O CAIBALION, cap. 7 - O TODO em tudo - Lúcia Helena Galvão

Good evening to all. Welcome to our Kybalion book. Some people have watched lectures, sometimes taking the third, fourth, natural, and do not know that the book we are addressing is a book written in 1908, of anonymous authorship, based on the Hermetic tradition. It is not directly the Hermetic tradition. We are working on it. Excuse me, can I borrow your book for a minute? It is this book, and it is a book that is a commentary, thank you very much, very happy with the Hermetic Laws. I always make a point of repeating this little piece at

the beginning. The idea is to comment and explain, as far as possible, the seven laws of Hermes Trismegistus. Remembering that Hermes Trismegistus is a wise Egyptian, who would have lived something around, I don't know, 1500 BC to 2600 BC. It's easy to say, but it's a very high margin of error. It is not so high if you consider that there are people who think that it did not even exist. So, the historical controversy about this subject is very big. It is known that someone, a man or several men, in a school called Hermetics, in ancient

Egypt, had this knowledge, believed that the universe is entirely governed by laws, in all its plans of manifestation, from the most subtle to the most concrete, and that the main laws are seven. And that knowing these seven laws, we can see them working and enter into harmony with them. Because the great problem of humanity is to go against nature. We are constantly causing collisions. Because instead of walking side by side with nature, we are always fighting it. We don't understand its purpose and sometimes, and by the way, I would have to say that most of

the time, we think it has no purpose at all. That we are the smart, intelligent and rational ones. Nature is silly, chaotic and random and doesn't know what it does. And this absurd belief that we feed on these days, causes us to be permanently in shock. With human nature, including. Not just with external nature in general. Including with human nature. In their ages, in their roles, in their sexes, in their lives. In their nationalities, in their religions. In other words, we don't enter into harmony even with human nature. And that's exactly because we think there

is chaos. And the only thinkers here are us. And this is one of the absurd beliefs of a materialistic cycle. Which makes us constantly causing these collisions. So the fundamental of Hermes Trismegistus' teaching, in fact, it is very difficult to say what was fundamental. What was left over? Basically, the universe is organized according to seven great laws. This book from 1908, then, proposes to explain them. Because what was left over from the Hermetic tradition is very little. And as the name itself says, very hermetic. And we couldn't understand very well. So this person who wrote,

or these people, and we will never know exactly who it was, we only have hypotheses, had a very good knowledge of the cause. Because he writes a very coherent book. One of the things that is interesting when someone asks you, how am I going to know if it's good if I don't even know who the author is? If you knew who the author is, you would still not know if it's good. There is only one thing that attests that a work is good. Your discernment, your common sense. Read and conclude. And increasingly, sharpen and sharpen

your tools of discernment and common sense. So that you can have this perception. Knowing or not who the author is. Because a simple name would not give you any security. What gives you security is your discernment. So I find it very curious, within the movement we work, which is the New Acropolis, throughout the world, sometimes a person reads a book, I don't know, in the New Acropolis of Turkey, in the New Acropolis of the United States, and says, this is good. And this opinion is very reliable. Because it is the opinion of a person who

reflects, who is used to analyzing the things that pass through your hand, according to a own criterion. I particularly never saw any of these palpites fail. They are very reliable. Now, nowadays, many times people say it's good because they heard someone say it's good, or because they didn't work on doing a proper analysis, they just cloned the fashion. And sometimes you follow recommendations that are very frustrating afterwards. Because it is very comfortable to run the software life, and not create a proper discernment of things. Who guarantees me that this book is good? No one. Only

you, your discernment and your common sense. There is no name on the cover that will guarantee you that something is good. Or someone's recommendation. Your discernment and your common sense. Nothing or no one will replace that. So, what we are talking about in this book, today we are entering chapter 7. Remember that every time I put this little verse, now already identified, from an English poet named Edward Carpenter, which is part, is a section of a very large and very interesting poem. And this poem is quoted, in the introduction of the book, and I always

repeat it, even to give a tone to the reading that we are going to do. It is because it synthesizes very well the spirit of this book. Which is to transmit knowledge to the next generations. Not to let it be lost. If in 1908 it was already rare for someone to know what Hermes Trismegistus said, today I think no one would understand anything else. Because as we get more extensive in knowledge, we are getting more shallow too. And with a lot of difficulty in interpreting anything symbolic. I admired myself a lot, for example, not criticizing,

that is not the intention, but I found it interesting for people to be sincere in telling me that, for example, the prophet of Kalim Gibran, which is a book enormously simpler than this, many times they had already read and had not understood. Because we have the habit, today, of a very superficial literature from a symbolic point of view. A fast food literature. That does not give us the work to reflect. So we get unaccustomed. Unaccustomed, sometimes, is a rationalism. Mathematical, scientific, technical. But the symbolic view is very rare in our historical moment. So this poem

will say, Do not let the flame be extinguished, kept from century to century, in this dark cave, in this sacred temple, supported by pure ministers of love. Do not let this divine flame be extinguished. In a poetic way, what these five verses are saying, this strophe, Do not let knowledge be lost. Do not let the voice that knowledge is lost. Have a commitment to future generations, as if they were your children, who in fact are. Think of those Egyptian pyramids, today we know very well about it, which were built by generations of workers. And the

first generations had no hope of seeing that work completed. They built for the future. For faces they would not see. To leave a testimony of grace, of the greatness of their dreams, for people they would not know. And this is a curious thing to think, that someone has thought in this way, in terms of commitment to future humanity. Because sometimes we do not commit to even the present humanity, that will say with the future. And think that there was already a moment, where people felt responsible, for passing this staff to the next generation. The idea

of ​​this poem, Do not let the flame be extinguished, in this sacred temple that is the manifested universe. Do not let what has already been gathered of knowledge be lost, because otherwise the suffering is too great to start again from scratch. Rediscover the fire, reinvent the wheel, the suffering is too great. Pass on what humanity has already gathered from the most sacred, in practical knowledge of life, in vertical knowledge of the heart of things, and of your own heart. That's the idea. The book, I've already shown it to you, is this one. And its full

name is The Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece. Recalling that not only Ancient Egypt and Greece, but also Middle Ages, alchemists. In fact, this text, it resurfaces, the original, which is the Corpus Hermeticum, the Emerald Tablet, the Minerva Mundi, resurface for public knowledge in Middle Ages. They were widely used by alchemists. Then it will once again receive an impulse in the Renaissance, with the Latin translation by Marsilio Ficino, then it disappears again, and comes gradually being recovered. It has a great impulse with the publication of this book in 1908. But people

come back to be interested in the Kybalion, now with a little more possibility of understanding it. So we have a debt with whoever wrote this book. And today we are addressing chapter 7. Remember, it's a study group. So our intention is to see all the chapters of the book. Do not worry about those who are coming now, because they are being filmed, they will be released on YouTube. In fact, today the first chapter has already been released. For those who missed it, it is already on our channel, from Nova Acrópole on YouTube, the first chapter.

Which is an introduction and chapter 1, very interesting to understand the context of the book. And today the chapter will deal with the whole in everything. For those who have already come to other lectures, no longer scare with the titles of the Kybalion, because they are all like that. In such a way that you look and have no idea of what comes next. The whole in everything will once again deal with a characteristic of the Creator and the manifestation. How the Creator is in the manifestation. And how the manifestation does not exhaust the Creator. In

such a way that the manifestation is part of this Creator, but it is not the whole, there is a lot beyond it. Anyway, he will pass an idea, difficult to explain in a few words, of what is the relationship between the Creator and the manifestation. The boldness of the Kybalion, who comes to the point of wanting to explain, at least, and give some explanations, the limit of what gives us, of what would be the Creator of the manifested Universe. But there is also a certain limit that he says, from then on, do not ask anymore,

because it does not work. Even Ernest Remigius knew the answer to some questions. So what you can know is that. And today he will put a limit, will give exactly this break. He will say, from then on, do not ask anymore. From then on, do not ask anymore, because there is no answer. So what can you know about the Creator of the Universe? He will put this section, which is the original Kybalion, remember this detail, is the original text, that is, the Emerald Tablet, the Corpus Hermeticum, basically, which says the following, while everything is in

the whole, it is also true that the whole is in everything. The one who really understands this truth, has gained great knowledge. Did anyone understand? Has anyone gained great knowledge? For this little part there, it's relatively complicated. Hermetic, as it could not be. And he will be willing to explain a little this. What is the whole being in the whole? We talked a little about it already, when we saw the chapter of Mentalism, remember? The whole is mind, the universe is mental. So the manifested universe, at all levels, not only in physical matter, physical matter,

energy, emotions, mental plane, spiritual plane, the whole manifested universe would be a thought within the mind of God. It would be part of the great mind, what the Indians call Mahat. So everything you imagine is inside the whole, inside the mind of the whole. Now, what is the opposite? The whole is in everything. What does that mean? He will say that this is the most complicated part to understand. Because it can give the impression that the manifested universe, if you add all the things that exist, you have God. And in fact, it is not quite

like that. You have aspects of God, but he is much bigger than that. The whole is much bigger than the sum of the parts. Speaking in a slightly clearer way, although your face is giving me the impression that it was nothing clearer, but come on. He uses an example that helps a lot. This example has a thousand and one usefulness. Very interesting. He says that creation is impregnated by the artist. It is an aspect of him, but it does not exhaust him. The example of Othello and Shakespeare. I gave this example to you myself. That

is, if you take Othello, Romeo, Hamlet, whoever you want, King Lear, aren't they all aspects of Shakespeare? Couldn't they be different because they all came out of him? It is obvious that they are aspects of Shakespeare. But if you take only Othello, he is not all Shakespeare. Othello could not even say, I am Shakespeare. That would be stupid. He is an aspect of Shakespeare. He does not exhaust Shakespeare. And if you add Othello with Romeo, with Macbeth, with Hamlet, with whoever you want, still Shakespeare is more. He had the whole universe that maybe he had

not manifested. Maybe he didn't have time to manifest. Because nobody has. Life is relatively fleeting. He is more than the sum of all his characters. His characters are aspects of his thinking. They are reflections. They are moments in which he reflected an aspect of human nature. But he is certainly more than the sum of his characters. That is, he is an Othello. But Othello is not like him. Do you understand that? He is much more than Othello. Keeping the right proportions, because we are talking about a limited mind of a human being, which is Shakespeare's

mind. And when it comes to the whole, you are talking about the total mind of the universe, the mind of God. Keeping the right proportions, creation is more or less like that. Each being is an aspect of the divine. That came to the universe to be revealed. Evolution is to shed light on the aspect of the divine that you came to represent in the world. You came to give a message to the world, to give a message. And this message is an aspect of the divine that you contain. This revelation, which is the conquest of

your identity, brings to light the aspect of the divine that you contain. But even if you were fully realized as a human being, you would not be identical to God. Unless at the moment when you expand and in fact become much more than a human being. Reach unity with the Creator himself. But this is a little distant. Slightly. For now, the fullness of beings does not go beyond an aspect of God. Just as the fullness of the Othello, does not go beyond an aspect of Shakespeare. And that's an interesting thing. Because these pieces, these pieces,

it's like we circulate through life looking for the essence of all things, including ours. Because this is a big puzzle. The union of the parts allows us the vision of increasingly attributes of the whole. More and more. But it's never whole in one part. Remember the Egyptian passage, of the myth of Isis, Osiris and Horus, which I would only give a lecture, because it is a complex myth. And besides that, we understand very little. But remember that Isis, in some versions, in others, Horus himself, who is the son, they go hunting the pieces of Osiris

scattered throughout the Nile River. Remember that? And when they hunt all the pieces of Osiris that had been shattered by his brother, they unite the father's body and breathe life into it. In other words, in a certain way, to pick up the pieces of the Osiris body scattered throughout the Nile River, is nothing more than what we do or should do for life outside. Which is to seek to see God in all things. When we see God in ourselves, we reveal a little more of our nature. We see the essence of any being, of anything,

of any event, we reveal a little of the intimate nature of this being. And we allow him to do what he wants. And we allow him to do what he wants. And we allow him to do what he wants. And we allow him to do what he wants. And we allow him to do what he came to do in the world, which is to give his message. The message that each being came to give to the world, from a stone to a galaxy nest, is the amount of God that is inside him, that he brings

to light. And allows through him other beings to see this aspect of the divine. That is, a being, remember Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor, a stoic philosopher. A being who dies without me knowing him, is an irreparable loss. Which is a mystery with which I have stopped breaking knowledge. That each being is like an ambassador, a diplomat, brings a little of this mystery so that it reveals itself through itself. It is a unique and unrepeatable channel. It is a part of the mystery that I have stopped breaking contact with. So this chapter will talk about

breaking, along with this complex idea of ​​the relationship between the Creator and the manifested Universe, a little of what evolution is. What, ultimately, is this? It is to shed light on this message that you came to give to the world, which is your own identity. What India called your internal name. We talked a little bit, we will talk later, chapter 9 is coming, which talks about the principle of vibration, which is one of the laws. The principle of vibration will deal directly with this question of the internal name. It is a little complicated question, but

nothing too much. In fact, Kaibário is all very simple, you are seeing. So this question that he puts and seems so obvious, it was not always so obvious. Because when this knowledge, remember that I always talk, Plato talked about it, I prefer to see absolute ignorance than knowledge in inadequate hands. When it started to come to light, through traditions, theologies, that there was a part of God within man, human vanity, human arrogance tended to think it was God whole that was inside him. Many times. And he will talk about it in this book. This statement

that sometimes is not done, but is thought. I am the owner of the truth, I have the truth, I know God, I am God. He says it's a tremendous arrogance. It's like if Othello shouted I am Shakespeare. Everyone would say Othello went crazy. Because in fact in the book he goes crazy. He went crazy in a different way. Because it's crazy. He is not Shakespeare. The stone is not God. All creation has an aspect of God. Man is not God. He has an aspect of God to be revealed. And everyone deserves respect exactly for that.

Remember I told you about that beautiful definition of Kant, that respect comes from respicere, look again, know how to see, know how to find the divine essence that is in everything, not just in you. People deserve respect for what they are. One of the greatest heresies, let's say, from the philosophical point of view, is utilitarianism. We think that things have value because they are useful to me. No, they have value for themselves. Because all of them reveal an aspect of the divine. They have value for themselves. And they would have even if I did not

exist. Remember that I have already commented this several times with you, that the story of the economy of water. It's good to talk about it, it's very fashionable. Knowing how to use it, it will not be missing. What a beautiful maxim, even rhymes, a little strophe. But it's a rhyme, but as Drummond said, it's not a solution. Because it's not true that you only have to use water well, because otherwise it will be missing for you. This is a selfish and utilitarian mentality. You have to use water well, because water deserves respect. Like anything deserves

respect. It is a manifested being who has as much right to be here as you. And not because otherwise it will be missing. Because if it is not you who gives value to things, this is an egocentrism that leads to selfishness and leads to destruction. It leads to the manipulation of things. It is our good pleasure. It is a predatory mentality. I've used it, I don't need it anymore. So I can destroy it. The human being does not give value to things because he uses them. Quite the opposite. In general, he manipulates and takes value

from things. Things have value in themselves. So this is an interesting element. He says, it is very common that this has happened in several traditions. That man is arrogant to find, because he discovered a molecule of God within himself that he is God. No, you are an aspect of the divine. For you to complete your puzzle, you would have to find this divine aspect in all other beings. In all the others. To assemble your puzzle, you would have to accept that all beings have within themselves a part of the piece of this enormous puzzle. That

is, the only being that was not integrated by you is a part of the body of Osiris that you will not find. That is, exclusion, prejudice, is a part of the mystery that you will not be able to compose. This is the idea, although extremely difficult. He will say, recognize, realize and manifest the spirit in us is equal to spiritual realization. That is, you have an internal name, you have a encrypted code. You have a world to bring this to the surface, to yourself, in front of your conscience and in front of the consciousness of

the beings around you. Because when you reveal yourself, everything around you wins. You add to the whole. You make a difference. So you came to reveal yourself in front of your own conscience and in front of the world. And as you do, the world completes itself a little more. An aspect of the divine that was composed. And that would be evolution. It is what the Kabbalistic tradition calls the Jacob's ladder. I will give you a little hint. It is a ladder with many steps, whose goal is the whole. As we put the pieces together, one

day we will have the complete puzzle. We have no idea of what is coming to be. It is much more than we can conceive. One day we will have the complete puzzle. Our conscience will expand so much that everything will be inside it. When everything is inside a conscience, this is the consciousness of the whole. Your consciousness is the whole, it becomes one. This is not a detail. This is a silly detail. Let me tell you something, I don't know if it is exciting or not. There is no silly detail in the Kybalion. None. This

is one of the risks. It is for the man to think that he is a drop of water that will dissolve in the ocean. You are not a drop of water that will dissolve in the ocean. If you think that way, you will not want to evolve, because no one wants to dissolve. Everyone wants to preserve their identity. It is a natural instinct. No one wants to dissolve. You are not a drop of water that will dissolve in the ocean. You are a drop of water that will expand until it becomes the size of the

ocean. You will not get lost. You will find more and more pieces of yourself. A bad interpretation of these Egyptian traditions, oriental traditions, ancient traditions in general, made man believe that evolution is extinction. This is terrible, because it generates a discouragement, a discouragement to evolution. Because there is a preservation instinct that no one wants to dissolve. It is not possible to dissolve. For nothing. So we will expand. And one day, the drop we are, will be the size of the ocean. And at that moment, I can say, I am God. In fact, I don't need

to say anything. What is, does not need affirmations. It is, simply. So, this is the question of evolution, which he will detail a little further. Evolution, remember what I tell you, has a very interesting word, development, which comes from the Spanish desarrollo. Unroll. It was the papyrus, which was rolled up, and inside there was a written message. You have to unroll to see what is written in your papyrus. Unroll the papyrus to see what was the teaching that was inside. Equivalent to develop your personality, to see what message it came to give to the world.

What is the role you came to fulfill? Unique and unrepeatable. The vacuum that you will leave in the universe, if you do not realize yourself as a human being. The entire universe hopes you say your word, give your message. As the Buddhist tradition says. More than a thousand meaningless words, one is worth, that brings comfort to those who hear it. Your identity is a word, that can bring comfort to many people. It is not all vocabulary, but it is a single word, a very important word, that has to be pronounced. Continuing, then comes this nomenclature,

which seems complicated, but it is not yours. So, be calm, calm, that is the question of effusion and infusion. Of involution and evolution. You are very expressive, your faces are terrible. With this hermetic nomenclature, everyone scares. But the idea is more or less simple. It is as follows. It was. The universe, when it manifests, it goes down to the densest matter, the most concrete matter you can imagine. This is the effusion of the divine. It is as if it had stopped to reflect on matter, had dived into matter. It compares an artist who is so

involved with his work that he does not remember anything else. As if the divine had been involved so much with his work that he had fallen asleep in matter. When he reaches the lowest point of the materialization of the universe, what happens? Starts to go back home. Starts what he calls evolution. Here we have involution, not in the negative sense of being evil, it is necessary. It has to go down to the most concrete matter and then starts to go back home. These two processes are part of the cycle of the universe. There is so

much more that we could say about it. There are beings here who work to help the consciousness of beings to enter matter. At this moment, the logic is to make the consciousness of beings to disidentify from matter. What was positive here becomes negative here. These are two moments of the universe. He says that the descent of the consciousness of beings to matter is produced together. Everyone has come down, it is the great fall. All beings have come down to matter. Now the rise is individual. The rise is made by awakening the individual consciousness of each

being. So he says that when the descent ends here in the densest matter, the matter starts to become more complex, more elaborate, and at a certain moment this matter will generate life. It generated life, Oba! It begins to organize itself in more and more complex forms and at a certain moment it reveals the mind. Great! The mind was revealed. Then it continues to work, this mind is evidenced. Cool! The mind was evidenced. It began to govern the process. There are many different things for the mind to manifest and the mind to show. Everyone has the

mind, but who is guided by it? Many people are guided by instincts, that is, the mind has not yet been evidenced. When the mind is evidenced, it begins to awaken and build an individual consciousness more and more. This individual consciousness will make this man at a certain moment go to the spiritual level. And from this spiritual level he has the propulsion to go back to home, to the whole. That is, reabsorption in the spiritual. So we are already in this arc of ascension. We are already evolving individually. The mind has already manifested. Evidenciar is already

a little more complicated. But manifesting it has already manifested. Consciousness is or should be in construction. At a certain moment this consciousness in construction, this individuality is a trampoline for a very cramped spirituality. And this very cramped spirituality will take the doors of God. And that's what the Kabbalistic tradition said. We will reach the Father's house with arms full of fruit. This consciousness that we gather along the way. And this, very simplified, would be the process of evolution. You go down together, go up individually. But, despite going up individually, do not confuse individuality. It is

not synonymous with individualism or egoism. Individuality deepens when you have a more responsible thought about the whole. If you are not walking towards the whole, you have to think as the whole. Although you have an individual identity, you have to think as the whole. More and more fraternity. If you have an individual identity, but at the same time falls into the trap of egoism, then it does not rise. It is one of the dangers of individuality, to become individualism and egoism. For the whole, it is more and more fraternity. And this locks the way up.

And this is exactly the drama we are living. We do not have much individuality. That is, a deep identity of who we are. But individualism and egoism, many, many, all the time. It's curious, people. Once I told you in a lecture, I do not know if you remember, by the way, you are good at finding things on the internet better than me. I say something and people come to me and say, I found it! Once I watched a program like this, of animal life, I do not know what it was, one of those programs that

passes channel, channel networks, cable. And they did a sensational thing. They took animals, in situations of the lives of animals, and put pictures on the side, showing human beings doing exactly the same thing. And they did it. To show how much we are governed by instinct, because the mind enslaved by egoism, it is purely instinctive. It was very funny. They showed a peacock passing in front of the females. With that open tail, parading. Then a boy changed the scene, knocking on the door of an imported car and parading in front of the kittens. The kittens,

aaaaaaah! And the wigs, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub. That was the maximum! It was the maximum! Then a dog shot, the alpha male, the others all in a corner. Then a citizen entering the work, and the boss, blub, blub, blub, blub. The same thing! And scenes of selfishness, scenes of wanting to pass the leg to the other to get the bone just for himself. Then the citizen in traffic, closing the other to pass in front. It was something like that, you would say, my God, what is left of a human being, this is the observation.

Look at your dogs and cats, if you have, people will notice, I do that too, I do that too, jealous, competitive between themselves, you give affection to one, the other bites the other. That confusion, one wanting to pass in front of the other, wanting to give food just for himself. I do that too, but in subtle plans, but I do it too. Taking all that out, what is left of a human being? That's it, but that's me. This kind of observation is interesting. So we are with an individuality in construction, but it is already the

transcendent arc of the universe. Construction of our mind, higher, more pure, and of our spirituality. This would be then the development of the universe and the return home. This great, what Helena Blavatsky called dynamic eternity. The whole universe trying to return home, to return to unity. A mental state, the same language, in fact, a message of we need to go back home, we need to go back to unity. This echoes through the four corners of the universe, according to what she said. I don't know the language that the beings of the universe speak, but I

know what they are saying. We need to go back home, we need to go back to unity. I miss myself, I miss my father, I miss home. Plato said that the feeling of beauty, when you look at something legitimately beautiful, you miss home. Because you remember that you were in a place where everything was like that. You don't want truly beautiful things. You see through them and miss yourself. As if you had a reminiscence of what you already had in the world where everything was aesthetic, where everything was beauty. That's why beauty helps so much

in the process of growth of the human conscience. To live with it. Plato is very rigorous in this observation. To live with the need, to live with beauty and harmony. The whole awakens and manifests itself. Life generates more elevated forms and the mind is evidenced. Vibrations rise. The individual spirit expands until it coincides with the whole. Remember that going up the ladder, the mind is evidenced, and the vibrations rise. Chapter 9 comes around that talks about the principle of vibration. We already had, back there, in chapter 3, a general discussion, where we told you that

our deepest identity is where our conscience is vibrating. And we will have to pull this vibration higher. Evolution is nothing more than the purification of taste. Like to reflect on big things, true things. I like that phrase from Confucius too much, I've told you a thousand times. The vulgar man speaks of people. The common man speaks of things. The noble man speaks of ideas. Interest in ideas. What is the meaning of life? What is life itself? What is death? What is consciousness? What is time? How do things go this way? What is real in my

feeling of love? What is true love? What is a mere lack, a mere attachment, a mere habit? What is real behind my feelings? What is a feeling? It is a very human level of curiosity. This differentiates us from the universe. No matter how much an animal is very evolved, it will be that super smart little dog that will be able to do everything. You will not see him standing with his chin on his paw, thinking about what love is. And if he really loves you, it is just the desire of a beef. He will not

enter this area, this is very subtle. This is human. This is our class. This is our world. Then we justify ourselves as human beings. Not only seek, but start behaving in a coherent way with what you found. So I have very little love, but I have more. Let me see what love is. Why am I not understanding love well? Why do my feelings pass so quickly? They are not feelings. It must be a child who gets sick of the toy. It is very similar to a child who gets sick of the toy. Winning Christmas before

the New Year, she already got sick. If they were real feelings, they would not pass so quickly. What do I have of real feelings? How do I cultivate this? Who am I? How do I find myself within myself? This curiosity, this human need makes our vibrations rise. Our human identity will be affirming and purifying. And like the things that pull you there. That's very interesting. No one has to force you to like good music. You know what music pulls your consciousness there. No one has to force you to like good reading. You know what reading

pulls your consciousness to this point. Start developing discernment. Do you understand what I said at the beginning? People ask me how do I trust this book, how do I trust my work? If you don't have discernment to know what is good, what purifies your consciousness, what elevates you, who will guarantee you that something is good? See what kind of vibration things generate in you. Where do they take your consciousness? Through your works I will know you. Obviously good things pull you up. If not, no. And it doesn't matter if it's in fashion. If not, no.

And have the courage to assume this in front of your own consciousness. Have the courage to assume this in front of your own consciousness. There is a passage by Roger Scruton that is that living philosopher, very interesting, who has a very beautiful thought, he says that man is not obliged to live entirely in the time he is. He can enter through the time frame and choose all the good things of all times and create his own world. He can't just do it as he should. He creates this prototype of everything that has already been better,

of the future, because how is something going to exist in the future if it is not thought in the present? Everything is born in the mental plane. This intelligent selection of the best things that man produced, that will generate a model of what the world will be in the future. If no one does this, there is no world in the future. We are responsible for this. We are responsible for this. Continuing. The cycle is like a blink of an eye for the whole. It looks like an eternity. If I were to tell you about the

Brahma calendar of Asura Maya, you would fall on your back, because the Hindus reach the level of the requinte. Of course, that is more symbolic than probably concrete. But they reach the level of giving a figure to the manifested universe, which is the Brahma calendar of Asura Maya. It's like, wow! For the whole, it's a blink of an eye. Just as we know that there are microorganisms that live in our skin, in our body, that live, I don't know, minutes, seconds. For them it is time-abundant. That is, this issue of greatness both in space and

in time is a very relative thing. It depends on the level of consciousness of the being who is living this reality. The universe does not know where the big ends and where the small begins. So it says that for creation, the manifested universe is a blink of an eye. It is a cycle of life of Brahman. It is the manifestation of Brahman in the Indian tradition. And it takes us away more and more from matter to the spirit. Remember what I told you, this is real time, this is the dimension of the Greek chronos. You

are getting away more and more from matter to the spirit. It doesn't mean that you have to stop acting in matter. It means that you will see matter from the point of view of the spirit. With much more maturity, much more responsibility, much more affection for it. Because it no longer looks at things as a manipulator, it looks at the beings. So it has much more respect for material things, the spiritual man, than the materialist man. It does not stop living in the world because this is a necessity. As Fernando Pessoa said, navigating is necessary.

We do not stop being in the manifested world. However, we do not believe that the manifested world is absolute. It is our only goal. And when we know what it is, we know how to treat it properly. We do not know how to treat a doctor. There is a patient with such and such, he will ask what age he is, where he lives, how he is. He has to know who he is treating to be able to give the right medicine. We also do not know how to treat things in the world without knowing what

they are. When we think they are very real and absolute, we distort the treatment we give them. Either extremely displeasing or extremely attached. We do not find the right way. Including the people we love. Or too hard, too manipulative. We do not find the right way of love that educates, that makes us grow. Because we do not know what beings are. So the spiritual man is not displeasing with matter. But one thing you will say is that it is obvious. It is not obvious. We have already made this mistake many times in history. I already

told you that we had a very recent time in history, in a very well-intentioned movement, which was the hippie movement. But they believed in it. That a spiritual man despises the body, despises matter, despises everything. This is crazy. Because we are not in the world by chance. We are because he has something to teach us. And we would have to treat him in the best possible way to discover his mystery. And the spiritual man knows how to give to each thing what corresponds to him, which is the concept of Platonic justice. So, it's growing? It's

getting deeper. It has a vision of the essence of itself and through your essence is able to see the essence of things. Superficial does not see the essence of other things. It is a matter of parallelism. If you are superficial in relation to yourself, you will be superficial in relation to everything in the universe. Ah, but it can be a person who has deep knowledge, I don't know, of physics, astronomy, knows how things behave, but not what they are. The mystery of things passes first through your own mystery. Remember that phrase that seems to have

no foot or head, but has as much foot as head. Which says, the more inside, the more outside. Remember? Know thyself and you will know the universe and the gods. Says the Temple of Delphi. Reason of manifestation. This is the forbidden question. What I find funny is that there doesn't need to be any disciple of Hermes Trismegistus. Everyone asks this question. The human being has a habit of wanting to jump. He doesn't even know what he's doing in the world, but he wants to know why the cosmos manifested. What God wanted with the universe. How

many times, I have 28 years of school and 26 years of teaching, how many times have I heard this question and I have no idea. But wasn't everything so good in the whole, in the spirit? Why did he decide to manifest the universe and then go back home again? Because he didn't stay there. This fundamental question is why does the universe manifest? That's what he's going to say. If you ask Hermes Trismegistus, he wouldn't say. He would close his lips and not answer anything. Because it's an extreme mystery. You can make speculations. But very flawed

speculations. He will say, well, probably, as well as there is the principle of correspondence that says as below, above. As the man has a impulse of creation and he is a manifestation of the divine, the divine must have a impulse of creation. This must be of his nature. As the evolution of man is the expansion of consciousness, the manifestation of the universe must have something to do with it too. It must be expansion of consciousness. The universe must manifest to know more and more of all the plans of nature. And then collect all this knowledge

in itself in the form of memory. We talked about this in a previous lecture. That is, some very mysterious reason has. Remember what I told you? That the universe, to be able to have consciousness, needs contrast. Consciousness is born in contrast. In the contrast between two planes you are aware of both. Between black and white, between blue and red, between sound and silence, between soft and resistant. If the whole universe were soft, no one was aware of that. In duality, consciousness is produced. So maybe the universe has manifested itself to, in duality, increasingly acquire higher

degrees of consciousness and collect all this to home. Take all this to the Father's house. But it is very difficult to imagine exactly what it is. What he says is beware of the excess of pretension. Nature does not give jumps. First, I know what you are. Knowing what you are, there may be some projections that can give you some clues. At this moment, it is very bold a question of this type. Helena Blavatsky says that imagine that the sun, for example, has a spirit, that is, a being in evolution. Not even this being would know

what is the reason for the manifestation. It is not because he does not want to tell you. It is because he does not know. This book does not even talk about the solar spirit, but speaks of Hermes Trismegistus himself. He did not know. This is a somewhat mysterious question. But it's funny how we get to it quickly. Before asking what I came to do in the world, people ask why God created the world. Have you ever seen how funny this is? Because sometimes you see people commenting what will happen to me after death? Will I

find my loved ones? Will I preserve my identity? That is, as if you were thinking did God worry about doing everything I had to do after I died? Because you do not know what to do tomorrow morning. But you are worried if God did his homework. And we have a lot of that. The tendency is to jump. Almost a kind of anxiety of wanting to solve the problem very quickly. Nature does not jump. At this moment we have to know what we are. And what part of the divine we are going to reveal to the

world. What is our essence? And finally, today is a short chapter, he will say neither Hermes would answer that. And he says he didn't answer. That is, if he didn't answer, it's a sign that someone was asking. So this is a consolation for us. It seems that there were curious people at that time too. Someone asked. What he said is that a little of this essence is in all levels of the universe. That is, a little of this essence goes down to matter, goes down to the energetic plane, goes down to the emotional plane, goes

down to the mental plane. It stays a little in each of these levels. You want to know what it is? Go up! It's like that story of Hansel and Gretel, who finds the freckles. It goes up and you find pieces, the freckles. One day you will compose all this reality. This is very interesting, as I told you at the beginning. Nothing is so simple. Nothing is simple when it comes to this example of the freckles and Hansel and Gretel. It is very interesting. If you consider the absolute of love, for example, who should have is

only the whole. The absolute of justice, because we are relative, as if we had something absolute. The absolute of goodness, only who should have is the whole. But it happens that these elements need to go down to the world, need to manifest themselves in all planes. How are they going to go down to the world? Imagine love radiates from above, hits down here, there is no place to fix, goes up again. He needs something down here to embody love at its level. So that he stays down here, a piece of love. At all levels. So

you need someone to fix down here a little of justice, so that she stays down here. Otherwise she goes up again. And this world becomes stereo. So each being at the level in which it is has the responsibility of embodying a piece of love, a piece of will, a piece of justice, a piece of goodness, so that she stays in this plane. So that she has a seat in this plane. It's like electricity needs a resistance there. To hold electricity at that point. Otherwise it returns all to its origin. It needs something that decodes those

attributes in that plane. And in all planes it is like that. And at our human level we are needing a lot of self-control. So that we have a lot of beings that hold a piece of love, a piece of justice, a piece of goodness. So that they are present in this plane. So that they don't have only a beautiful and poetic idea, but very little present in our manifested reality. Even the stones, at some level, they have love. Which is responsible for cohesion. At some level they have justice, which is responsible for molecular distribution within

them. So a diamond would be a being with a lot of love and justice. A perfect molecular distribution, a cohesion that makes him a harder mineral than there is, capable of cutting glass. And this made him evolve so much, somehow he held these attributes at his level. He did his part. At some level there are plants doing this. And holding it at the plant level. There are animals holding it at the plant level. It is man's own to hold these things at the level of man. So that they do not dissipate. So that they are

present in the world. These energies radiate the effusion. And they need to be held here to help us to rise. Otherwise we lose everything and we become sterile in an empty world. So the decoding of divine attributes in our plan is part of our homework. And these are the tools that will help us to rise. Well, this is our story today. Today was fast and so simple. You are with great faces. Any doubts about this? What I like is this. You understand everything. You don't ask anything. No? No doubt? I hope, in fact I have

firm conviction that those who are coming are reading. Because it doesn't fix much if you don't read. You have to come with doubts, you have to come with questions. I spent some time watching my lecture on study techniques, which is on YouTube. You see that even to study you have to do this. Before reading the book, ask the author questions. Transform the title of the book, what is written in the ear of the book, transform it into doubts, into questions. And answer yourself these questions. And compare later with what the author says. You have to

enter the book with questions. Otherwise you become passive. The book becomes a monologue. And you don't fix anything. If you enter with questions, as he answers, you compare with your answers, and this fixes. And in our reading group, this is the learning process. When he is passive, he fixes very little. You enter here with questions, with doubts, with concerns. Is that really it? But there is such a thing that I thought he didn't say. And such a thing, and such a thing, and such a thing. And then? Maybe I know, maybe I don't know. It

is very likely that I don't know, but at least we reflect about it. You have no idea how many examples of mine were born I went home with that, I reflected, and came back the next week with something. Not much, but what I found. Kybalion does not say anything about it. He is very synthetic. He does not speak of a physical place. He speaks of a vibratory place. In other words, he will say that there will be life at a level of consciousness much higher than today. He says that there will be a moment when

the whole humanity will be practically wise. Imagine that. He does not speak of a physical place. He does not say where this will happen. There will be some place, there will be a stage in time and space. The consciousness of beings will have to pass through there. So for them the most important thing is what we will be. Where and when, not so much. Nature has patience. And it has time. The whole universe is there. Certainly. But we also have to think how much we are still, today much better, but we are still limited to

interpret what life is. Today we are beginning to include other things a little more flexible. We have a broader concept. Today we know, for example, of certain microorganisms that have sulfuric acid in their cellular conception. Today we know, for example, have you ever heard of that jellyfish? Turritopsis Nutricula. When it is attacked, it is a microscopic thing. When it is attacked by some predator, it goes back to the embryonic stage and develops again. That is, it is practically immortal. If you said something like that 50 years ago, science has been advancing quickly, it would be

considered impossible for life to have these possibilities. So you say, a planet has no life the way I understand life today. No. But I don't know what's there. I don't know. The possibilities of life are a mystery. We don't even know what it is. But it represents. Today we already have a much more bold vision than life. So, obviously, wherever a being is, it will evolve, it will complete its cycle. Now, it's very difficult for us to say there is no life or there is life. Life is a mystery. Even you will see that oriental

traditions consider that inorganic matter is also in evolution. Life is not based only on a cellular model. They consider, for example, that a planet is in evolution, a stone is in evolution. So, their concept of evolution goes beyond the concept of organic life. But is it because of the consciousness? No. The periodic table does not evolve all from hydrogen? No, yes. The plants, the stones? The evolution... Actually, the mind is part of the path, but it is not even the end. There are other forms of knowledge later, that you will see that are developed, such

as intuition. If you said that to evolve we have to go through the third year of high school, we have, but it is not only the third year of high school. Consciousness also evolves within the emotional plane, for example, an animal, a pointed animal. In fact, all animals at their level have a degree of consciousness. And react to stimuli and are evolving. That is, the evolution of consciousness is not so directly linked to the mind as you imagine. It goes through several vehicles. In the middle of the way, through the mind. But it goes through

vehicles before and will go through vehicles later. Or it already happened. I do not know. I do not know. And I also do not know if all of them obey this scheme just like ours. It is very complicated for us to make judgments of this nature. You can speak. No, in fact, I do not remember if Hermes uses this term. What I remember of Hermes Trismegistus, of the hermetic body, of the... I was dizzy. I do not remember him using the word father. Now you will see that it is very common that various traditions call

the spirit of father and the matter of mother. It is the primordial duality. This is very common. The great father and the great mother. And the spirit that falls on the waters. Great father and great mother as spirit and matter. This is very common. It is the primordial duality. Now the Creator, the One, is above these two. He is a fusion of the two. His feelings are... I tell you, He is a fusion of the two. In this dream, He becomes the creator So a great power He is in this dream GC- There is also

another And Let's go to a house Where Jesus Governed That is where the Father dec基本at
