided by comparisons and enslaved by duality's destroys Love. A mind divided by the struggle of opposites is not capable of understanding the new, it becomes petrified and frozen. The mind has many depths, regions, subconscious areas, labyrinths; but the worthiest is the Essence, the Conscience, which is in the centre. When duality's ceases to exist, when the mind becomes integrated, serene, quiet, profound; when it no longer compares, then the Essence, the Conscience, awakens, and this should be the true objective of Fundamental Education. Let us distinguish between Objectivity and Subjectivity. In Objectivity there is awakened Conscience. In Subjectivity there is sleep Conscience, Subconsciousness. Only Objective Conscience can enjoy Objective Knowledge. The intellectual knowledge that is actually received by students attending schools, colleges and universities is one hundred percent Subjective. Objective Knowledge cannot be acquired without an Objective Conscience. Students should first achieve Self-Consciousness and then Objective Conscience. Only through the Path of Love, can we achieve Objective Conscience and Objective Knowledge. It is necessary to understand the complex problem of the mind if we truly want to tread the path of Love.

KNOWING HOW TO LISTEN In the world there are many orators who astonish with their eloquence, however, few are those who know how to listen, to know how to listen is very difficult. When a TEACHER or LECTURER speaks, the audience seems to be very attentive as if following in detail each word of the speaker. Everything indicates that they are listening, that they are in a state of alertness, but in the psychological depth of each individual there is a secretary that translates each word of the speaker. This SECRETARY is the "EGO", the Myself, the I's. The job of this secretary consists in misinterpreting, in mistranslating the words of the speaker. The EGO translates in accordance with its prejudices, preconceptions, fears, pride, anxieties, ideas, memories, etc. Students and people who together constitute the listening audience, are not really listening to the speaker. They are listening to themselves, their own Ego, their beloved Machiavellian Ego that is not willing to accept what is Real, the Truth and the Essential. Only in a state of alert Novelty, with a Spontaneous Mind, free from the burden of the past, in a state of full Receptivity, can we listen without the intervention of that wretched ill-omened secretary, the Ego. When the mind is conditioned by memory, it only repeats what it has accumulated. A mind conditioned by experiences of so many yesterdays can only see the present through the cloudy lens of the past. If we want to know how to listen, if we want to learn how to listen, to discover the new, we should live in accordance with the philosophy of the present Moment. It is urgent to live from moment to moment, without the preoccupations of the past and without the projects of the future. The Truth is the unknown from moment to moment. Our minds should always be alert, in complete attention, free form prejudices, preconceptions, so as to really be receptive. Schoolteachers should teach their students the profound significance contained in knowing how to listen. It is necessary to learn to live wisely, refining our senses, refining our behaviour, our thoughts and our feelings. Tbc.. |

If we do not know how to listen, and we are not capable of discovering the new from moment to moment, it is useless to have a great academic background. We need to refine attentions, to refine our manners, refine our people, our things, etc. It is impossible to be truly refined when we do not know how to listen. Crude, rough, deteriorated, degenerated minds never know how to listen, never know how to discover the new. Those minds only understand in a mistaken way the absurd translations of that satanic secretary called the EGO. To be refined is something very difficult and it requires complete attention. Someone can be a very refined person, in fashion, in suits, dresses, gardens, cars and friendships, however, he will continue being rough, crude and unpleasant within. Whoever knows how to really live from moment to moment, treads the path of true refinement. He who has a receptive, spontaneous, integral, alert mind, walks on the path of authentic refinement. Whoever opens himself to everything new, abandoning the burden of the past, preconceptions, prejudices, jealousies, fanaticisms, etc., walks victoriously along the path of authentic refinement. The degenerated mind lives imprisoned in the past, in preconceptions, pride, selfesteem, prejudices, etc. The degenerated mind does not know how to see new things, does not know how to listen; it is conditioned by Self-Esteem. The fanatics of Marxism-Leninism do not accept new things, do not admit the fourth characteristic of all things, the fourth Dimension, because of pride. They love themselves too much, they become attached to their own absurd materialistic theories and when we place them in the field of actual facts, and when we demonstrate the absurdity of their sophisms they raise their left arm, look at their wristwatch and give an evasive excuse to leave. Those are degenerate minds, decrepit minds that do not know how to listen nor how to discover the new, that do not accept reality because they are imprisoned in Self-Esteem. Minds that love themselves too much, minds that do not know about cultural refinements, crude, course minds, rough minds, that only listen to their beloved EGO. Tbc... |

Fundamental Education teaches how to listen, teaches how to live wisely. Teachers of schools, colleges and universities should teach their students the real path of true vital refinement. It is of no use to spend ten or fifteen years in schools, colleges and universities if on coming out, we are internally true pigs in our thoughts, ideas, feelings, and habits. Fundamental Education is needed urgently because the new generations represent the beginning of a new era. The hour of True Revolution has arrived, the moment of Fundamental Revolution has arrived. The past is the past and has already given fruits. We need to comprehend the deep meaning of the moment in which we live. Tbc.. |

WISDOM AND LOVE Wisdom and Love are the two main pillars of every true civilization. On one pan of the scales of Cosmic Justice we should place Wisdom, on the other we should place Love. Wisdom and Love should balance each other mutually. Wisdom without Love is a destructive element. Love without Wisdom can lead us into error, "Love is Law but Conscious Love". It is necessary to study much and acquire knowledge but it is also urgent to develop the Spiritual Being within us. Knowledge without the Spiritual Being well developed within us in a harmonious way becomes the cause of that which is called knavery. The Being well developed within us but without intellectual knowledge of any kind gives rise to silly Saints. A silly Saint possesses very developed Spiritual Being but since he does not have intellectual knowledge, he cannot do anything because he does not know how to. A silly Saint has the power of doing but he can not do because he does not know how to. Intellectual knowledge without the Spiritual Being well developed produces intellectual confusion, perversity, pride, etc. During the Second World War thousands of scientists devoid of any spiritual elements in the name of science and humanity committed terrible crimes with the purpose of carrying out scientific experiments. We need to form a powerful intellectual culture. However, very well balanced with true Conscious spirituality. We need Revolutionary Ethics and a Revolutionary Psychology if we really want to dissolve the EGO in order to develop the True spiritual BEING within us. Unfortunately, for lack of Love, people use the intellect in a destructive way. Students need to study science, history, mathematics, etc. It is necessary to acquire vocational skills with the purpose of being useful to our fellow beings. Tbc... |
Re: The Most Fundamental Of All Educations(101) by BdorianGray(m): 8:56am On Jan 13, 2020 |
It is necessary to study, it is indispensable to accumulate basic knowledge, however fear is not indispensable. Many people accumulate skills because of fear; they are afraid of life, death, hunger, misery, to "what people will say", and for this reason they study. One should study because of Love towards our fellow men with the desire of serving them better but one should never study because of fear. In practical life we have been able to prove that all those students that study because of fear, sooner or later become rascals. We need to be sincere with ourselves in order to observe and discover in ourselves all the processes of fear. In life we should never forget that fear has many phases. Sometimes fear is confused with courage. Soldiers on the battlefield seems to be very brave but in reality they move and fight due to fear. A person who commits suicide seems at first sight to be very brave, but in reality he is a coward who is afraid on life. All rascals in life appear to be very brave but deep down they are cowards. Rascals often use their profession and power in a destructive way when they are afraid. For example Castro Ruz in Cuba. We never pronounce ourselves against the experience of practical life or against the cultivation of intellect but we condemn the lack of Love. Knowledge and experience of life become destructive when there is lack of Love. The Ego usually traps intellectual knowledge and experience when that which is called Love is absent. Husbands and wives should always feel as if they were recently married, forgetting the past and happily living the present. Love and resentments are incompatible atomic substances. In true love, no resentments of any kind can exist. Love is eternal forgiveness. Love exists in those who feel true anguish for the suffering of their friends and enemies. True love exists in him who wholeheartedly works for the wellbeing of the humble, poor and needy. Love exists in him who, in a natural and spontaneous way, feels sympathy for the peasant who waters the furrow with the sweat of his brow; for the villager who suffers; for the beggar who asks for a coin; and for the humble dog in anguish and sickness which dies of hunger on the roadside.

When we help someone wholeheartedly, when in a natural and spontaneous way, we care for a tree and water the flowers in the garden without anyone demanding it from us, then authentic generosity, true sympathy and love exist. Unfortunately people are not truly generous to the world. People are only concerned with their own selfish gains, desires, knowledge, experiences, sufferings, pleasures, etc. Many people exist in the world who possess only false generosity. False generosity exists in the astute politician, in the electoral "fox" who spends money with the goal of obtaining power, prestige, position, wealth, etc. We should not confuse false generosity with true generosity. True generosity is absolutely disinterested but can easily be confused with the selfish and false generosity of political "foxes" capitalist crooks, and satyrs who desire women, etc. Generosity should come from our hearts. True generosity is not of the mind. Authentic generosity is the perfume of the heart. If people were generous, they would forget resentments accumulated in their memories, all the painful experiences of the many yesterdays and would learn to live from moment to moment, always happy, always generous, full of true sincerity. Unfortunately, the Ego is memory and lives in the past, it always wants to return to the past. The past overcomes people, destroys happiness, kills love. A mind bottled up in the past can never fully understand the profound significance of the present moment in which we live. Many people write to us seeking consolation, asking for a precious ointment to heal their painful heart, but few are those who worry about comforting the afflicted. The Ego abuses experiences and the intellect by using them to grow stronger. On disintegrating the Ego, experiences and the intellect remain in the hands of the INTIMATE BEING and all abuse then becomes impossible. Every student should guide himself on the vocational path and study in depth all theories related to his vocation. Studies and the intellect do not harm anyone, but we should not abuse the intellect. Tbc.. |
Re: The Most Fundamental Of All Educations(101) by BdorianGray(m): 8:57am On Jan 16, 2020 |
We need to study to avoid abusing the mind. He who wants to study theories of different vocations, who wants to harm others with the intellect, who practices violence on another's mind, etc., abuses the mind. It is necessary to study professional and spiritual subjects in order to have a balanced mind. It is urgent to arrive at an intellectual and spiritual SYNTHESIS if we really want a balanced mind. Teachers of schools, colleges and universities should study our Revolutionary Psychology in depth if they really want to lead their students along the path of FUNDAMENTAL REVOLUTION. It is necessary that students acquire SPIRITUAL BEING and develop the TRUE BEING in themselves so that they leave school transformed into responsible individuals, and not silly Rascals. Wisdom without Love is useless. Intellect without Love only produces rascals. Wisdom in itself is an Atomic Substance, atomic capital that should only be administered by individuals filled with true Love. Tbc.. |

GENEROSITY It is necessary to love and be loved but unfortunately for the world, people do not love neither are they loved. Real love is something unknown to people who confuse it very easily with passion and fear. If people were capable of loving and being loved, wars should be impossible on the face of the earth. Many marriages could be truly happy but unfortunately they are not, due to old resentments accumulated in their memories. If married couples were generous, they would forget the painful past and would live fully; filled with true happiness. The mind kills and destroys love. Experiences, disagreement, jealousy, etc., when accumulated in our memory, destroy love. Many resentful wives could be happy if they were generous enough to forget the past and live in the present adoring their husbands. Many husbands could be truly happy with their wives if they were generous enough to forgive old errors and forget quarrels and unhappy situations accumulated in their memories. It is necessary and urgent that married couples understand the profound meaning of the present moment. Many people write to us about the miserable state they live in but very few are those who break their only loaf of bread, which will satisfy their own hunger, to share it with others in need. People do not want to understand that a cause exists behind any effect and that only by changing the cause do we modify the effect. The Ego, our beloved Ego, is energy which has lived in our ancestors and which has given rise to certain past causes whose present effects condition our existence. We need Generosity to modify causes and to transform effects, to wisely guide the ship of our existence and to radically transform our own life. Real effective generosity is not of the mind. Authentic sympathy, halts generosity of the heart and annihilates within us the delicious perfume of love. tBC... |

Fear is the root of all corruption, the secret origins of all wars, the mortal poison that degenerates and kills. School, college and university teachers should understand the need to place their students on the path of true generosity, courage, and sincerity of the heart. The clumsy, rotten people of past generations, instead of understanding the lethal poison called fear, have cultivated it like an ill-fated flower in a green house. The result of such an action has been corruption, chaos and anarchy. Teachers should understand the critical times in which we live today and the need to build up future generations on a solid base of revolutionary ethics that is in tune with the atomic era, which in these moments of pain and suffering is dawning among the majestic sounds of thought. Fundamental education bases itself on revolutionary psychology and on revolutionary ethics in tune with the new vibrating rhythm of this new era. A sense of cooperation should totally displace the horrible battle of selfish competition. It becomes impossible to know how to cooperate when we exclude the effective and revolutionary principle of generosity. It is urgent to fully understand, not only on the intellectual level but also in the distinct unconscious corners of the subconscious mind, what the lack of generosity and the horror of selfishness is. Only by realizing what selfishness and lack of generosity really are can the delicious fragrance of TRUE LOVE and EFFECTIVE GENEROSITY, which is not of the mind, burst forth in our hearts. tbc... |

UNDERSTANDING AND MEMORY To remember is to try to store in the mind what other people have told us, what has happened to us, what we have hear, seen or read, etc. Teachers want their students to store faithfully in their memory their words, their phrases, what is written in schoolbooks, entire chapters, heavy home-works, etc. To pass tests means to remember what we have been told and what we have mechanically read. It means to verbalise memory, to repeat everything that we have stored in our memory like parrots. It is necessary that new generations understand that repeating everything in the memory like a record does not mean having understood anything in depth. To remember is not to understand. The memory belongs to the past; it is something dead that no longer has life. It is imperative and of great contemporary importance that all students in education really understand the deep meaning of profound Understanding. To Understand is something immediate, direct, something that we live intensely, something that we experience profoundly and which inevitably is transformed into intimate means of conscious action. To remember or to recall is something dead, it belongs to the past and unfortunately it becomes and ideal, a motto, and idea, that we want to imitate mechanically and follow unconsciously. In true Understanding, in profound Understanding, in intimate Understanding there is only the pressure of the Conscience, constant pressure born from the essence that we carry within. Real Understanding manifests itself as spontaneous natural and simple action, free of the depressing process of choice, pure without indecisions of any type. Understanding transformed into secret means of action is splendid, wonderful, edifying and essentially dignifying. Calculation is the action based on recalling what we have read, the ideal we aim at, the norm of behaviour that we have been taught, of the accumulated experiences in memory, etc. It depends on depressing option, it is dual, based on conceptual choice which only leads inevitably to error and pain. To adapt action to remembrance, to try to modify action so that it coincides with memories accumulated in us, is something artificial, absurd, without spontaneity and can inevitably only lead to error and pain. tbc... |

To pass exams, can be accomplished by any dolt who has a good dose of astuteness and memory. To understand subjects that have been studied and which one is going to be examined on, is something very different from memorizing subjects, it belongs to true intelligence which should not be confused with intellectualism. People who want to base all the actions of their life on ideals, theories and memory of all types accumulated in the warehouses of the mind, always go around comparing, and where comparison exists, envy also exists. People compare themselves, their children and relatives, with neighbours and neighbours' children and relatives. They compare their house, furniture, chothes and all their material things with those of their neighbours and people in society. They compare their ideas, intelligence of their children, etc., with ideas and intelligence of other people, this results in envy which is transformed into the hidden cause of action. Unfortunately for this world, the whole mechanism of society is based on envy and acquisition. The whole world envies the whole world. We envy ideas, things, people and we want to acquire more and more money, new theories, new ideas that we accumulate in our memory, new things so as to dazzle our neighbors, etc. In real, true understanding, there exists true love and not mere verbalization of memory. Things we remember, that which is confided to memory, soon is forgotten because memory is unfaithful. Students deposit in the warehouses of memory, ideals, theories and complete texts that are useless in practical life because in the end they disappear from memory without leaving a single trace. People who only read mechanically and enjoy storing many theories in the storerooms of memory, destroy the mind, they damage it pathetically. We do not pronounce ourselves against true, profound and conscious study based on in-depth comprehension. We only condemn antiquated methods of extemporaneous pedagogy, all mechanical systems of studying, all memorizing, etc. Remembering is superfluous where there exists true understanding. We need to study, we need useful books, teachers, spiritual guides, etc., but it is necessary to understand fully the teachings and not merely to store them in the storerooms of the unfaithful memory. We cannot be truly free as long as we commit the mistake of comparing ourselves with the stored recollections and ideals in our memory, and with what we covet to be or not to be. Tbc.. |

When we truly understand a teaching, we do not need to remember it nor convert it to an ideal. For as long there is comparison of what we are here and now, with what we want to be later on; as long as there is comparison of our practical life with an ideal or model to which we want to adapt, there cannot exist true love. All comparison is disgusting, brings fear, envy, pride; fear of not obtaining what we want, envy for other's progress, pride because we think ourselves superior to others. The important thing in practical life, whether we are ugly, envious, selfish, covetous, etc., is not to boast of being saints, but to start from absolute zero, and understand ourselves profoundly, the way we are and not the way we want to become or the way we would like to be. It is impossible to dissolve the Ego, the Myself, if we do not learn to observe ourselves, to perceive in order to understand what we really are here and now in an efficient and absolutely practical way. If we really want to understand we would listen to our teachers, and true spiritual guides. Young people of this generation have lost the sense of respect, of veneration towards their parents, teachers, and true spiritual guides. It is impossible to understand teachings when we do not know how to venerate and respect our parents, teachers, or spiritual guides. The simple mechanical remembering of what we have learnt by heart without indepth understanding mutilates the mind and heart, brings about envy, fear, pride, etc. When we truly know how to listen in a profound and conscious way, within us emerges a wonderful power, an extraordinary, natural and simple understanding, free from all mechanical processes, all reasoning and remembrances. If the brain of a student is relieved from the enormous effort of memory it has to exert, it would be totally possible to teach the structure of the nucleus and the periodic table of elements to secondary students and enable high school students to understand relativity and quantum physics. As we have talked to some teachers of secondary schools, we understand that they stick with true fanaticism to the old, antiquated and extemporaneous pedagogy. Tbc.. |

They want students to learn everything by heart even though they do not understand it. Sometimes they accept that it is better to understand than to memorize but they insist the formulae in physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., should be recorded in the memory. It is clear such a concept is false because when a formula of physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., is totally understood, not only at the intellectual level but also in other levels of the mind, unconscious, subconscious, infraconscious etc., it is not necessary to record it in the memory; as it forms part of our psyche and it can manifest itself as immediate instinctive knowledge when the circumstances of life demand it. This integral knowledge comes to give us a type of omniscience, a way of conscious, objective manifestation. In-depth understanding at all the levels of the mind is only possible through profound inner meditation. |

INTEGRATION One of the greatest longings in psychology is the attainment of total integration. If the EGO was one, the problem of psychological integration would be resolved with the greatest of ease, but unfortunately for the world, the EGO exists within each person in a pluralized form. The pluralized EGO is the fundamental cause of all our intimate contradictions. If we could see ourselves in a full length mirror the way we are psychologically with all our intimate contradictions, we would arrive at the painful conclusion that we still do not have true individuality. The human organism is a wonderful machine controlled by the pluralized EGO which is studied in depth by revolutionary psychology. I am going to read the newspaper, says an intellectual EGO; I want to go to a party, exclaims an emotional EGO; to hell with the party, grumbles an EGO of movement, it is better if I go for a walk; I don't want to go for a walk, shouts an EGO of conservation instinct, I am hungry and I am going to eat. Each of our small selves which constitute the EGO, wants to rule, wants to be the master. In the light of revolutionary psychology we can understand that the EGO is a legion and the human organism is a machine. The many Egos quarrel among themselves, they fight for supremacy, each one wanting to be the boss, the master. This explains the unfortunate state of psychological disintegration in which the poor intellectual animal mistakenly called man lives. It is necessary to understand what the word disintegration means in psychology. Disintegration is to ruin oneself, to disperse oneself, rend oneself useless, contradict oneself, etc. The principal cause of psychological disintegration is envy which sometimes manifests itself in exquisitely subtle and delicious ways. Envy is multifaceted and there are thousands of reasons to justify it. Envy is the secret spring of the whole social machinery. Dolts delight in justifying envy. tbc... |

A rich man envies the rich and wants to be richer. Poor people envy the rich and want to be rich too. He who writes envies people who write and wants to write better. He who has much experience envies the one who has more experience and desires to have more than him. People are not satisfied with bread, clothing and shelter. The secret spring of envy for someone else's car, house, suit, money, etc., produces desires of bettering oneself, acquiring more and more things, dresses, suits, virtues, so as not to be less than others, etc. The most tragic thing of all this is that the cumulative process of experiences, virtues, things, money, etc., strengthens the pluralized Ego, intensifying them the intimate contradictions, the horrifying wounds and cruel battles within us. All that is pain and cannot bring true joy to the grieving heart, all it produces is and increase of cruelty in our psyche, a multiplication of pain, discontent, each time more profound. The pluralized EGO always finds justifications even for the worst of crimes and to that process of envying, acquiring, accumulating, obtaining, even when it is at the expense of others work, is called evolution, progress, advancement, etc. People have their Conscience asleep and do not realize that they are envious, cruel, covetous and jealous and when for some reason they do realize all this, they justify themselves, they condemn and search for evasions but do not understand. Envy is difficult to discover due to the concrete fact that the human mind is envious. The structure of the mind is based on envy and acquisition. Envy begins at school desks. We envy the best intelligence of our classmates, the best grades, the best suits, the best dresses, best shoes, best bicycle, etc. The teachers who are called to mould the personality of pupils should understand what the infinite processes of envy are and establish within the psyche of their students an adequate foundation for understanding. The mind, envious by nature, only thinks in the function of more. I can explain better, I have more knowledge, I am more intelligent, I have more virtues, more sanctification, more perfections, more evolution, etc. All the functionalism of the mind are based on "more". The more is the intimate secret spring of envy. More is the comparative process of the mind. All comparative processes are abominable. For example: I am more intelligent than you, so and so is more virtuous than you, so and so is better that you, wiser, kinder, more beautiful, etc. Tbc... |

The more creates time. The PLURALIZED EGO, needs time to be better than the neighbor, to demonstrate to the family that he is very genial and can be someone in life, to show his enemies or those whom he envies that he is more intelligent, more powerful, stronger, etc. Comparative thinking is based on envy and produces that which is called discontent, uneasiness, bitterness. Unfortunately, people go from one opposite to another opposite, from one extreme to another. They do not know how to walk along the centre. Many struggle against discontent, envy, covetousness, jealousy, but the struggle against discontent never brings true joy to the heart. It is urgent to understand that the true joy of the tranquil heart is not bought or sold and that it is only born in us with absolute naturalness and in a spontaneous way when we have understood in depth the very causes of discontent, jealousy, envy, covetousness, etc. Those who want to obtain money, a magnificent social position, virtues, satisfactions of all types, etc., with the purpose of obtaining true contentment are totally mistaken because all of that is based on envy and the path of envy can never lead us to the harbour of a tranquil and contented heart. The mind imprisoned in the PLURALIZED EGO makes a virtue of envy and even gives itself the luxury of putting delicious name on it, such as, progress, evolution, the longing for improvement, the struggle for dignity, etc. All of this produces disintegration, intimate contradictions, secret struggles, problems with difficult solutions, etc. It is difficult to find in life someone who is truly integral in the most complete sense of the word. It is totally impossible to obtain total integration while the PLURALIZED EGO exists within us. It is urgent to understand that within each person exists three basic: factors First, Personality; Second, The Pluralized Ego; Third, The psychic material, that is, the very ESSENCE of the person. The PLURALIZED EGO clumsily wastes the psychological material in atomic explosions of envy, jealousy, greed, etc. It is necessary to dissolve the pluralized ego with the purpose of accumulating within the psychic material for establishing a permanent centre of Conscience in our interior. Tbc.. Whoever does not possess a permanent centre of Conscience cannot be integral. |

Whoever does not possess a permanent center of Conscience cannot be integral. Only a permanent center of Conscience gives us true individuality. Only a permanent Center of Conscience makes us integral. SIMPLICITY It is urgent and indispensable to develop creative understanding, because it brings true freedom of living to human beings. Without understanding it is impossible to obtain a real critical faculty of profound analysis. Teachers of schools, colleges and universities should lead their students along the path of self-critical understanding. In our last chapter we already broadly studied the processes of envy, whether they are religious, passionate, etc. We should have full consciousness of what envy really is because it is only by understanding in depth and in an intimate way the infinite processes of envy that we manage to do away with jealousies of all types. Jealousy destroys marriages, friendships and provokes religious wars, fratricidal hatreds, murders, and sufferings of all types. Envy with all of its infinite shades hides behind sublime purposes. There exists envy in he who having been informed about the existence of sublime saints, Mahatmas or Gurus, desires to also become a saint. There exists envy in the philanthropist that exerts himself to surpass other philanthropists. There exists envy in every individual that covets virtues because it was reported to him, because in his mind there is data on the existence of sacred individuals filled with virtues. The desire of being a saint, of being virtuous, has envy as its basis. The saints with their virtues have caused much harm. That brings to mind the case of a man who considered himself very holy. On a certain occasion, a starving and wretched poet knocked at his door to place in his hand a lovely verse especially dedicated to the saint of our story. The poet only awaited a coin with which to buy food for his exhausted and aged body. The poet imagined everything except an insult. Great was his surprise when the saint with a pitiful look and wrinkled brow closed the door telling the unfortunate poet: "Get out of here my friend, out, out... I do not like this things, I detest flattery... I do not like the vanities of this world; this life is an illusion... I follow the path of humility and modesty". The unfortunate poet who only desired a coin, instead received an insult from the saint, a word that hurt, a slap and with his heart in pain and the lyric in pieces he went through the streets of the city slowly... Slowly... Slowly... The new generation should rise on the basis of real understanding because this is totally creative. tbc... |

Memory and remembrance are not creative. Memory is the grave of the past. Memory and remembrance are death. True understanding is the psychological factor of total liberation. The remembrances of the memory can never bring us true liberation because they belong to the past and therefore, they are dead. Understanding is not a thing of the past nor of the future. Understanding belongs to the moment in which we are living here and now. Memory always brings an idea of the future. It is urgent to study science, philosophy, art and religion but studies should not be trusted to the fidelity of memory because memory is not faithful. It is absurd to store knowledge in the grave of memory. It is silly to bury in the grave of the past the skills that we should understand. We can never pronounce ourselves against studying, wisdom or science, however, it is absurd to store the living jewels of knowledge in the rotted grave of memory. It is necessary to study, investigate and analyze, but we should meditate profoundly in order to understand at all the levels of the mind. A truly simple man is profoundly understandable and he has a simple mind. The important thing in life is not what we have accumulated in the grave of our memory, but what we have understood not only on the intellectual level but also in the different unconscious, subconscious areas of the mind. Science and knowledge should be converted into immediate understanding. When knowledge and studies, have been transformed into real creative understanding, then we can understand all things immediately because understanding becomes immediate, instantaneous. Complications do not exist in the mind of a simple man because all complications of the mind are due to the memory. The cunning ego that we carry within is accumulated memory. The experiences of life should be transformed into true understanding. When experiences are not transformed into understanding, when experiences continue in the memory, they constitute the putrefaction of the grave over which burns the luciferic and fatuous flame of the animal intellect. It is necessary to know that the animal intellect totally deprived of all spirituality is merely the verbalization of memory, a sepulchral light burning over a funeral slab. Tbc... |

A simple man has his mind free of experiences because these have become Conscience; they have been transformed into creative understanding. Death and life are found intimately associated. Only by the seed dying will the plant sprout, only by experiencing death will understanding be born. This is a process of real transformation. A complicated man has his memory full of experiences. This shows a lack of creative understanding because when experiences are entirely understood in all levels of the mind, they cease to exist as experiences and are born as understanding. It is necessary to experience first of all, but we should not remain in the field of experiences because then the mind complicates itself and becomes difficult. It is necessary to live life intensely and to transform all experiences into real creative understanding. Those who mistakenly assume that to be understanding, simple and plain means to abandon the world, become beggars, live in isolated huts and use loincloths instead of elegant suits are totally mistaken. Many hermits, many beggars have very complicated difficult minds. It is useless to withdraw from the world and live as hermits if the memory is full of experiences that condition the free flow of thoughts. It is useless to live as hermits, wanting to lead the life of saints, if memory is stuffed with information that has not been duly understood or made conscious in the distinct nooks, corridors and unconscious regions of the mind. Whoever transforms intellectual information into true creative understanding and whoever transforms the experiences of life into true in-depth understanding, has nothing in the memory, he lives from moment to moment filled with true fullness. He has become simple and plain even though he might live in luxurious residences inside the perimeter of urban life. [Children under six years of age are full of simplicity and true interior beauty due only to the living Essence of life expressing itself through them in total absence of the psychological ego. We should reconquer our lost infancy in our heart and in our mind. We should reconquer innocence if we really want to be happy. Experiences and studying transformed into in-depth understanding do not leave a residue in the grave of memory, but allows us to become plain, simple, innocent, happy. tbc.. |
