We go through life without becomming aware that , in the functions of our life plan, we act completely wrong and blindly. We constantly violate the rules and laws which govern our actions in this world.

We don’t do this knowingly, but unconsciously. Thus we do damage to others; we take things without paying the fair value for them; we persue ends which become our desires (lives), converting us into machines; we chase our pleasures, convinced we are acting properly; we enter into conflicts and counterdictions which take us to repeat the same errors over and over again. All of these things, and many more, keep us in constant repetative wrong actions and hold back our true spiritual unfoldment. The whole time we think we are doing the right thing. We think that because others are doing the same things, we should also. But these are the actions of slaves, causing untold damage to ourselves and the world by repeating the same errors over and over without end.

This manner of acting is so ingraned in us that we consider them as normal. Well, arn’t these things taught to us by our parents, teachers, institutions, and by our friends and family members? Much of what we accept and learn as normal has caused us to view life in a manner completely different then intended by our Creator.

Man has separated himself from the virtues of this life, he no longer sees the purity and glory of our Creator Father. His senses have been seduced by his external pleasures and he has been induced to think he must judge all aspects of his life, causing errors in subjectivity and partiality. These have given man a body of habits which are false and harmful to him, and which rule his life.

Man should try to return to the life he left long ago, it being the only way he can come to learn his purpose in life and how to carry it out. These Principles can give him the tools he needs to perform the true work of his life, allowing him to act his way out of his darkness into the Light of Consciousness.

Man has also disassociated himself from his environment, nature and humanity, thinking himself an entity separated from things and the people with whom he shares his life. This dislocation causes much much hinderance in his evolution, none being possible if he does not share himself with his close human ties and environment.

This is why we (mankind) need tools to help us advance in our evolution, bringing us back to our intended path, becomming able to serve the Divine Plan and our own.

The study, and the placing into practice of these Principles will render much benefit to ourselves and humanity by helping us achieve our LIBERATION and creating the necessary space for ourselves and the people with whom we travel in this life.

These Principles represent hope and certainty for us; certainty to bring about the needed changes in our lives, putting us back on the path the Creator intended for us.

This course, made up of twelve Principles for the Liberation of Man, and has been adapted from a series of audio cassettes. We made changes only where we had to so as to not change the origional meaning and tone of the whole. Some places may read a little rough in places because of the conversational nature of the original presentation, but the meaning is intact.

Good morning, good morning, companion on the road of life, companion on the path... This message is to transmit to you one of the most important Principles that governs human behavior. With the help of this Principle you will be able to realize more light on your path. So be attentive; reflect on each word and phrase of this message; listen carefully to your inner voice as you meditate on it. Reflect on it again and again, until its contents becomes a part of you. Done this way it will become instinctive and automatic in your approach to life.

To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself. Let me repeat this again, if you go against the evolution of people, things, situations, happenings in the world, you are at the same time going against yourself. This principle is based on a Cosmic Law, the most important Law that governs the Universe. It is the Law that states that the Creator resides in all of His Creation. As the Creator has created everything that exists, He then is present in each particle, in each atom of his Creation. Everything is in everything - everything is in all things. This is why if you go against the evolution of things you are also going against yourself. Life is One and beats in all of the Cosmic Kingdoms; it beats in the animal and mineral kingdoms; it beats in planets, suns, water; in all that is. Wherever you look there is movement and movement is life, and life is evolving. Life itself is evolution. Life is One. It is the impulse you feel in your chest, in your heart. It is the same consciousness that beats in you, also in stones, animals, in the trees, and in other people. Life evolves from the imperfect to perfect forms, from the most dense to the most subtle, from the most material to the most spiritual; this is why if you stop the evolution of any particle of life, you will also be delaying the evolution of the same life that beats in you.

Now let's see how this Principle can be applied in the way of life we are living today? Reflect with me. If this principle says "to go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself ," it is also saying, in other words, "if you commit yourself to help other things to evolve according to their plan, then you yourself will evolve." That is, if you help other forms of life to evolve, won't you be helping the same particles of life that beat in you to evolve as well? Simple, isn't it ?

Very well my friend, let's see what obstacles we might find on the road so as to be able to put this principle to work for us. The most important one is that from the moment of our birth we start thinking that we are a separate entity, that I am only myself, Peter is Peter, and John is John; that I have nothing to do with the sun, the moon, water, fire, the eucalyptus tree, our dog - isn't this right? This has been the education we have received. It is not enough to understand the principle that we are one with everything else, that our life is part of the same life with that of the rest of humanity. It is necessary to feel it, to feel this understanding penetrate each of the cells that form your mind, your emotions, and your body. It is necessary that you remember this as you walk the several paths of life. The first obstacle to recognize is that we think we are separate entities, independent and individualized from the whole.

The next obstacle that we will encounter on the path is not holding firmly in our minds and spirit that everything is in evolution or involution. If I toss a rock upward it will go up, then fall back. In life, to ascend is called evolving, to descend is named involution. There cannot be anything static in the universe, nothing is inert, nothing is paralyzed; everything moves, vibrates, either forward or backwards, inbound or outbound. Everything evolves or involutes. My friend, let's concentrate and meditate on this. A seed evolves into a tree; a boy evolves into a man; a little puppy evolves into an adult dog, and so forth. Ideas and thoughts evolve also, so do feelings and situations. You get married today and you have evolution or involution in your life; your union can go into more advanced phases of life, or you can involute, or degrade into something worse. You can start an activity today such as a new job, and by dedicating yourself to it with good effort, rise in the evolution of your good effort; or you could involute by not caring or paying attention to your work. This is the daily struggle inside our small worlds.

We are made of basically three entities: mind, emotions and body. Consciously, no individual wants involution. If we were to be asked which of the two we wanted we would naturally choose evolution. We all want to be a better person, better workers, better professionals, better friends, better brothers, better children, better parents, to be rich, have creative ideas, isn't that right? Even though this desire to evolve is in our mind, our mind is weak. By the Law of Duality, our emotional instinct naturally opposes our mind. Our emotional instinct is a justifier, it has a sweet tooth, is lazy, holds back, runs away from effort, looks for the easy way, and tends to involute. Inside you, inside me, and inside all other people, there is a constant struggle between the side that wants to go forward and the other that wants to hold back or go backwards.

Our body is in the middle of that battle. The reaction produced by the friction between our minds and our emotions can cause weakness, sickness, destroy our organs and embitter our life because our body receives the results of the battle taking place inside of us between the two forces. Going back to the Principle: "To go against the evolution of things, is to go against yourself". This means that if you support the involution of something external to you, you will at the same time be strengthening the part in you that involutes. On the other hand, if you help, in your world or other forms, beings or persons to evolve, you will be supporting the part in you that wants to evolve. How can we make this happen? The people that have walked that path into evolution before you and me have asked themselves the same question. Those who have crossed the barrier and have evolved, step by step, season after season, left for us the following legacy of their experiences.

Before we continue, I would like to suggest to you that you follow the instructions in the first part of this message for seven days; that you meditate and reflect on them. This is the first part of their legacy to you, so practice and understand it thoroughly. It will provide you with the light of this Principle and is the reason why it is the first of the twelve that can give man his total liberation from life and the maximum evolution possible. Unless you follow this first instruction, coming from those who have walked this path ahead of us, it won't be worth continuing with the rest. So be conscious, my friend; be prudent, pull yourself out from the masses, don't be afraid of being different, take seriously this advise. Here the only purpose is to make a free person out of you.

The second instruction they have left us, after understanding the first part of this Principle, is to make an analysis of our own life. Get a sheet of paper and a pencil. Ask yourself the following question, write... "Can it be that unknowingly I am doing, saying or acting in a way that is contributing to the involution of my own life and that of the people around me?" I am not saying that you are doing so, but could it be? Remember, the part in us that involutes our life works very secretly, hidden from our consciousness. Since we don't realize it happens in this manner, we need to bring it out into the light. To start, write down the thoughts that come to your mind which hurt you. Ask yourself, what are the emotions you feel once in a while that involute you? Do your actions contribute to the evolution of your physical body? Is everything you do evaluative? Now, lets look at the situation with the people you live with: your mother, spouse, children, work-mates. Write them down too, one by one, and ask yourself the following questions: "Can it be that I am doing something that involutes or makes any of them go backward instead of forward?" Analyze your reactions thoroughly and write them down from the point of view of your thoughts, emotions and actions. Then, after doing this, you will "wake up" and understand more fully the identity of what is within us, what is also part of us, but under the Law of Equilibrium tends to involute us, and now wants to help us evolve.

After doing this analysis, you will discover many unknown things about this hidden part of yourself. But my friend, you must be true to yourself, sincere, impartial, as if you were doing this about somebody else. Now, after doing it once a day for seven days, each time as if it was the very first time, not forgetting to be prudent and sincere - this becomes the first part of your liberation from the involutive influences of the world.

The third instruction is as follows: Choose an hour of the day for your private use over the next 49 days. During this hour you must be away from all your activities and relations, where you can do this work of understanding the ways of evolution in action. As an example, you could go to a hospital and see a new born baby, see another born 1 day before and another born 5 days before. Notice how they evolve. Or you could plant a seed or a plant and watch it over the following 49 days, and you would see that if you watered it, it would evolve and grow. You could go to a laboratory and observe through a microscope the cells of life, watching how they evolve. Look, search, investigate until the idea is a living part of you; until every cell in your body can respond to the idea of evolution; until you really see that everything evolves. Then comes the second part. You must also see the involution that is in this world. Buildings are demolished to build better ones; students are flunked in school; husbands and wives get divorced; people die; employees are fired from their jobs; accidents and violence are all about you. All of these are examples of involution. All people and things involved in these situations are involuting. Then analyze your own life and notice how many times in the past you have wanted to go forward but you went backward instead. Notice how many times the involution within has held you back, and you did not finding the strength to advance. How many ideas have you had in your mind to do "evolutionary" things but did not follow through? Well, try to remember how many times have you inflicted harm on other people and they have involuted because of it? How many times have you helped other people and they evolved because of your action?

My friend, the secrets that have led other people to liberation are in your hands. You have it in your hands to make a better world for yourself and others, or make your world a hell. In your hands you also have that others have a heaven or a hell. To go against the evolution of others is to go against your own evolution. After the 49 days, after this thorough analysis and acquired knowledge of yourself and of others, you will have awakened to the reality that everything evolves from involution, and that you can help the rest to evolve, as well as to contribute, even unknowingly, to the involution of others; not willingly of course. Nobody consciously hurts others, not even a flea.

We must remind ourselves that within us there is an entity that is our real self, an instinctive entity, an uncontrollable entity that when we sleep or are not alert, or day dreaming, can overwhelm us with our fears, our needs, our fights; that we forget that others are ourselves and that the life in them is the same as the life in us. That entity makes us do things that we consciously are not willing to do. You can understand, my friend, nobody wants to watch a baby cry. Nobody wants people to die of hunger. Nobody wants war, conflicts and discord. Consciously we want to see everybody happy, progressing. But what we see all around us are the signs and effects of involution. Who causes this? Who causes this, my friend? Simply put, it comes from within you and me, in the part of us humans that we cannot control, the part that tends to involution. For whatever reason, be it need or fear, isolation or trauma, it dominates our essence and makes us do the things we do. This is involution.

Think about it. Can you imagine if every person in this world decided to follow the Principle that says:" To go against the evolution of others and of things is to go against my own evolution." If each and every world citizen would do this, what kind of world would we have? Wouldn't we have a marvelous world? a beautiful world? a world that our Creator has foreseen as perfect and that is why He gave us the facility to evolve. The best way to arrive at a better world is for you, me and others to start working on evolving our own worlds. We have started this work, my friend, and we are making it. You can also do it my friend. You can also make your own world a better one. When you learn how to do it, following the instructions of those who preceded you on this road, you will also be able to teach it to others. You will be able to help others evolve in their own worlds. It is not a dream, my friend, it is not a dream. It is a reality.

This message now reaching you is new for you, but there are millions of people who have been working on this for many years. You just were not in contact with them so you didn't know of it. We are doing this because we either help people to rise up or they will fall, and if they fall they will carry us along with them. Think about this, my friend, think about this possibility. If you do not accept this message and do not follow its content, in your fall you can take us with you. If the life that is within you involutes, I will involute with you as well. I know you are surprised by this analysis, but it is the truth. This message is for people who are eager to develop, to change and reach their liberation.

Let's review this Principle again, it says "To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself." Said in different words my friend, if you help others to their evolution you will be evolving yourself. This is the key. This is THE key. My friend, I hope you have complied with the steps and information you have received in the first part of this message; they are fundamental to your future. You will not be able to continue with what follows unless you have practiced the instructions step by step. The reason for this is that evolution is like a ladder, you can evolve step by step, but only step by step. Be prudent, be conscious, be intelligent about this my friend. You can do it. If you have not yet seriously carried on with what you have read in the first part, don't worry; read and contemplate this message again. Go over the first part again until the Principle is part of your being; until it reaches the deepest part of your conscious and subconscious minds; until the part within you that tends to involution understands that you, right now, wish to evolve. If all the work from the first part has awakened within you the desire to evolve, to stop going against the evolution of people, situations and things; if you have realized that the involution of all is also yours, then I know you can continue with these Principles.

Your key questions are: "How can I evolve? What do I have to do?" Simply put: there is a Law called the Law of the Ternary, or the Law of the Trinity. There cannot be evolution unless a person balances the forces of evolution and involution within himself. To say it differently, you will not be able to evolve or help things and people to evolve unless your mind and emotions work together. Unless your mental desire to evolve penetrates your emotions, they will not want to evolve. By joining these two forces, the active and the passive, like in the case of electricity, you will be able to produce a third force, superior to the first two, which is totally evolutive.

My friend, I would like to call your attention to the word evolution, which implies will. Write it as e-volu-tion. It means action of the will to go forward. Will comes from the union of the idea that you have in your mind and the desire to carry this idea through. This is clear, right? Hopefully you will be able to accomplish this Principle. From our place in time, we are sending you all the vibrations and all the necessary energy so you can work it out.

Do it in the following way. Over a period of 49 days, the first thing you will do when you wake up and the last thing when you go to bed is the following: Relax your body; lie down facing up; eyes closed; visualize in your mental screen one dot and one circle, black on a white background. Visualize this in your mind, a dot and a perfect circle around it. Under them, visualize a phrase that says "Everything is in all and all is in everything." The explanation for this is: "Life is in everything, and everything is life". Visualize the principle below the circle. "If I help others to evolve, I will evolve myself." Hold this image in your mind for 3 minutes: the dot with the circle on your mental screen. Wish it firmly from the deepest part of your heart; wish so profoundly that it becomes a reality in your life. Talk to your emotions as if talking to another person, different from you, and make "him" see the circle, with the dot in the center, and have "him" see that evolution is the "Mother Principle of the Universe". My friend, do this repeatedly over a period of 49 days, morning and evening. Remember this seven times a day; recall seven times a day that you have taken the decision to experience evolution, that you have decided not to stop or interfere with the evolution of others or any other living thing.

Remember, "everything is alive". The rock evolves, the water evolves, the animals evolve, the minerals evolve, all vegetables evolve, businesses evolve, your ideas evolve, your body evolves - everything does. Through the visualization of the circle and this Principle, you will start to join your mind with your emotions. You will start to join the part in you that wants to go forward to the part that tends to go backwards.

Then after doing this you should get yourself a notebook, a notebook that has 100 pages. Divide it into 4 sections. The first section will be titled: "The evolution of my own will, the evolution of myself". The second part will be: "The evolution of my world". The third: "The evolution of the people that live in my world" and the fourth "The evolution of nature-humanity". With this notebook you will have the basis for your evolution, something precise and concrete, not something vague.

In the first part which deals with the evolution of your own will, write down the Principle of the Circle and the Dot. Then, divide this first section into 4 parts. The first one is: "Evolution of my physical body", the second is: "Evolution of my emotional body and my emotions", the third one is "The evolution of my thoughts", the fourth, "Evolution by Cosmic Law application."

Let's now see the second part of the notebook that is titled: "The evolution of my world". This part will be divided in two. The first is: "Evolution of my activities" and the second is "Evolution of my possibilities."

The third part of the notebook will be divided into 4 parts. The first is "The evolution of my friends," write here the names of all the friends whom you see frequently. The second is "The Evolution of my family." There you will write the names of your mother, father, wife or husband, children. The third, "The evolution of my work mates," write down all names of the people you are in frequent contact with. The fourth, "Evolution of all the people that I see daily."

Now, lets see the fourth part of your notebook. It should read "Evolution of nature-humanity." This section you will divide into two parts. First, "Evolution of humanity" and the second, "The evolution of nature."

After all this is done, write down the key question on the first page of the notebook: "What can I do to help everything and everybody in this notebook to evolve, to advance to a higher level?" This question will be the basis for the entire content of the notebook. Dedicate 20 to 30 minutes to it every day to it. As you apply yourself to this, you will gain solid ideas on how you can help your acquaintances, your work mates, and humanity. You will be able to contribute to them in a concrete way.

Even though the involutive part of you will try to make you see that there is not much you can do for others and for yourself, don't give in to this feeling, my friend. (I am giving you the way to be a part of the evolution of others. If the involutive part of you cannot give you an appropriate answer on how you can aid others and yourself to evolve, then utilize this message and your experience; use this Principle and take it with you so others can get to know it and can practice it.) You can help them to include in their lives this First Principle for The Liberation of Man.

But let's suppose that you have been able to see that you certainly can help others evolve, others and yourself. Then the process of joining the two parts, the evolution and involution (to be in agreement) and the image of the dot and the circle becomes a conscious part of your life. Also, when you decide on something you wish to accomplish, apply this principle over a seven day period, twice per day; when you go to bed and when you wake up. You must picture in your mental screen a symbol or the outline of something you have decided upon, something that you want. Visualize what you want to accomplish and wish for it firmly. Clearly transmit the image in your mind to your emotions and do it over and over during seven days, and seven times per day. Remember, this is how you can experience evolution.

As you are able to experience this new consciousness, my travel and life companion, there is work to be done. One must work, sweat, even fight at times, because what you have in this message is not for lazy people, nor for the indolent, or for people that have failed in life, and certainly not for people who have not made the necessary effort to evolve in their lives. This is for those that have made the effort over and over again and because of a lack of method, or knowledge of the Principles, or a lack of light, have tripped on supposedly unsurpassable obstacles. I hope that you are a part of those people who put a value on their lives, people who have understood that The Cosmos is order and all that order comes from order itself. It does not matter what you call it or how you conceive it. The Cosmic order, the planets, galaxies, suns, your life, all life grows under principle and rhythms in perfect harmony together.

Perhaps you will ask: "And why were these teachings not given to us when we were children?" My friend, I will answer with the very wise words of an ancient man: "Everything has its own time; there is a time to sleep, a time to eat, a time to work and a time to rest, and also there is a time in the life of a person when he can receive the necessary teachings that will take him to the accomplishment of his plan of life." There is a well known phrase: "When the disciple is ready to listen and receive the teaching, the master will be there with the necessary knowledge." My friend, don't permit anything within to fool you, just don't allow it. Be intelligent. Your Creator has given you a mind to think, emotions to perceive and feel, and a vigorous body with which to act.

You have ideas, emotions, and can put them into action. You can understand by yourself, without help from anybody else, the truth that lies in this message. Don’t listen to the part in you that says that it is difficult, that you can't carry it through to the end. This is the part that we call "the involutive force within." It is the part in you that is happy to see you involved in mistakes, in failures, and in the gutter. It is the part that is happy to see you down; the part that has caused all the disgrace in your life. Will you continue to listen to this? Or will you be sensible and prudent? I am appealing to your other part, the part that wants to evolve, the part that appreciates the gifts of wisdom and intelligence, the part that realizes that it is necessary to try and put forth an effort to be able to achieve something in this life. I'm calling to the part that knows that without effort what you get is not of value. I do not want the two parts within you to argue, the involutive and the evolutive. Stop them now, enough of conflicts and contradictions. The hour is finally here to do something about it.

From this message you can receive HOW your evolutive part can influence your involutive part, so that both, as brothers, can make peace and move the body to reach the ends that will take you to a world full of light, a happy world. So make your decision, you have to decide today, tomorrow, every day. Seven times per day make the decision to evolve.

Don't get frustrated if on the first, second or third attempt you are not able to transmit the image of the dot and the circle, or that you still are not able to wake up your inner desire to evolve. Don't stop trying, try over and over again. When you accomplish this, nothing, nothing will stop you; nothing will come between you and evolution. No obstacle will be unsurpassable. But all of this has a price, not the price of this message nor the price of your effort, but some other price. If you are able to accomplish everything that you have learned in this message, you must stand before the Creator of the Universe and commit yourself to use it only and exclusively for the purpose of evolution of life. To use it only for the service of the well being and perfection of your brothers and yourself, transmitting it to others who are in the same condition you are today, in a relative obscurity, not knowing how to evolve nor how to move forward.

Today we are doing what we promised by transmitting this message to you, so you as well can commit yourself to do the same by taking it to others. Wouldn't you like it if in your small world all the people you know would progress, be successful, and be really happy? Well, you can you know. Do your part first by accomplishing your happiness first, then they will benefit from your subsequent actions.

When you force something towards its end, you get the opposite effect. Again, when you force something towards some end, you produce the contrary of what you originally wanted. Remember, when you force, you get the opposite. To force... an end... opposite. To force ... end... opposite. When you force something to an end, you will get the opposite.

Repeat after me, slowly, visualizing a double dish weight scale, where you force one side down the other moves up. Visualize the scale and repeat after me: When I force something towards an end, I will create the opposite result. I must not force. I must not force. I must not force. I must not force anything towards some end. When I force something towards an end, I will get the opposite effect of what I originally wanted. Visualize on your mental screen the scale, see the process of adding and then subtracting weights on one dish in order to perfectly balance some item on the other dish.

This represents what you can do to reach balance in your life and master this Principle. One dish represents the effort you are making to accomplish your purpose, and the other is what you want to get. What you want to accomplish has a price, a fair price. If you don't try hard, you will not achieve what you want, because you will be paying a lesser price by your effort than what its fair price is. So, if you have not made the necessary effort, you cannot get what you want. Also, you cannot force it to your end because you would be violating the law of Balance. Everything you want requires an amount of effort and of work, not more nor less than its price. This is the reason why, in the past, you haven't been able to reach many of your goals. This is the reason why, instead of reaching your goal, you have accomplished the opposite of what you set out to do. You have forced the situation; you wanted your goal without paying its fair price. Remember, when you force something towards an end, you produce the opposite.

Review this part of the message over and over for a period of 49 days when you wake up and when you go to bed, always visualizing the scale dishes (represented by a circle split equally right and left) shifting until reaching equilibrium. Recall this situation seven times per day. Seven times a day say in a loud voice this Principle which governs the accomplishment of all human effort: "When I force something towards an end, I will get the opposite effect." Everything I wish to get has a fair price, and I must pay for it with effort, work or some other way, no more, no less than its fair value.

Alright, my friend, get comfortable and let's converse seriously. If your parents had taught you this Principle when you were between the ages of, let's say, seven to ten years old, where would you be now? Yes, yes, I know, sadly we were not taught this Principle. How many times in the past have we forced things to happen; we wanted something and acted to get it by force, but what we got was the opposite result. This concept must be clear that in you, in me, and in every human being, our conscious side knows very well that we must pay for everything we wish to get. Isn't this true? Then, who is the one who forces things? Who is it?

Simply put, something inside of us, an impulsive person inside of us, a person that wants to do whatever he wants to do, a person that does not follow laws, that whenever he wants something, forces his way through you in order to get it. He does not care if it has a price or not, and in this moment this impulsive person is in you, in me and inside every human being. This person has to be balanced by the conscious part of us. Our mind, when it's up and awake, knows that there is a price to pay for the things we want, but our impulsive part does not know of laws, nor does it care for these things.

Visualize again the dishes and the scale, let's put on the right dish our conscious part and on the left our emotional, impulsive part; that part that wants to do whatever it wants, knowing no laws. When the conscious part does not take into consideration the impulsive part, it has little strength to give to any effort; therefore, it cannot accomplish its goal. If the impulsive part in us is the one that governs us, it forces its way into some outer action, causing you to get the opposite of what you set out to accomplish. Then you will say: "What can I do about it?" The answer is simple: Our conscious side and our impulsive side have to be in an agreement in order to do things well. The impulsive side is the strong side of us, and the conscious side, the mind, is the one that knows exactly how to accomplish things, what the price is, or how to find out the right price to pay to accomplish the goal.

As you do the exercise I'm giving you, over a period of 49 days, your conscious side will be transmitting to your impulsive side the image of this Principle; it will be educating it that it is not possible to just do whatever it wants; it will be telling it "Lets get together on all that we do." This is the Binary Law, the Law of Duality. Everything in the Cosmos is One, and the One becomes two. One side active and the other passive; one side positive and the other negative; a right and a left side; and unless, my friend, both parts are in agreement within you, you will continue harvesting failures, you will continue to force things towards some end and, of course, getting the opposite effect. Or you will continue to give a lesser than necessary effort in getting those things you want, but falling short of getting them.

The Law of Duality, or the Binary Law, also called the Polarity Law, manifests in all of us in the following manner: One pole is your mind. Your mind, when you are awake, knows the law. It knows very well that everything has a price, no more, nor less than its fair value; and this price cannot be forced under any circumstance. What happens is that this is not the side that always governs us. The impulsive side is the other pole; the side with our emotional strength; it is our animal part that knows nothing of laws, that wants to do whatever it wants, and if possible, accomplish everything without paying any price. You know this pole well! We are all made from the same mold.

Now then, how can we achieve an agreement between these two parts of us, the mind and the emotions? How can we get a clear idea of the proper balance between our mind and emotions? We want our mind and our strength to work together. We want our goal and our motive force to achieve without forcing a situation, and to be prepared to pay the fair price.

One way to accomplish this condition is through the exercise I gave you earlier. Another is by awakening to the fact that time and again in the past we have forced things to happen, and have gotten the contrary. Or simply put, we have not given the right amount of effort needed and didn't get what we wanted! My travel and life companion, my friend, do you want to continue living this way?

Get a notebook and a pen, recall the times in the past you gave your time and effort to get something, forcing your way through, and the only thing you got was the opposite of what you set out to achieve. Each time you have tried to force yourself into accomplishing something, it does not matter what, write it down in your notebook. Do so on each of the 49 days to the best of your ability. Then, on each of the 49 days write down all of your ideas, goals and projects that you wanted to achieve but were not able to accomplish because of lack of strength. These were the times you were not able to do them because your other (emotional) side was not with you with the necessary power and strength needed. Do this over the next 49 days. Then write the names of seven people that you see frequently, and write down the times that they have tried to accomplish something by forcing their way to the end but accomplished the opposite. Make this work the most important thing in your life for the next 49 days.

Think about it, over and over until you are convinced of this truth. Do it until every cell of your body, until your impulsive side, your emotional side, and your mind accept the truthfulness of this Universal Principle, until you see it clearly. Are you ready to give the necessary effort? Are you ready to do this? Are you willing to pay the price? Or would you prefer to force the issue once again? Do you think you can bypass this Law without paying a fair price? This Law simply says that if you do not give the right amount of effort, you will be violating this Principle. If you don't agree then this message will not serve any purpose, but you would be wasting a golden opportunity, the opportunity to be a balanced man, in harmony and peace with yourself. A man with his mind and emotions working together, with his will and power joined together, struggling towards the same purpose.

My friend, be prudent, be intelligent, be sensible and don't permit anything to discourage your efforts. Our emotional side normally tends to forcing and justifying itself, it is the side that wastes our energy. But have courage! If you are prudent and intelligent now that you know this situation and make the decision to carry through with these exercises, you will change your life to your liking. Now, if I were to insist that you do this exercise, I would be forcing your effort and the only result would be the opposite. I would accomplish your not doing anything about what you have learned from this message. This is how the Law of Balance works. Like a Great Master said: "He who has ears, should hear; he who has eyes, should see." There you have it, my friend. Be prepared to pay the price in this life. Every effort spent according to this Principle will pay you back a hundred times over.

Now then, relax, lie down if you wish, calm yourself, shut your eyes and visualize a circle with a dot in the middle. Below it, on the left side, visualize a circle split into two halves by a line. On the right side of the circle split in two, visualize a third circle, a circle looking similar to the Mercedes Benz emblem enclosed in a circle, a circle divided into three equal parts. These circles represent the three phases of accomplishment. The first one we will call your 'wish.' The circle in two parts has two names; the left side is 'wish,' the right is called 'can.' In the third circle, if the wish and the can are in balance with each other then both must also be in balance with the 'do.' This is your visualization of idea, emotion and action in perfect balance. If your body, ideas and emotions are perfectly balanced and if you are ready to pay the price for what you want, without forcing anything, you will be a person that can do; that can accomplish everything because you understand that everything has a price, not more nor less than its true value. Three times a day over the next 49 days you will draw the three circles and meditate on them and the relationships they represent. You have in your hands the key of the doing. use it well.

I know you are a person of good judgement, having a real desire to evolve and accomplish the purpose of your life in harmony with yourself, your co-workers and those who are in your little world. If you have carried through with all the instructions received in the first part of this message, you now know a lot about the forces inside of you. You know a lot about the forces of your mind, your emotions and your body. If this is the case, let's proceed to the next part, which is how to carry through with the Principle of the three forces, the Principle that states that: "When you force something towards an end, you get the opposite."

Prepare a notebook and pencil. Write down the name of seven people, seven people with different ages, whom you appreciate and like; and who also like and appreciate you. These seven people must have in common the fact that they are accustomed to forcing things with the result not expected. People you know who perhaps don't try hard enough to get what they want. It does not matter if you can't think of their names right away, but keep at it and make the list. From the many you first consider you should make your first list; these are your pre-candidates. Then, by using your knowledge and memory you have about them, you can decide which should be the seven people.

Ask yourself and write down: "What can I do to help these people understand this great Principle and help them start living by it?" Your work in this second part is to deliver this Principle to the seven people on your list and help them apply it throughout their lives. This is based on another Cosmic Law that states: "You will affix within you, forever, that which you teach to another." My friend, what is the use of a personal balanced world? What can you get from knowing this Principle and Law, carrying it though successfully in your own small world, while those closest to you are still ignorant about it and continue to force things towards their incomplete end? What good can you get out of it if your closest friends or relatives aren't harmonious, balanced and happy, reaching their goals? It is logical, you see, truth and knowledge have an agreement that says: He who benefits from the truth and knowledge of the ones who went ahead on this Path, has the obligation to pass it to others. This is the pre-requisite for affixing this Principle and Law to your body, your mind, and your emotions.

You cannot master this Principle 100% unless you try to transmit it to other people and encourage them to carry it through for their own equilibrium. Remember, if you force something to an end you will get the opposite, that is, if you force them to learn the Principle and follow it, you will not be able to see them successfully accomplishing it. Don't try to force them.

Picture one person you are willing to help on one dish of the balance scale and see your effort to help on the other. The two dishes will have to balance each other before your friends will be able to put this Principle to work in their lives and gain their new happiness. Remember, the steps you have to go through are as follows: First, make a list of pre-candidates. Second, analyze each to see who are the ones that violate the principle; that is, the ones that force themselves at something and always get the opposite, or those who do not try hard enough and never reach their goal.

Third, decide to transmit the Principle to them and on the manner with which you will carry it through. You can't make this decision unless you yourself are in balance, but if you paid the price of doing the work indicated here, you are. Everything has its price.

The price for what you have received, the price of the harmony you have accomplished by carrying through the first part of these instructions is the transmission and help you render to the seven people you placed on your list. The understanding of this idea will let you make your decision without conflict or contradiction, without a struggle between your mind and your emotions, between your desire and your "can do."

Fourth, be alert to the side in you that will tell you it does not know how to do it, or that it can't be done, or that these people are not going to listen, or that these people are not able to do it, or any other excuse. This is the fourth step, to be alert to this side in us, the negative, passive side. You will not be able to fulfill this work unless you convince this side that doing this effort is a necessity, that working at this is to pay a price for something that has been received. This is the secret way of being able of accomplish anything.

Fifth; set up a time, a good way is every two or three days, when you can dedicate your effort to each person, until he or she has reached balance and harmony in life. To say this differently, you have to continue your effort until they "make it". Sixth step, start your effort from the beginning of this Principle, don't skip anything. Consider that each and every one of these people are in the same place you were before you started to see the Light of this teaching.

Last step, teach them to do it exactly the same way you are doing it. That is, they have to pay the price by teaching the seven people they selected in the way to accomplish the Principle of Equilibrium that says: "When you force something to an end you get the opposite." While this takes place, you should write your goal and the Principle in little sheets of paper, placing them in several different places in your home to remind yourself of what you're doing. Change the places often until you constantly have in your mind the purpose of what you want to accomplish, and that you are willing to pay the price for this Principle of Light for your personal liberation.

Now then, review this teaching for seven days, every night when you go to bed. I already hear your protest from the side in you that does not want to pay the price; the side that considers that this is too much work; the side that says that it is not necessary to listen to this seven times, that once is enough; that you are not stupid; that you can understand it after reviewing it a couple of times. I can hear it! Don't pay any attention to it. It has always acted this way in the past; but don't permit it to do what it wants this time. This has happened to me as well, my friend, I know it well. It kept me in the mud for a long time. I know hundreds of people that have the same problem. I deal with this side like I would do with a young child; I do not struggle with it; I let it see that I will not listen to it for seven days. I will listen to its protests, but inside my heart, I will not follow it.

Be astute my friend, we are talking about your life. Are you going to allow failure here? Are you going to allow your emotional side lead you to destroy your life? I did this same procedure in the past too; one day I realized that life is One and that it is something incredibly great to be incarnated in a body and be alive. I understood that one incarnates to do something concrete. You have something to do! Each one of us has something to do in the Cosmic Plan.

Can't you see my brother, this is a world of order ? Don't you see that this is a perfect world ? Don't be concerned any longer with the side of you that says it is not so. Everything in the Cosmos is in order. When you accept this, your life will start to make sense. My life started to make sense when I started to obey and follow the Cosmic Laws. I realized that success, harmony, peace and happiness, friendship and love all obey precise laws; they are not at all related to chance or something that just happens. No, my friend, no, no; it is something that we can produce in our life if you follow the laws.

I also had my doubts and my struggles. Be positive in the morning and negative in the evening. Think " I can " in the morning and consider it impossible later on in the day. These are laws and principles that thousands of people before us have used and proven to be true. You yourself have used them many times. Think, if an item is worth 50, why argue and try to force yourself into buying it for less. If it is worth 50, then it has to be purchased for 50; the price has to be paid. It's that simple. You cannot rape a woman and at the same time have her cooperate with you; you can't force a child to study if you want him to learn, you have to find a way to show him that it is good for him. A mother might want to see her child eating well, but if she forces the child, it will oppose her efforts. But this is the way we have been brought up. " You must study ", then we don't. "You must work", then we don't want to. "You must do this, you must do that, you must be good. You must love other people, so nobody "Loves their neighbor." You see we have always been forced to do things, and without noticing , these ways have entered into our "blood" (DNA).

We also try to force others to do things. We force everything and we accomplish the opposite! We have to get rid of these ways of behavior. We can if we awaken ourselves, if we observe and realize what our ways of doing things are. It's simple: make your mind up to observe yourself and others, notice how people force things to happen, see how people force things, and the results are not what was expected. Then, observe yourself, and you'll see that these ways are in you as well. That is why you are where you are. But, when you awaken to this fact and decide to follow the law and the teaching given in the first part of this program and if you do what is said in the second part, you will in all certainty change your habitual ways of forcing things or not trying hard enough, and you will become a harmonious person.

As you can see my friend, in the same way that there are "traffic laws," "income tax laws," "laws for banking ," for work, for marriage, for commerce ,etc., nature and the Order of the Cosmos has provided Laws for living that apply to the vegetables, the minerals and the humans as well. Laws that permit growth and evolution in perfect harmony for the accomplishment of Cosmic and personal plans. Carrying through with the Laws, you find you will have light on what you do and where you go. You will be able to shine it on your small world and on that of others, who themselves will have the light shine in their world and that of those they work with. We must place our pride and ways of thinking that we are such important beings under constant watch and restraint while we search for the ways to improve the quality of our lives, and of those close to us. Doesn't our past life show, and don't we each one know deep inside that this principle is true and will improve our lives? That it is hard to do, well, OK, maybe at first, but once it is started it doesn't look hard. Isn't' it worth it? Everything requires work, what doesn't!

My friend, think and meditate, be patient with yourself, don't act in a hurry. Do this slowly, and you will enter into the circle of the Friends of the Law. You will enter the circle of the Friends of the Cosmos; of Nature; Friends of Order; the circle of the ones that have understood; of those who can carry through everything they wish, for they do not go against the Law of Order. Instead they back it up, they defend it. You will overcome and will help others to overcome. Or will you fail and be one of so many that fail because they don't know they have to pay for what they want? Do you know someone who wants to act the way 'he wants', and doesn't go any further than that?

Well, there you have the balance scale of life in front of you, and it's your life on the scale. You can make your own heaven or hell out of it on this earth, and you now have the way to improve it. May our common Creator guide your steps. Thanks for your attention. Thanks. We are One.

THE PRINCIPLE OF STRENGTH

Hello, my friend, hello! To go backwards or to go forward, to advance, to wait, or to retreat, these are important doubts. During the course of our lives we face situations, happenings, occasions, and problems, but most times we do not know how to face them or to retreat. We do not really know when to wait or when to go forward. Imagine how often in the past you have been faced with this situation; the same as the rest of us. How many times did you go forward on something instead of waiting for the situation to mature? How do we humans know what we should do and when? My friend, for a long time our decisions, reactions and behavior on these matters have really been based on our instincts and experience. This way carries a high risk of failure because the chances of being wrong are quite high. You have at least a 90% probability of making the wrong decisions when faced with choices such as advancing on a problem, waiting or retreating. We can still choose between two possible decisions: our instincts, intuition and experience, or follow certain Laws and Principles which can guide us more certainly through these uncertainties.

Our life, even if we're not aware of it, obeys laws. Everything that happens to us comes out of Just and Perfect Laws which function in this world. We live in a Cosmos of Order, in a Universe of Order, created intelligently by an Ordered Force, no matter what you may call It. The Cosmos, our Creator, has provided all of life with the laws that maintain order, and if we use them consciously, they can guide us through every situation we face.

This third Principle, the third among 12, says: "The light needed for the liberation of the individual has been provided for your use." The Principle goes like this: "Retreat when confronting a stronger force, wait until it weakens and then advance with resolution". Back away from a stronger force, wait until it weakens, and then go forward in a firm, assured manner. As you can see, my companion on the path, if we come to understand this, to be conscious of and follow it, and practice this very wise Principle of Light, we will be able to avoid 100% of the wrong decisions we make, as well as prevent us from doing wrong to others 100% of the time. Isn't this ability worth having?

Let's see, my friend, what the precise meaning of this Principle is. The first part is "to retreat when confronted by a stronger force." This means we have to stop and step back from it when we recognize it. This is the way to avoid any danger or damage that may result from such an encounter. What obstacles do we see that could prevent us from carrying through with the first part of this Principle? Right! You figured it out! The only obstacle is our ability to size up the force that comes up against us; when is it a stronger or weaker force as compared to ours? Now then, if you are the type of person that overestimates yourself, then you would usually be the type of person that has received quite a few blows and problems in life, because a person who believes he is on top of everything, one who overestimates himself, usually gets into many problems. If you are one of those who underestimates himself, then you overestimate your problems, situations and the people you deal with, and then you spend most of your life holding back, tormented and unable to do much! As you can see, it is a serious problem. One must be very balanced, awake and acknowledging always the size of our forces, our value, power and capabilities to be able to size up the incoming opposing forces. To be able to carry through with the first part of the Principle, all you need to have is an impartial judgement. You have to really want, from the bottom of your heart, to solve your problems, for on this depends whether you are going to continue with them or be free of them.

Search within yourself and notice your behavior of the past, analyzing the problems and missed chances in your life which resulted from your actions plus the reasons why you have not advanced as you wanted. Then you will be able to find the secret that lies behind the image you have of yourself. First, ask yourself: "Do I over or underestimate myself? Do I consider myself a great thing, or do I consider myself not much of anything?" "Have I made many mistakes in the past regarding my forces"?

Second, make a list of seven people in your life, seven people that like and appreciate you. Ask them what they think about you. Ask them: "Do you think that I over or under estimate myself?" Let them answer this, it will help you to search within yourself a great deal. The root of the problem is that we are made up of three parts, a mental, an emotional and a physical part. Our mental part always overestimates itself. It believes it is the king of the hill, while our emotional part is the cautious one. It is the one that has received the sometimes hard lessons of life; it is the part that has always listened to the "You can't do this, you can't do that," so it is the part that always underestimates itself. There is an eternal conflict between the part that overestimates itself, called the personality, and the part that underestimates itself, called the essence, or our emotional part. The one who suffers the effects of this fight between these two parts is your body (unless you can arrive at a true and real evaluation of yourself).

My friend, your mind and my mind want a lot. We have great imaginations. Our minds go into fantasy quite a bit, but finally you must remember that it is not our minds which do the things that we want in life. Our mind always puts us into problems, into undesirable situations.

On the other hand, our emotions, our impulses, the part within us that underestimates itself, the part that has registered all of the failures we have had during our lives gets smaller each day. It tends to keep us in a corner, not letting us try situations for fear of failure.

These two parts, my friend, must make peace between themselves, and the only way to accomplish this is to objectively analyze yourself. Do an evaluation of your own reality, of what really and truly can be done by the mind and of what really and truly can be expected from your emotions. Then, the joining of the thoughts and ideas with the desire to carry through these thoughts in a balanced way will harmonize you and will harmonize the external forces around you. In any case, until you have done this analysis, until you have finished with your evaluation, until you know with certainty the ground you are standing on, until you can differentiate between the wanting of your mind and the desires of your emotions, and until you have learned to balance both, you will have to back away from stronger forces.

Well then, what about the stronger force? Where do these situations and circumstances come from? Are these the problems at work or with the family, with friends, or even with myself? Where do they come from and why do I have to accept backing away from them? Again, my friend let's ask for help from our common Creator from the Cosmos that has provided us with Laws of Light to shine on our paths and to help us carry through with our life plans. In this case what comes to aid us is the Law of Cause and Effect. This Law states the following: "Each cause has its effect, and each effect has its cause." This means that you are the cause of all mayor situations and events, problems and conflicts with people, work, friends and family that come your way. You are the cause, you have triggered the stronger force, either knowing or not knowing that you did. This is why you have to accept and back away from this force.

The root of our problem is that there is a part of us, an impulsive part, the emotional part, the part that is afraid, the part that tends to failure, the part that does not follow the law, the part that does whatever it wants. This part, when we are not awake or aware, when we do not actively control it, causes us to take some action or other. By the Law of Cause and Effect, some effect is going to (has to) come back on us. In this case, it will be a strong force. This is why, if at the instant when you find yourself in circumstances or situations of this kind, when a stronger force is coming to confront you, my friend, do not face it, do not argue; be humble, accept the situation and back away from it.

Then just wait, wait until it weakens, wait in your new knowledge until this stronger force weakens because of inaction while you wait and analyze the reason why you came to face this situation. In the exact instant that you know the reason for the triggering of this situation to have happened to you, the reason your conscious or subconscious behavior caused this force to overcome you, at that instant the force confronting you will weaken. So that is what you have to do, wait until it weakens. Wait until you have found the reason for it to be there, then this force will weaken in the same instant that you acknowledge that it is yourself that has caused it, that you know where it came from and that you have learned an important lesson.

From your experience you can then avoid similar situations in the future by not triggering them yourself. Your subsequent activities will be more confident. You will be able to advance with resolution, with light on your path (the word resolution comes from the root word: sun, which is light and reasoning, and which means to decide to do something without making the same mistake again).

So back away - wait, advance when you know the cause of the situation. This all depends on you, depends on the reasons for your behavior of today, on the causes of your actions. Your actions, good or bad, will inevitably trigger stronger forces which will come back to you, which themselves would be good or bad according to why you caused them. Back away from a stronger force, wait until it weakens and then advance with resolution. This is the Principle that could shine on your life for you, but only if sincerely and deeply from the bottom of our heart, you decide to accomplish the analysis objectively and impartially, then make the adjustments, bringing your inner parts into balance and working as one. This depends on you, right now, while you consider this message.

In years past, consciously or unconsciously, you have been the cause of the situations in your life. If your actions have been for the good, you have received your deserved payment for them; if not yet, you will receive them in the future. This is an irrevocable Law, just and perfect. All your actions, good and bad, will come back to you as a stronger force in your life. Follow the Principle, my companion on the path, wake up to it, and prepare yourself to acknowledge the stronger forces you encounter. Know the causes and realize the good and the mistakes so you can keep on advancing. But never forget, it is not important who you are, what you do or how old you are. Know that before you were aware of this principle, both consciously and not, you have acted rightly and wrongly. For the good you will be paid, and for the bad you have to prepare yourself to stand in front of their effects.

This is the Law, a just and blessed Law; without it our world would be much more chaos than it is today. Thousands of people, my friend, of all ages and from all times, have received this message. Some were prudent, ambitious and intelligent; they saw the Light of this message and decided to work at it by putting it into practice. It is because of their effort that it has arrived to us from past ages. We were able to do it, and we are carrying through with it, according to the Law by passing this message on to you. What will you do with it? Will it be a message received once and then lost in time? Will you underestimate or overestimate yourself anyway? And will you permit your mental part, the one that overestimates itself, to judge this message badly? Will you permit your emotional part to underestimate your emotional force to carry through with it? As you can see, this is for people who want success. It is for people who want peace and harmony, for people who do not want to harm anything or anybody anymore, neither consciously or otherwise; not to themselves nor to others. It is for people who want to be useful to their world and to their Creator. It is for people who want to wake up from their long sleep. It is for people who want to balance the duality of good and bad. It is for people who can do it.

My friend, we know the difficulties that are encountered on the road to this Light, don't let yourself be disappointed by them. Read this message seven times, once a day before going to bed, then come to your conclusions on this first part.

Dear friend, if you paid close attention to the first part of this message for seven days and if you meditated and deeply reflected on the Law of Cause and Effect, you must have arrived at your conclusions, isn't that right? Your conclusion cannot be other than the following: Each time that life puts you in circumstances where you are facing the danger of a stronger force that can strike you down, you must back away and ask yourself why is this happening? Why am I facing this situation and problem? You must look within yourself for the cause or causes that have triggered this situation, and you must find it. Only when you find it and you accept that you triggered it, and when you decide not to repeat the cause that triggered the situation, then the stronger force will weaken and you will never have to face it again. The second question you should ask yourself is: "Has this happened to me in the past? In the past, have I ever been in the face of a stronger force like this one? Why?"

My friend, these two questions about facing a stronger force are your keys in the search for your answers. If you do this with good intentions and full seriousness, something in you will show you the cause; what happens after you have your answer depends on your arrogance or your humbleness, on your desire to get what you want but denying guilt; or if you are humble, sensible and prudent enough to acknowledge and correct the condition that started it all, then you will be able to advance with resolution. Each and everyone of us, my friend, has tendencies like these. Inside of us, in our emotional part, we have these tendencies to make mistakes over and over. The blows we receive for making these mistakes are the ones that one day will bring us to the understanding that behind these mistakes are the lessons that we have to learn, inviting us to correct them. It's not too difficult to reign in our emotional body, bringing it to cooperate consciously with our mind so as to eliminate the tendencies that lead us to our problems, conflicts, contradictions and blows.

Get a paper and pencil, and during seven days, once per day, ask yourself these questions: "What kind of problem is repeated over and over in my life? Which are the situations, events or happenings that I am involved over and over? Which are the blows that I am receiving over and over?" Be impartial and objective with yourself, give a true and honest answer to these questions from deep within you. The Light will show you which are the problem causes that are repeated, and you will have your answers. You will know that ever since you had reason this Law has been at work in your life, placing the strong forces before you so you would look within for their causes. You have paid for many of these already, but there are still a few left to be paid.

So, knowing the causes that you triggered in the past because of your emotional tendencies, you can now tell which are the effects that resulted. You can also remain alert now to the forces that will be showing up in the future. Again, your analysis will turn on the light in you mind and heart. It will carry you to the discipline and auto-correction you need by being alert and prepared to pay for that which you have done in the past. Now you won't be surprised by the stronger force when it shows up. Will you be able to back away in humbleness before this force? Will you wait until it weakens? Remember, it will not weaken, but will return even stronger, over and over, until you acknowledge the causes and you decide not to make the same mistake again. Only then will you be able to advance with resolution. The effects could show up in various ways, but the Law, which is just and perfect, and is magnanimous with those who wait for it and with those who support and defend it. Also, when one knows the Law, when one acknowledges that he has to pay, the blow hurts less.

My friend, in order that this Principle and the Law of Cause and Effect be fixed in your essence and become the normal and daily way for you to face life, that is to make it a part of yourself, you must start and then continue to work with it. Remember, everything has its fair price.

Now, open up a 50 page notebook, divide it into 4 sections. In the first write down: "My duty with myself". In the second write: "My duty with my neighbor," in the third: "My duty with humanity," and in the fourth: "My duty with the Law, with the Cosmos, with the Creator." You must initiate the following plan which will last many years of your life, and it is as follows: Start creating, in a conscious manner causes for the good, causes for harmony, causes for unity, without conflicts or contradictions. Also causes for which the effects are harmony, peace, love and well being. Ask yourself the following question: "What can and what should I do to lead a harmonious life? What can I start doing today, tomorrow, every other day? Which seed actions can I take so the effects are equal to the seed?" Sow causes of care towards your emotional body, They are in need of harmony, beauty, art, balance and must withdraw from the fear of failure and of itself. You can create causes of clearness, of understanding, of consideration in your mental body, causes of order and causes of balance. Search, inquire, investigate, then create, create, create. And then just wait for the results. The Sacred Law of Increased Compensation will return to you a hundred fold for each seed you plant.

Then, do the same for your neighbor, for your wife, your friends, your parents, your relatives, your work companions. Start to sow in them, start to induce in them harmonious actions; in a conscious way make it a goal for them to achieve in them, to bring out the best part of them. The same will be your duty with humanity. Which causes can you sow? What can you do for your neighborhood? Your area in town? For the small world that is humanity to you? This will later compensate you a hundred times over.

In relation to your duties with your Creator, my friend, you must know you were created for a very specific reason. An intelligent and perfect Creator cannot make a mistake, He can not create a being without some purpose. There is a purpose to your life, there is a plan, your creator is expecting something from you, something that is very real, something that he does not expect from anybody else because you are unique. He has not created any two humans alike, none but you has the combination that you are. If you are aware of this fact, if you search inside of yourself where your Creator resides, and if you do not slack off until you know the reason for your existence, you will find why are you here. Where are you going and what do you have to do? You can know these things, my friend. This could be the great cause that you could sow. Its effects will show up when you are ready, at the moment when you have learned to obey the Laws of your Creator, both for yourself and for the rest of Creation.

One of the causes you can sow is this message to seven people you have to choose. It is guaranteed that you will later have much fruit for your labors, fruits of peace, balance and harmony which will give you a much better world, a clearer world, a world at peace with your neighbors, your friends and your family. A world with order. Think of seven people, that like you, live the effects of long ago causes they don't even suspect and would like to follow the light, living in peace and harmony also. You can sow this cause. The effects will be Light in your life; you would contribute to the illumination of this world and to the Mansion of our common Father. Let's think together, how much suffering, how many errors, how many problems could be avoided if each and everyone of the people that live in your small world could receive and carry through with this message.

This message is a chain. We do not know the people that live in your world, but you do. You are already a keeper of this message and now possess the knowledge of how to use it in your life.. Write down the name of seven people. If you have followed all the instructions, if you understood and have conquered this Principle and this Law of Cause and Effect, I assure to you that you will not have any difficulty in transmitting it. They, as well, will spread it to others, and those others to others, and so on. Do not permit the pessimism that is within you to keep you from this action, nor allow thoughts that there is no one who would understand or be interested in carrying through with this. There are many who under their outer mannerisms, their looks, under the show of vanity, their pride, the types of people that know it all, people that perhaps at the beginning will tell you that they know about it, you will find those who are ready for this message. Be alert, understand! They are like us. Deep within them is the desire to learn; the need to realize and accept their mistakes and then to find their correction. So be alert in your effort; listen patiently to them; study their external appearances; then, when you sense they give you their attention. Instruct them patiently and with an understanding heart, knowing that inside those bodies there is a spirit that is eager to evolve, a spirit that does not want to fight or receive any more blows from life, that would anxiously receive the help offered.

If you are aware, if you are alert, you will be effective; you will be preparing a better world. Nor will you talk nonsense again like the person down at a coffee shop criticizing the mistakes of this world. No, you will not have the time for this, for any criticism. You will be, either a man or woman, a doer. You will be a person capable of changing circumstances in your world and of that around you. You will stop being the type of person that only criticizes and creates only conditions to receive more blows. My friend, being that we ourselves have thrown dirt in the past, now we have to clean up this world of our making. It is also in your hands to get it dirtier and live in filth if that is your desire. But with this Principle you have the possibility to start your cleaning, and what is of most importance, not mess up your world ever again. You can make of your life either heaven or hell. You choose. In this moment you are awake and alert, and you have your free will, so you can decide. We have done so before you, now it is your turn. You can too, you can.

When we did these Principles we too doubted (at first) as to our capabilities, thinking we wouldn't be able to understand and carry through with the actions, nor be able to transmit the material to others. In my own situation, I even thought that in order to re-transmit these teachings I would have to turn myself into a radio broadcaster and would need to go to a university to learn how to give speeches. But one day I understood that if I can talk well or not, that if I try to transmit this to someone, and this someone is like me, a human being with problems and happiness, with struggles and a will to evolve, this person would understand me and would not criticize me for my presentation. First we were willing to try, then we learned, then we dared. Venture it my friend, it is your life, it is not the life of somebody else. I know we are used to receiving the blows life dishes out, even further, our pessimistic side has turned us into hard and thick skinned people that can receive many blows and not feel them very much. We wake up in the morning and are not surprised anymore when we start receiving them, but deep inside of us we say...enough, enough. The time to do something about it is now, now is the time to act, to build up the courage and the enthusiasm needed, to get the strength and move forward with it.

The cosmic teachers will guide you step by step, as they have guided all that were willing to progress and advance, as a mother would help a child when he wants to do the homework, as you would help anybody willing to try. I trust in you, my friend. I trust in your kindness; I trust in the creating spark that vibrates in you. I trust in your knowing how to do this.

Read this message as many times as you want and do not forget that the key parts are the idea, the emotion, and your action, your mind, the heart, and the body have to function all together. Never do anything against your emotions. Never do anything against your mind, for it will bring conflict and then the stronger force will arrive. Collect the other Principles because they are closely related to the Law of Cause and Effect. Make this the most important matter in your life. Make this your primary goal. If you do this you'll "make it."

THE PRINCIPLE OF HARMONY

Why do we have problems? Why do we struggle? Why can't we do things right? Why doesn't everything come out perfect instead of all the problems? Why, even with all the efforts, struggles and the good intentions we place in this life and our daily actions, we still don't have the peace and harmony, the tranquillity and well-being that we so much long for? I am certain that you have asked yourself these questions more than once. The reasons are many and in each case they are different. Even so, the fundamental reason is that we live outside the law. In a world of order in a perfect universe, human beings have their place. You have your place, and your life is governed by laws and principles, even though you are not aware of them. Peace, balance, harmony and well-being are the result of the application of the laws of life. No human being, no matter how capable or intelligent, will ever be able to achieve peace, balance and harmony, unless he consciously and subconsciously applies the blessed Laws our common Creator has given us for the accomplishment of our plan of life.

One of the these Laws, and one of the most important Principles that can produce such peace, tranquillity, harmony and well-being is the fourth (of the twelve) Principle created by the Cosmos to lighten the path for all good natured human beings.

Things go well when they proceed in unison. I repeat, the Principle says: Your actions will go well when they proceed and advance as a whole, together and harmoniously. Your goals will come to fruition much easier when you try to bring them through together in harmony. Things go well when they proceed as a group. Nowadays this is one of the hardest principles to carry to fruition because of the times we live in. What can we do to put this principle into practice, to place our life into harmony and reach the desired peace, happiness and balance for the fulfillment of our Cosmic Plan?

The first obstacle that comes to mind for the realization of this Principle is to consider the education we have received. In a material world such as ours, our parents and educators have placed their effort in making us see the importance of money in our lives. They have placed excessive effort and emphasis on this part of the whole to the detriment of the other parts that are as fundamental for our well-being as the material parts.

Second, the education we received disagrees with one or another of the necessary factors needed for the fulfillment of our success and well-being. Our parents insisted in providing us with an education as physical individuals and also insisted we prepare for some profession. But if we observe our surroundings, we can see many people with high level of economic, social and professional positions who do not possess peace, harmony or a sense of well-being. This you can attest to in your life. It's true in mine and true for the people around us, differing only in degree. Let's take as an example a married man with twelve children who spends his time taking care of only two or three of them, hardly paying any attention to the rest who could get sick for lack of care, or perhaps even die. This would be a terrible disgrace for the family and cause an imbalance in the man who was not conscious of this realm of his family life. How can this person advance? If he only takes care of two or three out of his twelve children? Doesn't this sound impossible? He can have two or three children well taken care of, and perhaps they will progress in life, but think of the sadness and conflicts of these three successful children when they observe their brothers, dirty, hungry and forgotten. How could there be peace, happiness, tranquility and harmony in the life of this man and his three successful children? The education we have received from our parents is similar to the case of the married man with 12 children because it has emphasized the importance of money and a profession, while totally ignoring the other factors necessary for a life with peace, harmony, tranquility and well being.

The fourth Principle states that things in your life go well when they march together as a group, referring specifically to the fact that you will do well if your twelve children advance together, if they are well taken care of, properly nourished, each according to their needs and if all are advancing as a group. This is the fourth Cosmic Principle in gathering of Light for the individual liberation of man.

My friend, inside your small world, you also have twelve children, twelve focuses of interest. But regretfully you are conscious of only a few, while the rest do not exist in your daily struggles; the rest are not present in your consciousness so you can't tend to them, if at all, you give them part of your time. Here is one of the biggest reasons for the violation of this fourth Principle, and thus of sorrow, of problems and of the lack of the peace, happiness and tranquillity we mentioned earlier. Let's see what these twelve children are, these twelve focuses of interest within us.

Get hold of paper and pencil and draw a big circle on a sheet of paper, as big as the sheet of paper. This circle represents your family and everything that you are. This circle represents the whole of your interests, your life, and also the wheel of a carriage. Divide this circle into 4 equal parts, two diameters crossing through the middle point. Write "Myself" in one of the four parts, which is where 4 of your favorite children are living, and of which you are not very aware of. In the second part write down "My Family" where 4 more of your children are and other very important interests and of which we are also not too close to. In the third part we will have a very important center of interest for your evolution, here write "My Fellow Human Beings." In the forth part write down "My World." Now observe carefully the whole of your life, it is made of yourself, your family, your fellow-mate, and your world. It is a perfect sphere, a perfect circle divided into four parts. Now, from the center of the circle to the edge of the circumference, make a scale from 100 where the line crosses the circumference to zero in the center. Do the same for the 4 lines. Each radius will be divided into 10 parts...10, 20, 30 and so forth until 100, where it reaches the circumference.

All right, now let's work it out. Let's see, how do you rate yourself? Be impartial and objective, be reasonable and fair, for on the account of these answers most of your life will depend. From zero to one hundred, if 100 you give full attention, harmonic and perfect; zero being the minimum, the least attention you can give yourself. So, from zero to 100, what kind of attention are you giving to yourself? What is it? Zero, 10, 40, 70, or even 100? Draw a line on the number that you consider to be right for you, this is your reference point. Let's do the same regarding the attention that you place on your family, from zero to 100. Also mark the sections you marked "Fellow-Mate" in the same way. You have graded your effort, how much you try and your dedication to yourself and to your fellow human beings. Now do the last part, the one you labeled "My World," where your Creator, your nature, your work, your society, and so forth are included.

Now then, in each of the four sections, draw a curved line parallel to the circumference and at the level you graded each section. Let's see now what kind of drawing you come up with. Happiness, peace, harmony and well being should be represented by a perfect circle so it can roll with little effort, and when it rolls everything works out well. Now let's see, what you have obtained in your analysis, is it a perfect circle? Not quite, right? It could roll partially and then stop, right? OK, all right my friend, I think you understand. I see you're getting the idea of the 4th Principle. Things go well when they march together, harmoniously. This does not mean that the focus of your interest has to be 100% in each of the parts of your life, it could be 20%. For example: draw a circle surrounding the four radiuses at the 20 level of the four sections you have been working with. Now, isn't this a perfect circle, a wheel that would have no trouble rolling? Isn't it a wheel that can produce harmony? Very well, I think you understand, I think that you clearly see, at least in a graphic way, the reason why the 4th Principle is one of the most important ones that rule human happiness - things go well when they march together, harmoniously.

What can we do to accomplish this and which are the obstacles that are in our way? First, visualize in your mind, for 49 days, this drawing you made; when you wake up and when you go to bed, twice a day, every day. You must be relaxed for 5 minutes, then shut your eyes and project the circle of your life onto your mental screen. Look at it in its 3 parts, the small circle at the 20 level you drew last, the other pseudo-circle, which is the representation of your life today (and has trouble rolling) and the other at 100%. Visualize the 4 parts for your world, your family, your fellow human beings and yourself...all rolling together. When you do this, breathe deeply and slowly, wish from the deepest part of your heart that the pseudo-circle will adjust to form a perfect circle, allowing you to move closer to the fulfillment of your perfect harmony.

The largest obstacle that you will find on your way to harmony and the fulfillment of the 4th Principle will be "your habits, what you are used to doing." You see, my friend, we are used to doing things our individual ways and dedicate time to the activities we prefer the most. We have to admit that what we like is not always what is best for us and others close to our life stream. Therefore, we have to apply our duty on the one side and balance it with our "preferred ways" on the other side, allowing us to change the ways that are leading us into a life lacking in balance and harmony. These "habits" I refer to are the "I have so much work to do,""So many things undone in the house, family,""appointments, etc.," Right? You know the routine. These are the things that asphyxiate our lives, everything is a pressure between us and our world! "I don't have any time left to dedicate to my fellow human beings, nor to my family and even less to myself.""From morning to night I work, I come home tired, and I need quiet to clear my mind.""I don't have time and I don't feel like doing anything." You recognize these comments, don't you? The pressures for material things are overwhelming. This is one of the responses that one hears every day in relation to the wheel of harmony, the wheel of the 4th Principle; and even though I know this is true, my friend, I also know that if you are able to wake up to the desire of balance, peace, tranquillity and harmony within your essence, you will be able to do it.

You can have all the necessary strength to start eliminating the ways that lead you to be careless or being inactive towards those extremely important parts of your evolution. Unless, that is, you are satisfied with living with nine of your children dying and only taking care of three during 90% of your time. But I consider that you are a sensible person, interested in your evolution, a person ready for this work and the effort required. Let's see what we can we do to realize our own wheel of harmony. Let's see how can we change our habits. First, for 49 days and every day at the end of the working day, you have to do a self analysis, an impartial and conscientious analysis. You must honestly observe yourself. Ask yourself this same question everyday at the end of your day, "Where did I place my highest interest today?" "Where did I place most of my attention and to what did I dedicate most of my time." Write them down. Have you given time for yourself, your family, your fellow beings or to the world? At the end of each day, make for yourself a wheel of harmony for that day. A wheel per day, a circle divided into 4 parts, with a scale of zero to 100, evaluate yourself and consider the results of your drawing. Observe yourself during 49 days by analyzing yourself at the end of each day. "To what have I dedicated today my time and effort?"

Dear friend, if you carefully follow the instructions given in this first part of this 4th Principle you will get to know yourself much better; you will be aware of where you have been placing your time and efforts. By this method you are going to be able to acknowledge the factors that influence your life, and that hold you back from your peace, success, harmony and tranquility, and from your development of this 4th Principle.

Remember, things go well when they move together as a group. What is the meaning of this? This means that after I spend the whole day working, overlooking my health, I could find myself in a hospital bed in a few days. The whole effort I put into my work will end up paying doctor's bills and for medicine. We have to give proper attention to our mates, our children, parents, friends and our own advancement. We are not an island; we cannot live alone, not taking care of the world we live in nor having a relationship with our Creator. We would not know anything regarding how our mind, spirit and physical body works. How can we expect peace, harmony and tranquillity when we disregard so many aspects that are so important to us?

My friend, we have all gone through this. You need your physical body and your balanced emotions healthy and vibrant; they are very important in life; they are the cause of creativity. A harmonious mind, without conflicts and contradictions can be a marvelous instrument in the creation of everything you want. A strong will and spirit that can control your mind, emotions and body, and balance them, can give you command of your life, perfect relations with your wife and children, with these same people with whom you have been planting your seeds of cause and from whom you hope for a harvest of good fruit. You can achieve a better and more organized world and a radiant and balanced economy. You need all of these. You just cannot continue dedicating 90% of your efforts to such a limited part of yourself and your world. This is where the secret of harmony is, the secret of balance. By the means of the daily analysis over 49 days and through the visualization of the wheel of harmony - twice a day over 49 days - you will find out and become conscious of yourself and of where you are placing your efforts.

Are you going to permit your "ways" to slowly destroy your life? Will you disregard the most important factors for your happiness and success? I know you will not! I well know that you are a careful and intelligent person. Even so, let me warn you, my friend, that this is not easy at all, no. We have done this ourselves so we can tell you, if you have the will to do it, how to accomplish it. Prepare yourself for quite a bit of effort and work. You have to do it as if you were to prepare and plant a garden that will give you fruit for quite some time. But we guarantee that it is worth it to you in the end. It is worth doing! It is worth doing because it is the key to your success, the key to your harmony, and happiness, of your well being and the well being of many other people who are a part of your world. So start, this Principle will help make your life much better.

Well then, go to a bookstore and get yourself a thick binder and place in it 120 sheets of paper. Divide this binder into the above mentioned 4 parts, each part having 30 pages. The first part will be titled "Myself," the second "My Family," the third "My Fellow Human Beings," and the last of the four "My World." This binder will represent your reflections, your goal plans, and your action plans.

Now, let's take the first part labeled "Myself". Let's divide this part into 4 parts as well. The first is "My Physical Body," the second "My strength to Do and my emotions," the third part "The Ideas to do It," and the fourth part "My Spirit - My will to do it." As you can see, my friend, here we're saying you are a physical body, an emotional body, a mental and a spiritual body. These 4 of your parts must be perfectly balanced and will require the maximum of your attention. If you are in harmony, if you are well, you can pay your full attention to your family, your work, your fellow human beings. But if you're not well, you're going to miss much in this life.

Now, do the analysis of your physical, emotional and will power "habits". Ask yourself the following questions: "Are my ways tending towards harmony" in the physical part; which are my "habits" that harm me? Write them all down. What could I do to improve my physical health. Then go to the emotional part. What wears down my strength? What wears down my emotions? Anger, upsetting situations, jealousy? etc, etc. Which are my emotional ways that wear down my strength? What can I do, which new ways can I improve my emotions? Let's go now to the mental part and ask yourself the same questions. Record and review your answers with interest and care, identifying which are negative thoughts that bother and hold you down. Which positive thoughts do you have that could form into habits until a new mental equilibrium is accomplished? In the next section let's cover spirituality, ask "what is my level of will?""What can I do to develop a stronger will?" "Which are the habits that undermine my will?""Under what conditions do I not express will?"

My friend, I'm going to share with you a secret that will help you reach a perfect equilibrium between your wanting, your knowing, your strength and your doing. Stop doing all the things you like and start doing everything you dislike. Surprising, isn't it! This exercise will help you to develop your will by renouncing every physical, mental and spiritual thing you like; it is the key to obtain a very strong will that will allow you to reach harmony between your wanting, knowing and doing.

Now let's go to the section called "my family" and lets work in the same manner. Write down all your responsibilities to your parents, your brothers and sisters, wife and children. Record their names and ask yourself "are my habits with each of these persons building or maintaining harmony between us?" "Which new habits could I develop with the strength of my will in order to improve our relations and comply with my responsibilities to these people?"

Next section: Relationships with your fellow human beings. Write down the names of every person you have contact with every day, ask yourself the same questions as above, and work to make your adjustments.

Now the section we call "my word," divide into four parts, "my duty with nature,""my duty towards my fellow beings,""my duties towards my own activities," and "my duties to my Creator." Again ask the same questions; "are my habits building harmony?""Where do I have conflicts?""What do I do that damages the harmony in my relations?" "Am I fulfilling my duties, what more can I do?""What new habits could I develop to improve in all departments of my life?" My friend, by asking yourself these questions and then analyzing the answers will allow you to set new goals and identify your purpose. From here it is not difficult to define your life plan, the one purpose for your life. Record the things you have to do and classify them by their priority into Urgent, Important and Needed columns. Now you will have a more complete and clear picture of your life plan. Allow me to warn you, unless you do all the work described previously and unless you have the courage to be impartial and subjective with yourself, you will not be ready to take care of yourself.

Keep in mind that you are the center of this circle. Therefore, your answers must be honest and sincere in describing all your habits or "ways" that can disturb or take away the harmony from your life. And work most of all in the relationship between your will, your desires, your knowing, your mind, your emotions, and your physical body. You must accomplish control and self discipline, self correction of yourself, your emotions, and your mind. You are not your physical body, you are not your emotions, you are not your mind, you are not your thoughts. You are the Life Spirit that possesses the power and the will of its Creator. This is the great key for yourself to become harmonized; try it.

Get yourself a drawing sheet, with the following dimensions: 24 inches in length by 18 in width. Draw in it at maximum size your wheel of harmony. First divide the circle into 4 parts, that is 4 radius lines starting from the center. Then, on the part dedicated to yourself, draw 4 more radius lines dividing it into 4 equal parts: one for your mind, one for your will, another for your mind and emotions, and the last one for your physical body. Do the same with the rest of the distributions on the rest of the circle.

The zero point is the center and the circumference is 100. After you have structured your binder and have completed your analysis, after you have clarified clearly in your mind what are the things holding you back from reaching the light, once you have it quite clear about what is it that you have to do in each department of your life, and once you have it organized according to a scale of values from the most urgent to the most necessary, you will draw your own scale inside the circle. Then you will have a map; a guide and a vision to meditate on every day, to visualize daily for many months of work.

My dear friend, this is not made for the lazy, nor for those used to failure. This work is for the people who are awake to their reality, that have realized that their lives can be lost to them. Days seem to go by in less time than we can blink an eye. If one has a sick physical body, that person would lack the physical strength to do anything. Without emotional strength there would be not enough courage to start new goals nor carry through with previous ones. Under these conditions, the mind has trouble holding positive thoughts, it tends to dwell on the negative and helping the suffering along. Then your consciousness tends to become dormant. My friend, days go by fast, this I can guarantee you. Your negative habits harm you just the same. I mean, the habits that damage your life from the relations with your family, your work, your neighbors, and your friends. Everyday they consolidate and crystallize even more within your system, and every day that passes it becomes harder and harder to change them. Things go well when they march as a group. Remember, your goals will be fulfilled if you dedicate the same effort to all of them and to each as well. It is not important if you do not reach the 100% mark. If you first harmonize them at 10, then at 20, 30, 40 and so on, but always in a way that can last, but together in harmony, peace and balance.

It is a matter of starting. First, correct the easiest habits to change, by doing this you will learn. Do you think you are ready? Yes, you are going to go though with this 4th Principle. I foresee it and think you will be able to carry it through. So I am going to give to you a very important key to use in changing your habits.

Relax, shut your eyes, and visualize yourself on your mental screen. Visualize one of your "ways" that you detest the most. Let's suppose that you are used to jumping in anger when furious. Visualize yourself on your mental screen with somebody talking to you, and that you are starting to get angry; then visualize yourself shouting, screaming and fighting. Feel this anger towards the person that is with you, that has caused this anger in you; feel the violence. Watch yourself as you start calming down as a result of your "will". Visualize on your mental screen the orders you are giving yourself, see your face muscles relaxing and starting to smile as you say you're sorry. "Wish" to do it, wish it from the deepest part of your heart that this reaction of yours will change.

Repeat this exercise for 7 days, and do the same with each of your habits. Remember, always feel repulsed towards the habit you wish to change. Put your best effort into this desire from your soul to become the person that you are projecting onto your mental screen. See yourself being the calm and serene person instead of the person with the nasty habit you want to eradicate from your life. Do it in relation to your physical, mental, emotional and will bodies, and then in relation to your spouse, your children, your work. You can, through this system, build a new you, a new you in harmony that will be born from the rubble of the individual you now are.

My friend, we have traveled this road, we have been able to accomplish this too, so we know you will also be able to do it. We not only have done it but are fulfilling our agreement with those who have preceded us by transmitting to you this same system of bringing your life into harmony. You have all possibilities open to you. No obstacle can delay your evolution towards the acquisition of this Principle, towards peace and towards Harmony if you will it.

Now then, what I have left to tell you, my friend, is the price. Yes, the price, for everything has a price. This is not a price in currency, but a formal promise on your part; the promise of an adult and mature person that has respect for his word. The promise is to transmit and teach this principle to the 7 people closest to you. Teach them the secrets of harmony through this 4th Principle. Things go well when they march together. Among your goals, set this one up among the others you have already identified, the goal to teach the wheel of harmony to 7 people of your liking, so then they can as well transmit the procedure to some other seven close to them. This way we will be creating a better world, a world in harmony, a world in light, the same world conceived by our common Creator.

Thank you, my vibration will be with you even though I do not know you. Each individual who makes an effort to carry through with the Laws and Principles is part of the Cosmic Plan, is with us, and is one of us.

May you receive the blessings from our common Creator, may you receive the Light, and may He provide you with courage and strength to start this important change in your life. Thank you.

Good morning, friend. You are my life companion, a companion on the path, a struggling companion, and I greet you as such! In the name of all the people of the eons, centuries and ages, the people that have received this message and have reflected and meditated, and decided to carry it through in their lives. In the name of all of these people I greet you.

My friend, can you mentally review everything that has happened in your life during the past week? Isn't it true that you have experienced pleasant and unpleasant times? Isn't it true that you have enjoyed certain happy occasions, and as well somewhat sad ones, or adverse situations, and just about everything else. And it is the same for everybody, you see...this life has everything, everything a mind can imagine; its full of all kinds of experiences.

We live in a dual planet under the Law of Polarity. Everything is made of two parts. Good and bad. Hot and cold. Hunger and satisfaction. To be alone or to have company. To be sad or to be happy. To feel vigorous or tired. Good mood or bad mood. To tell the truth or lie. To opt for right or wrong, the real or the illusion, the wanting to do and the act of doing and so forth. Our entire life is made of these dualities or polarities.

Now then, how do you respond to these experiences? What happens to you when you come across an unfortunate situation? How do you face it? Are you afraid? We all are! Afraid of criticism, afraid of loneliness, fear of lacking things. Fear of being rejected, of failure, sickness, old age, and death. Many fears are located in the deepest part of our hearts. We also want things; we desire things. We have all kinds of wishes and needs. Everyday the wheel of life will put you before these situations and, according to your essence, according to your being, you are attracting that which you love and that which you fear. You try to run away from what you dislike, that which causes you pain, suffering, sadness; you look instead to that which you find pleasant, right? Yes, my friend, we are this way. But if we select from our situations those things we like and run away from those situations we fear, those that are painful, we give ourselves over to involution, or experience regression in our lives. The only result will be to go backwards into more and more of the same. Isn't it paradoxical? Think about it...and you'll see that this way will take us backwards.

You must be asking yourself if there is a way to change this situation, that is, if it is possible for the wheel of life to bring us only whatever we like. No, my friend, this is not possible. The wheel carries everything we need in this life; it has everything in its dual form for us to learn from. No, its not possible my friend. So then, what is the answer you ask...My friend, we live in a Cosmos of order, in a Universe created by an intelligent Creator; and this Cosmos is governed by Laws and Principles. These are perfect Laws and wise Principles that, if a person gets to know, understand and practice them in his life, instead of falling backwards, he will simply move forward. He will experience liberation as an individual. He will free himself from the wheel of circumstances and events. This person will himself become the master of circumstances and will be capable of managing himself when facing any situation that shows itself in his life

The fifth of the twelve Principles for the liberation of man is the appropriate principle to handle the so much desired liberation of the person, plus the control over himself and towards all other circumstances in life. The Principle states the following: "If the dualities (good-bad, up-down, etc.) that life presents you do not bother or upset your life, you have overcome life's contradictions." I repeat, the fifth Principle states:"If the dual nature of this life is not an obstacle to you in life, you have overcome its contradictions." What is the precise meaning of this? What is the meaning of night and day, and the summer and winter being right or wrong for you? It simply means that if you can adjust and feel well to night and day, to hot and cold, to summer and winter, to hunger or not, to be alone or not, to be with or without money, in any occasion, and that you can remain firm and in control, no matter what the occasion, you will have already overcome the contradictions of life.

I can hear you wondering...Why do we have to overcome the contradictions? Because a person full of contradictions has not overcome these situations, has not balanced them, simply put is going backwards, or at least not advancing in his life. This person is trapped in a vicious circle.

What is a contradiction? It is when your mind knows that something must be done, and your emotions will not do it. This is a contradiction. It is when in your emotional center you feel like doing something but your mind knows that you should not do it. This struggle is known as a contradiction. It is like having in front of you a delicious dish, but in your mind you have made the decision to eat less and should not take it. Here you have a contradiction between the mind and the body. We are basically made of three centers, plus a will. We have a physical body; a body of desires, an emotional body where our power and strength is; a mental body where we have the thoughts and ideas, our goals; and the will, more or less strong according to the individual. The contradiction arises when the will, the conscious part of you, knows that something must be done, and any of the other centers refuses to do it. This is a contradiction. Your needs are in your mind. That which you love and fear is in your emotions. Your physical body is used to tastes and feelings, and it is ruled by five senses: taste, smell, touch, vision and hearing. And these five senses turn into sex, which is the sixth sense. These six senses connect you with the world about you. Your emotional center, which is somewhat impulsive, is the one that produces fear in you and your mind, which carries all the ideas and thoughts you have received since you started learning, participates with your other parts. You have constant clashes between your mind, your emotions, your body, and your will. This is the area of your contradictions.

This fifth Principle is saying that if you're able to balance the polarities, the dualities, that life throws at you in your daily life experiences; if you can adapt to them, simply put, you are able to overcome your contradictions and are on your way to become a free person. When a person remains unable to overcome his contradictions, between his body, mind, emotions, and his will towards a common end, this person has not yet arrived at his liberation and needs to work in this area.

My friend, we all have contradictions. We are all full of them, but in itself this is not the problem. The problem is not to be aware that we have them; the problem is if we can wake up to them, to realize that contradictions are a part of this life, that they exist so that we can learn what to do about them. Let's look at these contradictions and see what they're made of. What is day and night? Why do we understand them to be different? Get a stick, any stick. Hold it in your hand at one end, you choose; call one night and the other day. The whole stick is 24 hours. One end can be called cold, the other hot, and in the middle it is warm. One end could be the light, the other darkness, and in the middle, twilight. At one end you could have pleasure and in the other pain, and so on. Now, this stick which represents all things also has each end representing one of the centers within us. The day could be your mind, while the night could be your emotions, and the body the middle point. Think about this, for it is extremely important for your understanding and for you to later master this fifth Principle. Remember, to go forward you will have to overcome your contradictions. Our mind has its part in our dualities, we think about comfort, wealth, love; we think about success; we think about kindness. All of these extremes are in our minds, but our emotional center has something different that it contributes to our contradictions. It thinks in terms of fear, of failure, sickness, being unable to pay the bills, the spouse might run away, children are not learning, I might be fired from work, and on, and on, and on. There are thousands and thousands of bits of information in your mind, and all of them are extremes; thousands of ideas in your emotions and they also are all extremes too. And then there are thousands, of habits, all mixed within your physical body, bringing out your tendencies. This information or data, which resides in your emotional center is female in nature. The information that resides in your mind is male. To conciliate, or balance, the contradictions between the two is to marry them so they can give birth to a child which would be the harmony with both, and in this way you will have overcome a contradiction. How do you do this? Let's assume that in a given moment you were sad; try to remember such a moment and hold it in your mind. Let's see how the fifth Principle can help us with this instead of just feeling sad and miserable. If you think of your stick, you'll see that on the opposite side of sadness is happiness; automatically your feeling of sadness will be changed into something between the two, overcoming the original contradiction. If over and over, and for each time you have the tendency to feel sad, or any other extreme, you do this, you will overcome your contradictions. This is how the great secret of the fifth Principle and the principle of liberation helps you to adjust to your inner life. You must adapt.

My friend, I repeat, don't be worried by the fact that you are full of contradictions. On the contrary, for the more contradictions a person carries, the wealthier that person is. A large amount of mental information carried by a person means that person has had many experiences in life, giving him a wealth of experience stored in his mental, emotional and physical centers. Such a person is wealthy. The opposite has to also be true - few experiences, little information stored in the centers yielding few contradictions makes that person poor. A person, to achieve liberation, must have complete self control, a full control of circumstances within his/her little world by having overcome all contradictions.

This work which we're outlining for you in this fifth Principle can last you many years. This is not a job for a few days, nor for failures; this is a task for people who don't want to continue the way they are now. It is for those who want to experience evolution, who want to become better people, better citizens, better parents, better husbands, better friends, better companions, and have in them a strong desire to learn, to act and to evolve. It is for people who are tired of swinging like a pendulum between joy and sadness, failure and accomplishment, fighting and agreements, of feeling well today and indisposed tomorrow. The wild mood swings that life seems to throw at us is not for those who want to understand the laws that govern duality, our polarities, the wild pendulum swings of life.

My friend, get yourself a paper and pencil. Write down the tendencies and the tastes of your physical body. What do you like to smell? What do you like to taste? What do you like to touch? What do you like to hear? And what do you like to watch? Then, what do you dislike physically? What is it that you do not like to hear,? that you do not like to watch, eat or touch? Then do the same for your emotional center. What fears do you have? What do I fear? Write down what you do not want. What is it that you do not love? Write them down as well. Then write down everything that you love; all that you want emotionally.

Then let's go to the mental part. What are your favorite thoughts ? What are the thoughts that keep you positive? What are the thoughts that make you a pessimist? What do you criticize in others? Write down the names of seven people that you know well, and record what you frequently criticize about them; then everything that you like about those people. Also, write down what you most criticize about our society. What is it that you like the most about our society? What do you largely complain about the world? nature? and then the items that you like the most about the same. What is it that you do not want to happen to you under any circumstances? What do you most want to happen to you? All of these questions and answers you must work at for the next 49 days. Every single day during 49 days you must ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly, just as if it was always the first time. This will show you what kind of information you have within you; in your mind, in your emotions, your physical body. You will understand your extremes; the polarities you live with. Once you see what your contradictions are, you will have taken the first step towards freedom from them. You must be fair; you must be unbiased and objective. This means you must ask the questions and give the answers as if you would be making this analysis for some other person. You must start from the principle that your body is not you. As if it was the body of John Brown, with the tastes and emotions of John Brown, or the emotions of Charles Smith, and the ideas of Michael Morrison; that is, as if it was not you. This is fundamental, in fact it is the key; and remember that during the 49 days, you have to do this analysis. At the end of each day, get paper and pencil, and ask yourself the following question: Which events and circumstances have I come across today? Have I liked them? And which ones have I disliked? From which ones did I want to run away? And which ones have I looked for? To which of my centers does this situation pertain? Was my reaction to that situation mental, emotional or physical? If I spent time looking for something, was this an emotional, mental or physical reaction? And don't forget the situations related to sexual activity; remember they are the joining of the three centers. The sexual center is the result of the joining of the mind, emotions and physical body.

My friend, you must be patient with yourself. What you find in your body, your mind and your emotions is not important. What your fears are is not important, nor are your expectations. What you're made of does not matter; neither the information within you; that same information that came through your five senses from your life experiences. What does matter is that you can manage these things.

Dear friend, the second part of this Principle is the fifth step to be accomplished, which leads to liberation as an individual, so he can own and govern himself before all circumstances of his life. Remember, this Principle states that if you are not bothered by your life situations, mental, emotional, physical, external or internal, you have overcome your contradictions, and will be a man or woman with free will, with freedom of choice, and can have the obedience of his or her body, mind and emotions. Such a person that can take advantage of any circumstance that the wheel of life can and will place before them. This will be a person no longer looking for individual or particular tastes. A person that has understood that behind the taste for something good there is the bad taste of its opposite. A human being who is aware that behind the desire for something there is another side must come with it, and that he will also get it too because of the laws of life. You should meditate and think about this. Visualize yourself as a free person, an individual who eats whatever is presented to him, who does not ask for special dishes but accepts anything that is offered; an open minded person that can defend himself in any forthcoming situation; a person that can understand any fear or worry; a human being that can put aside any desire; an individual that can think anything he wants to think about, and that knows what to do with the "thoughts" that enter his mind from the external world; a person that feels at ease with anybody, without any consideration to culture, social political or educational differences; a person that feels fine if he is under the rain, whether is hot or cold; a person that knows what to do if he has a coin, or a million coins, in his pocket; a person whose internal state of mind does not depend on situations, or circumstances, nor events; not anything but on himself and his own will; a man that can handle any activity; a person that can handle any other person; a human being that can set his mind into doing something and will be able to carry it through with the persistence and the tenacity is necessary to complete the task; a person that wakes up in the morning with no fears towards life, without worries of what the day is going to bring him; an individual that is looking into the creation of situations and circumstances, according to his needs, according to what he has planned to meet his goals; a person that is awake. This my friend is an approximate description of what a free person is like. Would you like to be this person? Very well, if your decision is "yes" then you must finish the exercises on the first part, after the 49 days of that part have passed, after you have seen that you are tied down by many tastes, that you are a slave of many worries, fears, situations, and in most cases you do not look for new experiences, but keep trying to repeat the same ones over and over like a machine, the same situations that you know are not going to hurt you.

My friend, you have been what is called being dead, like a vegetable, or like a person who watches the same movie every day. Do you like to watch the same movie every day? Do you repeat over and over your favorite dishes? Nothing is new. You repeat every day the same situations, look for the same circumstances, the same people. You are a slave of your tastes, your contradictions and your habits. Now then, make a comparison from the type of human being you are today with the prototype of the free individual we indicated earlier. Simply stated, the difference is only a little work, some work from a serious person, from a person that can understand, a person that is capable of deciding to make something better out of his life.

Open up a notebook, divide it into three parts: A part for the physical body, the second part for the mental, and the third for the emotional body. Gather the analysis you did during the 49 days of observation you made on yourself, both internal and external, the analysis of your tastes and dislikes, etc. Write them all down on this pages so that you can have a fairly complete image and idea of where you are standing and where you will want to go from here. Then, with the same seven people that you previously selected, the people that you trust, people that you see often set your mind into observing their tastes, fears and dislikes.

Everything that you criticize in the world is in you. All faults that you find in the world are within you. All the faults of society you have also. All faults that your fellow human beings have, you have them too. Let's call these marks on a stick. An example: If you criticize a friend about being selfish, it is because you are selfish. This means that in your emotional center, there is a mark on the tip of the stick called selfishness. Your calling your friend selfish is an internal hint, an invitation, for your will to decide to be the opposite, which will then create the opposite in your mind. The selfishness and the altruism will conciliate to a middle point that will then stop being either but a point in between. You will have conciliated the contradiction between your mind and your emotions.

So all faults or defects, everything that you dislike, you have within yourself as an extreme, and you must search for the possibility and opportunity to balance them now that you recognize them. Do this, then be alert and attract new extremes and balance them. This is the road we took, you can too. The same goes for everything that you like in your mind, emotions and body, because they are opposed to the situations that the wheel of life will bring your way too. What would you do in these situations? Avoid them? No, my friend, I will give you a way. Let's assume you dislike heat, and suddenly, the wheel of life places you in circumstances where the weather is very hot. If at this moment you remember and decide to carry through with this message, you will simply ask yourself: what is the good about this? What do I like about all this heat? How can I take advantage of this situation? You see, with this approach you are not avoiding a situation, you are not bothered because its hot; on the contrary, you have become conscious of the need to balance the "bad heat' with the "good," solving your contradiction. In every situation, no matter how horrible it may be, the seed of balance lies in it. Before every unpleasant situation you encounter, every occasion that places you in a difficult position, ask yourself the question: What is good about this? If you do it honestly and with sincerity, then you will immediately be able to see the good within a bad situation. This is the secret key to adaptation, the secret key to adjustment. After a fair number of times that you use this technique, you will notice your activities will be relatively free from worries or fear because you will know what action to take in each circumstance. How will you know what to do? What's the good of this situation? What will I learn from it? Even if you only know that it is something you do not like, your mind and spirit will bring out for you many alternative answers or ideas that will make you feel you're working and solving the situation well, even in the worst of situations.

My friend, the second part of executing this plan consists of the following things. For 49 days, every night and every morning, when you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning, you will have to relax, shut your eyes and meditate about everything that you love, and about everything that you fear. Example, shut your eyes, be calm and relaxed, and have your notebook handy. Ask yourself, what do I want? Let's suppose I want my salary raised. Start meditating about the opposite, what is going to happen if I do not get the raise. Let's suppose that you are afraid of criticism, then ask yourself: What happens if I am criticized? See it on your mental screen, a picture where you can see yourself being criticized, where you are being told that you are lacking in something, that you are a horrible person. Visualize this as if it is a movie but do not identify with yourself. Then, suddenly, you'll see what's missing for you to balance this situation. What do you need in this condition? Right, the opposite of being criticized, and from it you can work out the contradiction. Out of what is good or bad in your mind, you are placing the opposite into your emotions, and vice versa. Imagine that you are eating something, something that you really dislike; see it in the eyes of your imagination, then during the day keep on requesting this dish. This is how to do it my friend, this is the way.

For 49 days do this for 5 minutes in the morning and for the same amount of time when you go to bed every night. Include all things that you wrote about in your analysis. Another example would be that you are afraid of dying. Well then, place this into mediation, visualize on your mental screen that you are dying in the middle of terrible suffering. This way you are facing the fear of death. The key to this system is that the mind cannot differentiate between a real and an imaginary experience. Another example, suppose you start to think about a person you like a lot at this time. Shut your eyes and visualize him/her in your mind. What happens? Isn't it true that your body and emotions start to react? Isn't it true ? But it's only a picture in your mind, it is not a reality! But for our system it is as if it was a live and real experience. Make a routine of this every day when you wake up and when you go to bed a night. Place yourself in front of everything that you fear, or dislike and to everything that do not love. Also place yourself before the possibility of not getting what you like, love or desire. Then be alert during your day, look for those situations. Face these situations with a new confidence and when you are in front of something adverse, ask yourself "What is good about this?" "What can I get out of this which will benefit me?"

If for you all is well with the day and night, summer and winter, being satisfied or hungry, poor or loaded with money and so forth, and if you are in harmony and peace in all these situations, you will have conciliated the contradictions in your life. You will be a person who can act as needed. It all depends on what you do with these instructions and guidance found in this message and your reaction towards them. Are you a hard skinned person? Do unexpected events bother you? Or are you the type that is hurt by the blows of life, or the type of person that is not satisfied with his current life?

This fifth Principle is closely related to the previous four and perhaps you are already aware of them. But just in case you are not, please find the previous four Principles, and then try to get the next seven so you can have the complete set of 12. The twelve Principles of the Liberation of Man are closely connected. They have an intimate connection; all carry concrete action plans for you or any other human being of good will who has understood that we live in a Cosmos of order. It is for those who suspect that things are not gotten only because they want them or feel they would like having them, but suspect everything carries a price with it, a fair price, and is governed by precise laws. If you work with these laws and are ready to pay the price, you will get what you want and much more. You will become a free person, master over your circumstances, of your mind, and of your emotions.

Now comes the third part, the implementation of this 5th Principle. It is very simple. You will not succeed with the first two parts unless you are ready to pay the price, and the price is simple. The price is not in any coin; it is in the same way we have transmitted it to you. When you get the benefit from it and become liberated, give it to seven of the closet people to you, people like you. These too are people who are swinging on their own pendulum between light and darkness, knowing and not knowing, and need your help in putting it to work in their lives. Perhaps you were fortunate to receive this message. Will they receive it too? Wouldn't you like it if your world was full of light? Wouldn't you like to be a free man being among free people? Or do you want to be a free person surrounded by friends, acquaintances and family that are slaves of their circumstances, of their tastes and fears, and of their ideas?

My friend, I know you are judicious and understanding because you have continued up to this point. I will leave the rest up to your conscience. I will leave the rest to your kindness, to the innate kindness that our common Creator has planted in the spirit of each of his creatures. The contents of this message is waiting for you. It is for you to use in your life plan, your part in the plan of creation that our common Father is hoping you will accomplish. This he expects from you. It is for your future action. Yours, individually yours, like a perfect suit for you. Your plan can not start overcoming your mind, your emotions, unless you own yourself and your circumstances. It is senseless if it reaches you and you remain content being a slave of your mind, your body and your emotions, and the circumstances of the wheel of life. But if you have been searching for years for something you feel is "yours," well, please know it does exist, and yes, it is for you. You will be in harmony and productive, and will contribute in making this world a perfect world, such as it was when it was conceived and created by our common Creator. We ourselves doubted when we were at your point in life, but we meditated and worked at it. We paid our price. When we finally comprehended, we received our life plans. Know that you can too. A plan that benefits you directly, and your small world, it also benefits your community and benefits humanity in general. It benefits nature, something that you have been waiting for thousands and thousands of years, reincarnation after reincarnation. This can be yours now; it only depends on you. In your hands are the Principles and how to incorporate them into your life. You can make your life into a heaven or hell; it is up to you. Remember, in you beats the spark of your Creator, the all powerful spark, almighty, unlimited in knowledge. It could guide you in the process of your moving into the realization of the Laws of Life. Success does not depend on luck; success, harmony, peace, balance, the elimination of problems and conflicts depend on including the laws of light in your life. You have in your hands one of these laws, apply it day after day, morning and night. Do not permit yourself to judge and criticize. Be especially alert to the side in you that thinks it knows everything. We passed through the point where you are now, but you do not know how to arrive at the place where we are now. So be aware of the enemy within you, the side that always tries to keep you grounded in failure and ignorance. We know this is hard, so we ask you to be patient with yourself. If you do not apply it your first try, do it over and over again until you do because you will not experience evolution unless you walk through this door. If you do not do it today, you will have to do it some other day. The only way to be able to get through it is by being governed by Laws and Principles. There is a reason why our common Creator has provided them for our use. Otherwise how would we be able to find the way back home? And remember, part of the price you pay for having received these messages is to help seven other people to accomplish their liberation. So, my friend, this is all in your hands now, may God bless you, care for you and keep you. May you receive the light, the courage and strength when you start to take the necessary steps. Thank you.

THE PRINCIPLE OF RENUNCIATION

Greetings, greetings, my friend. Whoever you are, greetings. You are a person with a mind, emotions, a physical body and spirit. A man who loves, works, struggles, and suffers. Why do we suffer, my friend, what is the root of suffering? Why must we suffer? Why shouldn't we suffer? Why do we consider suffering so horrendous? Why do we run away from suffering? Where does suffering come from? How does it reach our lives? What can we do to stop suffering all together? These and many more questions and doubts about suffering touch the deepest parts of the human being. You most certainly have suffered, will suffer and most probably will continue suffering, the same as every other human being. This statement seems pessimistic, but it is not, because suffering is based on Laws and Principles (I can already hear your protest, my friend). You're probably asking, "does the Law say that one must suffer?" Most certainly not! What does the Law state then? Do you know which Law relates to suffering? Do you practice it in your life? What are you doing concretely in order to not suffer ?

This sixth Principle for the Liberation of Man, the Principle of Light, the Principle of Clarity, the Principle that converts a man, who is a slave to his pain, into a Free Man, is the answer to the previously asked questions. This Principle says that if you pursue pleasure you chain yourself to pain and suffering. But if you do not harm your mental, emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual lives, and if you do not harm your fellow human beings, you can freely enjoy anything. This is the sacred sixth Principle. The Principle that if you reach its full comprehension by reflecting and meditating on it, practice it in your life, and teach it to others, it will make you a man free from pain and suffering.

If you pursue the pleasures of life you will be chained to pain and suffering; but if you do not harm your physical health, emotional, mental, sexual and spiritual bodies, and if you do not harm others, you can do anything you want. My friend, this is the Principle with which we will work in this message.

Let's see, what is the real meaning of, "If you pursue pleasure you will be chained to pain and suffering." Let's analyze this first part of the Principle. If you pursue pleasure does not mean that you cannot enjoy life, because you can. But under certain conditions the importance lies in that you do not pursue it. The importance lies in that you should not have it constantly on your mind that your life not be based on just the pursuit of pleasure; that your mind, emotions and body are not permanently aware of pleasure so you do not make a god out of it. This is what pursuit means, that you are not thinking constantly of pleasure, that you are not preoccupied with its search, that you are not making sacrifices on its behalf, that you do not harm anybody in your search for pleasure, that you do not turn into plain human flesh, that you do not loose your dignity or sell your soul to the devil for it, not forgetting your engagements or duties, or commitments or obligations. The meaning of pursuing pleasure, above all else, is to fall into its arms and become a slave to it, making it your god, making it be an aspect of your life, like the pleasure of food, pleasure of comfort, pleasure of sexual behavior, pleasure of laziness and abandonment. Do not pursue pleasure for itself, or it will become your god and you will become its slave. Pleasure is a merciless god. The weak person that surrenders to it pays a horrible price - real suffering and pain.

Yes, my friend, if you would know that pleasure and pain, pleasure and suffering, are two faces of the same coin, two ends of the same stick so to speak, and you have one because you don't want the other. You seek enjoyment. You pursue pleasure. Very well, you will reach a point where it is not there anymore, and then the god of pleasure will present his invoice. The more you enjoyed your pleasure, the more you became a slave of it, the larger the invoice will be, the bigger your pain and the more your suffering. The more you search for this pleasure, the more pain you will come across. Pleasure and suffering; two faces of the same coin.

My friend, have you recently experienced a situation involving pleasure ? Lets see, get yourself a paper and pencil and start to recall and think with me -- let's ask the following question: "What pleasures did I pursue?" Come on, let's release the ties of our memory, we do not want to permit the god of pleasure to affect our memory. What kind of pleasure have I been pursuing today? On what pleasures is my mind fixed on? I will give you a hint.... everything that charms you and turns into a habit is a pleasure. For instance, music can turn into a pleasure, and we can pursue it, spending half of our income on it and avoiding other engagements to enjoy it. Cars, the house, furniture, clothing and food that we cannot afford; physical pleasures, emotional, sexual, mental and sick pleasures. There are other kinds too, such as making others suffer, making others become impatient, not working, ignoring duties and responsibilities, ignoring your fellow citizens, society, humanity, not giving credit to our Father what is his - these are pleasures too. How about doing whatever one wants, not following laws, justifying behaviors, a way of life based on excuses? All of these are small and large pleasures. Yes, my friend, the list is very long. But if you are one of the people that really wants to evolve, one who has already experienced the bitter taste the god of pleasure has for us, you know what I'm talking about. Well, what about suffering, what can it be? It's the same thing, and I am sure you have tasted it too. The god of pleasure, along with its inseparable friend the god of suffering, are playing with you, as they do with 95% of humanity. If you are already a slave of the gods of pleasure and suffering, if you are already aware of their tremendous power and of your great weakness, of your lack of resistance to the bitter sweet tastes of this god, this demanding god, this god that can afford the luxury of giving you a candy or a chocolate that is sweet for a few seconds and bitter thereafter.

If you are aware and awake to this fact, then you can follow this advise and perform the detailed analysis of all your past pleasures and of those you continue to hold today; even those you plan to take on. Remember, pleasure infiltrates all aspects of life, from sleeping an extra 5 minutes in the morning to simply not attending to your children when they need your help. There are thousands and thousands of them. You must come to know to what degree we are dominated by the god of pleasure-pain, realizing that all of the advertising that exists in our world today is to draw you into some pleasure-pain or other. Just open a newspaper, you'll see wonderful house advertised, or a beautiful girl with a wonderful product, both pulling on your strings that call up your desire to have them, but neither of them will tell you what price you will have to pay aside from the advertised price, of course. These are very expensive prices; in fact, most of our income is spent on pleasure. Yes, behind the owning of a house there is pleasure, owning a set of silverware, a dress, being married to a particular man-woman, these all involve pleasure to some degree. But to some people these pleasures are different in meaning and degree. I'm speaking of the people who are consciously working on their liberation; those who have made peace with, and who are loved and revered by the god of pleasure-suffering. To these people living costs a lot less, and they have plenty of free time to take care of very important matters, do many more important things for their friends, for themselves and for humanity. These people are free from slavery. Aside the list of the pleasures you have pursued, make another list of the suffering you encountered in the past, the ones that you are living with now. Ask yourself: "What suffering, pain and problems are repeated over and over in my life?" Search your mind , make a list of all them and then ask yourself for the reasons behind them. What pleasure were you pursuing that caused past suffering? Do this carefully and record your answers. Yes, my friend, here you may find some answers bitter.

Then analyze your vices and habits, all of them, one after the other; physical, emotional, mental, sexual and spiritual. Vices are, simply put, part of the same god of pleasure we have been discussing. They also attracted us, we liked them and now they have become our master. What are your vices? write them all down. Then, make a list of your sicknesses; psychological, physical, emotional and mental. Let's make a list of the harm that your pleasures have caused in your life, and of course, of the suffering and economical consequences. What physical sicknesses do you have my friend? what emotional ailments? what anger? Behind each ailment, behind each bad mood and each obstacle you faced, you had a pleasure behind it, or at least were searching for one.

Yes, my friend, we are governed by the god of pleasure-suffering to a great degree. If you pursue pleasure, you are going to chain yourself to pain and suffering. You will chain yourself, do you realize it? You will be handcuffed to pain and suffering for a long time. Everything that you have pursued as pleasure in the past must be multiplied by 100 and the result will be, as a minimum, the price you pay in suffering. Now, you can say that you have not suffered, that you have enjoyed life a lot. My brother, if this is your case, you have better study this principle carefully, over and over, at least for 49 days, in the morning and at night, until the last cell of your body accepts these ideas. You have to understand it, to become conscious of the disgrace of the human race that has not awakened to the fact that pleasure and pain are two faces of the same coin and that we always see the pleasurable side of things first. However, there cannot be sweetness without bitterness. It is impossible because it would violate the Law of Duality, the Law of Polarity. Everything is dual in the Cosmos, that is the Law. Black and white, day and night, hot and cold, failure and success, love and hate they are all parts of the same thing. By now you know it well, everything is dual, and the opposite of pleasure is suffering, or pain. Fix this in your mind. You must be very strong, you must be honest and impartial with yourself. Prepare your list. The most important is the list of those pleasures that you pursue most frequently. You must be aware of them so you can do something about them if your goal is to be liberated. Or are you one of those people that likes involution? Among those people who enjoy "things" for 25 or 30 years, the initial part of their lives, and then for the remaining 40 years or so live with pain and suffering, deceptions and frustrations, resentments and degeneration. If you belong to this kind of people, this message came into your hands by mistake. Well, not really by mistake because each cause has its effect, so it would be impossible for this message to be in your hands as a mistake instead of some earlier cause. Your Being has attracted it, so you have it now because you are in need of this remedy; it is because you are ill, the same way I was, my friend. The same way all the people throughout thousands and thousands of years have fallen into the arms of the god of pleasure-pain. I too was one of them and one of the biggest searchers for pleasure. Let me say, our friend in common poisoned me with much suffering. I almost touched bottom, but our friend also gave me this secret message and now I'm passing it to you.

How can we balance the polarity of pain-suffering? You would probably ask if life would be worth living if there were no pleasure in our lives? Is Life worth living without pleasure? Is life worth anything without pleasures? Wouldn't it be dull? What do you think, my friend? Well, I think I know what you're thinking ...to Live a whole life without pleasures sounds too dull, right? Well, let's do the following: shut your eyes, relax, and put on your thinking cap. Bring to your mind the moment of the biggest pleasure you have had in your life, the pleasure you remember as your greatest. Wasn't it something that lasted a short time? Be honest, isn't it true that in 90% of the time that you went in search of pleasure you returned finding little of it or even empty handed? Isn't it true that 90 % of the time you pursued pleasure, it turned out to be just an illusion? Be honest, be very honest with yourself! I'm sure you can recall many of the times you looked for it, when you pursued it, or when you planned it carefully; "I will do this and that; I will go here and there; I will travel; I will buy that car; and I will finally get to do this or that." Isn't it true that for the majority of occasions everything was just pure hope? You were fooled by this magnificent god! After all that...what a disappointment, right? What a bitter taste in your mouth! I too know it well, my friend. How many times have we not gone in search for pleasure of some kind or other, each in our own way and then ending dissatisfied, with bitter taste, frustrated, yet like fools, after two or three days, we become attracted again to something and repeated the cycle?

Yes, my friend, everything conspires to attract our attention; our five senses, our sex, eroticism, and our imagination, more than anything, our imagination. When we are at rest and suddenly get an image of some enjoyment, some pleasure, and we leave something important behind unattended to pursue it, later we don't even remember what we left behind before responding to the pleasure impulse. It can arrive through friends, newspapers, TV; there are many sources teasing you with the visions of pleasurable things. And the pain is there too. Hospitals are full of the sick; psychiatrists and psychologists are as thick as lawyers; sick organs caused by bad habits wait hopefully for a donor. This situation started as a silly pleasure that we had, and turned it into a habit and a vice, then a sickness.

Well, I hope that by now we are starting to understand that if you pursue pleasure in life, you will be chained to suffering. If you do not harm or interfere in any way your mental, emotional, physical, sexual, and spiritual health, nor interfering with others to obtain pleasures, you are free to enjoy them as you wish.

This Principle, the sixth of the twelve for your liberation and for all human beings of good will, tells it like it is. You can enjoy anything as much as you want and with full freedom when the opportunity arises, but here is where the secret lies, my friend. We live in a Cosmos of order; we live in a perfect world, conceived and created by a Perfect Creator. Can you imagine our common Creator, Who created all of the Universe, doing it otherwise? It doesn't matter how you understand your Creator - as an energy, as a force, an intelligence, a Being - but can you imagine Him chaining man to this principle? Can you imagine a perfect creation giving its creatures a gray world without fun? This is not possible, right ? The Creator could not have been that intelligent or could not have created a perfect Universe, then could he be a cruel Creator that attracts man with pleasure which gives him nothing but pain and suffering? Well, let's go to the truth. Simply put, it is not one or the other. Let's get into something more profound, my dear struggling companion. Pleasure is the first lesson of the earth. It is something our 5 senses can see and be enjoyed by our physical body, but it is short lasting and goes away quickly. Our second body, the one that pays the price of things, is called the emotional body and is the one that suffers the consequences of the pleasures of the physical body. This is quite simple, but if one goes deeper, it leads to the mental body. It is with the mental body that man can find a balance between pleasure and pain, where he can balance the eternal conflict between the physical and emotional attraction to pleasure and the corresponding price of suffering. Let's look at this in the following manner: Our mind has to realize that the pursuit of more pleasures of any kind yields more problems and know it's not worth it. Your mind has to understand that pleasure is short lived; it goes away quickly; it is pure illusion and that an instant later the consequence of suffering will show themselves. If it does not show up on the first, second or third day, it will in its own time by law of cause and effect (an unfailing, just and perfect law) and then we will suffer.

If this idea becomes fixed enough in your mind, then you can be alert and will make the commitment to follow the teaching of this Principle, especially with those pleasures that you pursue now. This work will prepare you to be careful, avoiding these old traps (pleasures) as if they were a disease.

This first part will give you will power; these ideas will be fixed your mind, making it alert to the things that can trigger new bouts of pleasure and pain. Then you will have to go through some tests. After some time, when you start feeling strong enough, you will have to go out again in search of the god of pleasure. You must retrace your steps and start with your old pleasures, the least important ones at first are best. You will get close to them, allow yourself to be tempted, then apply your will and say: "No, thank you very much, I have already tried this in the past." This is how you give up a pleasure: Look for it and then turn away from it. This is the most important step you will take.

First, let's do the analysis of your pleasures, then we have to make a list of your sufferings along with their causes. All of this is so you can be aware of the truth of this Principle. Then you will have to stop indulging in your old pleasures, until your mind is fully involved with this new truth and you develop a strong will against them. After this is done, you will go again and face those pleasures, allowing the temptation, then giving them up. You will be able to say with a smile "no thank you." You will be able to see and not touch. At this point, you will start to be respected by the god of pleasure-pain. This god will give you a diploma, a graduation diploma, because this is one of the lessons that is being given on Planet Earth. Then he will look for other candidates, people like you are today, still suffering pain and spending their money in its pursuit. I repeat that it is not free; it's very costly.

Are you willing to do this, my friend ? Well, you can decide; you have free will, or at least a little free will. What do you decide? Your creator has given you a spark of reasoning. If you can't feel the veracity of this principle, just look around you. People pretend to enjoy their pleasures. They brag about them, yet they don't talk about their suffering.

If you're ready for this work, it means you are now a person who will not do whatever comes to mind. You will not allow yourself to be fooled because you are aiming towards your liberation. You know you have to pay the price because everything in life has a price. If you are able to come out of the palace of the god of pleasure-pain with a diploma and the honor medal on your chest, the sun of enjoyment will shine for you. You will start to discover different types of pleasure, the type we call enjoyment, and this one is permanent. It has no polarity and can make a perfect triangle with pleasure and suffering, balancing them to the level of enjoyment.

Have you enjoyed a sundown or a sunrise lately? These are for free you see. We do not usually look for them, but there they are... always. Have you sometimes enjoyed the smile of a child? I think those people who keep a diary do not record these things, but they do have entries like going to a club. I'm giving you a clue, for you know to which kind of pleasure I am referring to. It is the enjoyment of nature. God's creation is at your feet and, if your mind is not set to pursue common pleasures, if your emotions are not involved in the oppression of suffering and pain, then all of your being is in harmony and can start to perceive the wonders of creation, which is pure pleasure. Those who have entered into this dimension of joy will start to meet people of this same level, people who experience joy when opportunities arise for the minimal things which are free. You can start enjoying serving others. You start to enjoy wonderful ideas of evolution. You start to enjoy a new understandings. When the mind is not agitated or searching for pleasure, when it is at peace and calm, it can understand things that were not understood before. It can understand the secrets of the universe and can start to communicate with other people. Fear and worry then disappear. When one has a diploma from the god of pleasure-pain, one can start repairing damaged organs, balance one's emotions, contradictions, and conflicts. Suddenly work and activity will turn into a tremendous enjoyment. The only thing a person in search of pleasure wants is to be able to finish work as promptly as possible so he can go out to look for his next pleasure . This is a truth, my friend, we have all done this. With the new dimension of joy, you can even enjoy sitting down. You will be able to experience joy while walking, breathing, and knowing that God is within you, that you are free....This is JOY. You know something, my friend, he who crosses into this dimension and is admitted into the circle of the people that experience this joy, that have succeeded because of an iron will, that have renounced the smallest pleasure because they know it is only an illusion. You will find joy is health. If you enter into this circle of people, joy will be in you and you will be able to transmit it. Joy is transmittable. You can transmit it to other people; you can make other people feel and enjoy it when they are in your proximity; others will have joy with your Presence.

Yes, my friend, pleasure is felt by you alone, and it is so short and weak. You can talk to others about your pleasures, and all you get from this is anger. Why? Because as others believe you have your pleasures, they at the same time feel envious. When you're suffering the consequences of your pleasures and seek help, your friends, your wife and children come to you with "What's wrong?" Poor thing, you suffer, and the only thing you can do is to spread it to others. This is the way it is, my friend; you know it too!

Well, my friend, be prudent, be cautious, wake up, acknowledge this, open your eyes. I would like to know you personally; I can feel you; and I can feel your suffering and self deception. When you went out the other day in search of pleasure, I could experience the bitter taste that resulted. I cannot stop remembering because I have lived this situation over and over myself.

My friend, your work is very simple. Make your list, study this Principle several times and then prepare your list. Do the exercises that have been mentioned and remember that if you pursue pleasure, you will be chained to pain and suffering. But while you experience it without harming your health, physical, mental, emotional, sexual, or spiritual bodies, or other people, you can have your enjoyment when the opportunity arises. For this situation, my friend, strong will power is necessary, you need will power. You must start by putting behind you all the things you like. I am firm on this, my friend; all of the things you like. Start slowly, yes, slowly. You must also start to do and experience all of the things that you dislike, doing it also slowly. Investigate and ask questions; make a selection of 15 - 20 people out of those you know; be sincere with them and ask them to be sincere with you. Ask them to see if they are really enjoying their pleasures. Analyze them to see how much they are paying for their illusion of pleasure. It is an illusion, nothing else; and the majority feel bad to say that they are really not enjoying themselves. They feel bad to say that they went on a trip and it was all a waste of time and money. They will not tell you that they were disappointed with the car they bought which was so expensive. And the house too, and so many other things are like this.

My friend, be judicious, be prudent and write down the Principle, the Law of Polarity, the Law of Duality on 150 small sheets of paper. Place these papers everywhere around your house, in your closet, in the pockets of your jacket, in your shoes, under your pillow, in front of the sink, on the mirror, on the steering wheel of your car, in your wallet, next to your license, in the glove compartment of the car, on your desk at work. Place them everywhere, until they remind you of this lesson. Be a person that is able to differentiate, able to know value in his thoughts and judgments, and able to realize what is and what is not of real value. A person that is able to make decisions; a brave and courageous person who is not afraid to face his illusions and does not allow the side within, the side that we love, the part that wants us down low in failure, to drive us. I know this side of you will show itself often as you do this work; it did to me. It will bother you with the thought "Well, if there's no pleasure, what is life all about?" But now you'll know there is joy; an authentic, permanent joy, it is even the kind of feeling that you will be able to transmit to others. Can it be transmitted to others? Yes, yes, it's true. If you are able to liberate yourself, going through the first stages called pleasure, pain and suffering, until you arrive at the joy of life; it is true that you can and will want to transmit this to other people. I do not believe you would be a man in the light, happy, liberated, one who would be satisfied with living in a world where people are slaves of pleasure and pain. Am I right? I personally had trouble resisting temptation when I was working with this lesson; others who received this message were able to resist it easier then I could. But I learned in the end. This message can give you real value in your life. This joy we speak of is real, and you will know it as you watch others being helped to their happiness. Later the rest of society will move to a true happiness, and finally, the world will turn to this same happiness. Don't believe that I oppose any of the aspects of pleasure or pain, I do not. They must exist in this world until all of humanity can realize that they are really illusions. He who is awakened from that illusion, he who comes out of this dream can easily understand he must exist because of the many people who still have not arrived to this same consciousness. Needles to say, one understands and perceives when one finally awakens. I am hoping that you are a complete human being who will bring forth all the help to the people who share in your world. May our common Creator bestow his blessing upon you, care for you, and aid you to awaken. Tomorrow, when you go out in your new awareness, and day after day as you work with this Principle, may He show you the illusory sides of pleasure and give you more examples of what you have received called joy. But I am convinced He will not do one or the other unless, from the bottom of your heart, you have decided and started to actively take the first steps putting into practice this sixth great Principle of Liberation. If you pursue pleasure, you will be chained to pain and suffering. But if you do not harm your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and sexual health, and not harm others, you can enjoy as much as you want with full freedom, and as often as the opportunity arises.

My friend, may joy become your daily bread. For a better understanding of this message, I suggest you study the remaining 6 Principles; they are for your liberation.They are very closely related to this Principle. Goodbye, my friend.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WILL

Good morning, friend; good morning, you being an integral part of humanity; and good morning slave companion. You are possibly surprised that I am calling you my companion in slavery. You should not be surprised at all, because you know well we are not free, we are in chains. We are enslaved and, unless we awaken and realize what enslaves us, we will probably end our lives in heavy chains; or even worse, our children will be slaves as well, because they will have been raised by slave parents.

What is it that enslaves us? Well, there are so many things, that naming them would be unending; but everything that enslaves us has a root cause and a reason. One of the causes is the violation of the seventh Principle, the mother Principle that governs human actions. The violation of this principle maintains any individual helplessly enslaved (who has not awakened to his vitality).

Your life is governed by Laws, as well as are the sun and the stars; everything in the Universe is covered by Laws of growth. But these are Laws of light and life that have only one result for the person who understands and cares for them: his evolution and final liberation.

The seventh Principle states the following: "If you pursue an end you will be chained to it; but if you would do everything as if it were an end in itself, you will free yourself." I repeat, if you pursue an end you will be chained to it, but if you would do every LITTLE thing as if it were an end in itself, you will be liberated.

My friend, let's analyze the first part of this Principle. Get yourself a paper and pencil and write down the first part of this Principle. If you pursue an end you will be chained. I called you "companion of slavery" for this same reason, because you are chasing ends, a whole lot of ends. What are the goals and objectives you are chasing? You must meditate and reflect profoundly; and you have to sincerely and impartially write down all of your pursued goals’ all the "ends" that you are pursuing. These ends are your masters. It is not important if all of these ends seem justified to you. Correct or not, true or not, that is not the point. For 49 days, every day, you must answer the question: "Which are the ends that I am after?" Socially, economically, family wise, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and culturally: "What are the goals that I am following?" After this exercise is carried through over 49 days, you will get to know the ends that form your chains.

Let's go now to the second part of the analysis. Search your subconscious, "What are the ends I am pursuing here?" There are conscious ends, goals that we ourselves have established, and ends that are subconscious which were planted in our essence by our parents, by life, by friends and our teachers; ends that are inlaid very deeply into our essence and are the motor, the dynamo causing us do things daily without our clear understanding for the reasons of our acts. These are your ends, your masters that do not leave you alone. These ends are the ideas in our minds, our emotions, and are the causes of our continual actions, which are mostly never completed. Well, they cannot be accomplished because it was not really you who consciously defined them, based on your serious reasoning and meditation. These are not your real goals nor your real ends. This is why you are enslaved this very instant, because your real goal and end have always been your liberation! Now I think you can clearly see how important it is for you to perform the two first parts of this analysis.

The third part of the analysis starts with another question: "What are the causes, the real reasons behind all those goals that you named?" For each goal that you are pursuing, for each end that you are following, you have to ask yourself the question, "Why am I pursuing it?" "What is the real reason for my choosing this or that end?" You'll see there are many reasons which in most cases are trivial and senseless. We can pursue an end because of vanity; we can do it for pride; we can do this or that for fear of criticism, fear of failure, fear of being hungry. There are thousands of reasons that make us follow an end.

Let's look at the first part, "If you follow an end, you chain yourself." You are chained, and I do not have to say to what because the end itself is your master and your boss. From the moment when a human being is affixed to a goal, this goal takes possession of him; it starts to set aside everything in its way until its fulfillment. But as we start to work towards reaching that which we aim for, we find along the way many detours, many detours that present other goals, and after years have passed, we find ourselves moving in a viscous circle.

"If you follow an end you will be chained to it." At this moment, my companion of slavery, you are pursuing many ends, and you have to uncover them. You have to find which are the conscious ends that supposedly you have set for yourself, and those that were planted in your mind since your earliest childhood through normal communications and your life environment and experiences. You must know the reasons, the true reasons why they are the cause of these ends. Unless you arrive at the real reasons you will not be able to be liberated of what you already have in your mind. You will see that there are generic ends: everybody works, looks for a house, marries, have children. Have you not wondered why, being that people are so different from each other; we have to remember our common Creator made us with different combinations? There are no two people exactly the same over the face of the Earth. Isn't it surprising then that all humans pursue basically the same ends? We all want to succeed at work; we all want to be nice people; we all want to have money; we all want to be married to a wonderful girl or man; we all want to have children who are geniuses; we all want beautiful houses and cars. We are machines, yes, machines! You must realize this fact. You must awaken to this reality. You cannot say they are your goals when you are after something that millions and millions are after. Whose goals would they be? Are they your goals when millions of people also have it as their ends? No, it is not so; they are not your ends, no, my friend. You are a unique creation by a Unique Creator, for a unique end that no other person can reach but you. But while you are submerged in oblivion in a fuzzy mentality floating with the crowd, believing that you are the power behind your own evolution with your own ideas, the reality is that the ideas are driving you. You are being driven like sheep, whose herder fattens them for the purpose of cutting their fur and then selling them for slaughter. This is an ugly reality, but you must be aware of it. In your small world there are other people, family, relations, friends, workmates. Select 20 of them and ask every one what their goals are in their social, economic, family, educational and work areas. Ask them to be honest and sincere. From this exercise you will see that they are all after the same things. How is this possible? All minds are different and yet millions of people are after the same ends? And of course, they are slaves of those ends. Remember, if you pursue an end you chain yourself...Well, what are we then to do? One cannot have goals, objectives, wishes? Do we not aim to get something out of this life? How can we live then?

Yes, there are many ways our Creator has foreseen for us; but first you must realize that you have to be aware of how you become a slave by pursuing an end. Let's suppose that I set myself the objective of building a house. The house will turn into an image in my mind: the idea of the house, the idea of having my own home will be images in my mind, which will take possession of my thinking, my strength and body. It will move everything inside my system. It will cause me to be blinded to many things around me because I'll be concentrating on the house. I'll start the process of finding "my" lot. This involves lots of running around looking for it, then the plans for the house; and meanwhile, my life is passing me by, my friend. We are not free people anymore; we are not living in the present anymore. The idea of building the house takes possession of us and will blind us for many years to come to everything that life and our spirit could bring to us. We shut our eyes and ears to anything else that is important because to us the only importance lies on building the house. I must build the house! And I continue; I plan: the steel rods, the cement, the roof, then the decoration of the house, the furniture, and so on. Meanwhile, life keeps moving, the children become almost unknown. Meanwhile the tremendous pressure of this project, this end, has taken possession of me, of my organs that get ill. The project turns into an Armageddon of conflicts and contradictions! All creativity is lost; it doesn't matter if the end is the house, a girl, some occupation, a career, anything. The importance lies in you being aware that a pursued aim turns a person into a slave, and it cannot be escaped. Then, there are the ends that are not conscious, like the construction of a house. These are more subtle, like being accepted by others; something that can be found very deeply in the emotions and mind of mankind. A man will take thousands of actions just to be accepted by others, just so that the rest will say he is 'cool'. There are aims that are still even more subtle, such as the fear of loneliness; it is found in the deepest of our heart. We pursue many ends unknowingly.

Here are the general causes that move the human being, the slave, the unthinking person. We'll start with fear, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of old age, fear of death, fear of loosing health, fear of loosing freedom, fear of loosing love, fear of criticism, and so on. The great majority of these fears lie in the deepest part of your essence and are a powerful motive force. You must definitely know about them and which ones affect you. There are also many apparent needs that move the human machine, like the need to survive, the physiological needs of eating, sleeping and making love, the needs of security, of social acceptance, and of the ego. Fears and our needs are in the deepest part of our emotions and our minds.

Today 95% of the people are perusing the wrong goals. Let's take as an example an individual who is not afraid of criticism. He should pursue all the ends that a regular man would not care to do. You see, you must uncover all the goals that you are after of right now, in a conscious or sub-conscious way. You must know which are the real motives behind those ends. I already gave you the fears behind those ends. I gave you the clue for man's fears and needs. You must do this every day for 49 days until you fully know what moves you to do this or that; and what moves you is really your master. If a driver moves a vehicle from one place to another, the vehicle is not aware of the driver, the mover. The vehicle is the server; it is a slave to what the driver wants. You as well, myself too in the past, are being moved by your "drivers." Behind our ends are our masters. If you are a candidate for liberation, ready to stop being an unthinking person, a machine, a slave, and are ready to start to work, then work with this Principle in a serious manner.

My slave friend, start now. You must establish a goal to which you dedicate daily one hour, a full hour of meditation and of thinking and reflecting with all of your essence, with all your spirit, finding the causes of your ends, and which are your masters. What are the fears and the needs behind your ends? You have to unveil them so you can start the process of your liberation. They will not help you to this end, they only hold you back. As long as you are not conscious of them, and until you come face to face with them, you will continue to follow their ends. These ends are not yours, right? They are their ends and you would remain being their slave.

From the 20 people you selected earlier, verify from them to your own satisfaction that the ends you pursue today have been accomplished by them. Yet they do no have the peace, the tranquillity, the joy and the enjoyment, the plenitude, the satisfaction that life offers us. Simply put, they have completed, as good and skilled laborers, the ends of other masters that have pushed them without their realization throughout their entire lives.

Yes , my friend, start by accepting the idea and then acknowledging that you are a machine. For the next 49 days, observe yourself carefully inside and out. Observe other people too. Investigate, question, and reflect until you realize and can clearly see the point that we are machines working for ends that we ourselves did not choose! You should start to see now why I say we're slaves. If you study this message over and over following its instructions, and setting your mind to it, you will arrive to where your present master is at this time. They will start to respect you; they will start to realize that you are a person that has awakened to reality and to the Laws of Life, the same Laws given by the Creator which state that they must make way for you. They have to give you your passport for your liberation. This is the way it is! We have lived through this before you, so put your hands to it! Work at it! You CAN join us if you decide to do it.

Very well, my slave companion, I hope that you will work with the first part of the program; and if you arrive at the completion of the exercises included, you will find a tremendous situation. First, you will realize the condition of your slavery, how you became a machine; you will see that you do not have free will; you will notice that you have been manipulated throughout your life; you will know the futility of your pursuits and the lack of importance of all the aims and goals you had set yourself to follow and how they affected you. Even though all of this is true, don't be disappointed, my friend. You will experience an emptiness after the many things that occupy your mind are cleaned out. All the ideas that caused you to run in circles will loose their value and effect on you. But dare to do it; do not be afraid, even though you are going to die! You will experience a psychological death (this is the death the ancient initiation stories talk about) which indicates that you are renouncing all the old false ideals and goals and are needing a true teaching that will help you learn to be a free man.

Very well, starting from where you are now and being judicious and prudent, you can move on. Let's continue with our plan. There is only one goal, all the rest are false. This I will emphasize to the maximum. The goal states the following: "Everything that leads you to your evolution, towards your Plan of Life, is real." The goal is not apart from you. Nobody is going to inform you of it because nobody else knows it. You are the only one. When you seriously start to work at this and make contact with your spirit, with the Creative Spark that our common Father placed in you, when you arrive at this point, you will know what your purpose is in this life and who you are. Why and for what reason are you here? Why are you the way you are? What is it that you have to do? How do you have to do it? What means do you need to do it? Until this point arrives, you will remain in the dark, my friend. You will not be able to use the help of others, and you will not yet have your own Plan of Life. So, you are being alerted and warned of your present condition. But those of us that have preceded you along this way, guarantee that if you follow the Cosmic Laws, and if you carry through with the 12 Principles of the evolution and the liberation of man, ready to pay the (fair) price for your liberation, you too will arrive to this goal. The decision and the effort is up to you. You can do one of two things. You either follow the example of the man, who after being in jail for many years was freed and didn't know what to do or where to go. It was easier for him to continue living the slave life than to choose the life of a free man. He did not know what to do with his freedom. You can follow this example and go back to continue living in your jail, pursuing useless ends. Or you can decide to try to break out, and then come out fully equipped to make use of your liberation towards the ends for which you were created.

Let's look at the second part of our principle now. It states that if you pursue an end you are chained to suffering, but if you would act as if every individual thing was an end in itself, you would be free. If everything would be done as an end in itself, you can be freed. What is the meaning of this? Let’s use again the example of the house. Let's assume that it is a real goal, that it is a goal of your spirit, and something you must do. All right? A man who is on his way to liberation will not permit the general idea of the house taking entire possession of him until he’s blind. No, way. He has made the decision to build the house, but he is awake. The house is for his service, not for him to serve the house. Meditate on this, because the house is being made to serve his purposes, not for him to become a slave of its construction. This is clear, right? Then, if he has to start by buying the lot, he will turn the lot into an end for itself. He forgets the house and thinks about the lot, as if getting the best lot is the most important thing he can do. When this is completed, he will approach the other phases of constructions in the same manner, each an activity in itself. He expects to do the best at every step. Let's use another example, let’s suppose I am a farmer who has decided to plant 500 apple trees; the reason or end use is not important, all right? O.K. If I am a smart and conscious man, the first thing I would do is to continuously remind myself that the 500 apple trees are to serve my Life Purpose, placing the whole of my attention on preparing the land. Then most important thing is the action itself. I will live today, getting the maximum enjoyment and satisfaction by placing all of my efforts to the preparation of the land.

This is my evolution. My evolution is not based on getting the fruit out of the 500 trees. My evolution is that today I am alive; I am awake; today I will work on preparing the land; and today I will give all I can to do the best I can in the best possible way I can. This is where my evolution today would be centered. To continue this idea and the example of preparing the land, the next step would be to ask: "What do I have to do now?" Let’s say the answer is the land needs mowing. O.K. Of all the possible ways to do this, what is the best way? Is there a better method, a more perfect way to mow the land? And so forth...as you can see, candidate for liberation, the apple trees are very far away in our mind and actions, and the fruit of the trees are very, very far away in the future! The most important thing is that now the only thing I can do is mow the land in the most perfect way I can today. The more perfectly I do this, the more perfect will be my contribution to my Life Plan and my evolution. So, the 500 trees and the fruit they can provide are only the instrument; they are the reason I use to experience evolution and fulfill my goal and plan. Let's see if it is clear now... If you would do everything as if it was an end in itself and not a means to arrive to an end, you would freourself. In the above example, the individual that only cares for the fruit of the 500 apple trees as his end lives only for harvesting X number of pounds by such and such time. When he starts with the soil, he is working only with the means; water is only a means; this man is focused on an end and lives only for that.

Now, as a candidate for liberation, you must start to think differently. You now well know that if you mow the land perfectly you can experience all the satisfaction and evolution of doing it that way. If you later water the soil in the most perfect way, you will experience that too, and so on. The 500 plants will grow and ultimately present you with the their fruit. This will come as a result, as a natural and logical result of the perfection that you placed into every step along the way; each step being the instrument by which you experience evolution day after day. Your satisfaction and evolution comes to you this way, not with the fruit that will bear "someday." It is with each step that we evolve and move forward.

Let’s look at another example. In this moment I am transmitting to you a message and I’m not thinking at all of the reason for its transmittal. I do not think that you can receive it and carry it through; in the future. My evolution does not depend on your carrying it through, my evolution is based on my applying the best of myself in the effort to experience evolution, trying to do it the best way I can. If at the end of my message there is success, each little step you take to carry through with this message becomes an end in itself. When I finish this message, I will have finished my effort. The end will be that I did it the best way possible, the most perfect way I could get this message to you. In the same manner if you don't listen to this message with the aim of being liberated but instead place all your attention in understanding to the utmost everything in it, you will benefit today! You will have taken a step, a very important and fundamental step, in the understanding of the message. Then, if you do the first exercise and turn it into an end in itself, that is to uncover the ends that you are after, the cause and motives for those ends will be your benefit. If you place all of your effort to do this in a perfect manner, you will be evolving step by step and you will not be a slave of an end in the future, but of one you chose to experience today. While you open a notebook, ask yourself: "What are the ends that I am after?" There it is. If you try to do the task in the best and perfect way, if you place all your attention and interest in the present on this fact, well, you’ll see true results when you finish the analysis. This step is then an end in itself which will take you, logically, to the next step, another end in itself. You'll never get lost managing your ends in this manner, and your ends, be they general, regional, national or global, will bring your liberation as well.

If a person is expectant and depends on results to be gotten in the future, he opens the door to all kinds of demons. The demons of doubt will visit his mind; "Will I make it or not?" "What if I do not get it?" Then starts the fear and insecurity, they take possession and will keep a person grounded. Now you know this is how it is!

Let’s go through the cycle with another example. Let’s suppose I register at the university to be a physician. A slave would do it because it is fashionable to be a doctor, a good profession to earn money, and other reasons too. But those who do it for these reasons are only dependant on getting their degree. They go to the university for 7 years and, during those years, do not even see one good day because of their fear, doubts, and insecurity whether they will make it or not, if they will become successful or not; they will live in hell every day until they get their degree. A person's most probable condition is that he arrives worn out to his graduation because the effort will have been gigantic. Accomplishing this end with all the struggle, disturbances and pressures is just a terrible burden. Had such a person been a candidate for liberation, an individual like you, he would simply get into the university, attend his classes, and when the professors talk, focus his attention. The only thing important to him is the lesson of that day. Then in the task of the day, each task being an end in itself, he experiences his evolution. If he reaches the fourth year, let's assume he does, he will have evolved tremendously because he placed all his efforts, which were ends in themselves, into each step.

This is clear now, right? Very well, with this tool in your hands, with this knowledge which I myself received from others, you can proceed as a candidate for liberation. The masters of humanity, throughout thousands of years, have been passing on this message to each slave and possible candidate for liberation. I think, if you listen to it, and when listening to each part you approach it as an end in itself, you will perfectly understand its essence. You will be able to use the explanation I gave you to the service of certain goals that you have pending within you. What do I mean by this? Let’s suppose that in your analysis you can eliminate a whole lot of ends that you have been wrongly pursuing. OK? But there are others that you cannot eliminate because you are involved in them right now. You must write these ends down, then break them down them up into logical steps, and convert your big goal into many smaller steps of time and actions. Turn the passing of each hour and action into the end in itself. This is clear, right? Very well, if you follow an end, you chain yourself; but if you do everything as if it was an end in itself, you will be freed.

Get yourself 100 sheets of paper, write down this Principle, the two parts of it, and place these sheets everywhere: in your car, in your clothing, in your bed, in the bathroom, everywhere. Look at it for 49 days, then apply it to each and every one of the ends that you identify. If you can cancel some of them, do it! You have to apply this Principle to the others. Break up each part into many little parts making each an end in itself. But this and the other parts of the exercise will not be of any use to you unless you are ready to pay the price. The price, candidate for liberation, is as follows: it is not money, it is not the cost of this message, it is something else. Select 7 people that you like and who like you too, and who live in your small world. You have to give yourself the task of teaching these 7 people how to apply this Principle in their lives. Yes, they must be people who are candidates for liberation, that is, people who are not opposed to everything, nor people who think that they know everything. They cannot be people that are selfish, full of vanity, blind and deaf, no. They must be people who have received their share of hard blows, people who have realized that they are going around in circles, who've realized that they are being driven. Transmit this message to them and start to work with them. Remember, don't approach this as an end, be ready to live it day by day with no expectations. If you choose Mr. X as one who should have this material , don't set your mind to guide him to his liberation. If you decide you can talk with him today, give yourself only this purpose for your action of today, to open a line of communication with him and converse. In this manner you convert your first action into an end in itself. If you can make him listen to you, both of you communicating together, then you will have reached your purpose, and you will have done it in the present. Make a conscious and reasoned decision, something solid, something you could convert into an end in itself and do it now. At another time when you're ready, you can set up the second step of actually giving him the message, another act in itself. Don't forget to ask yourself the basic question: "What is the best and perfect way to transmit the following message to Mr. X?" Let's suppose that you know the best way, then what do you do to communicate the message to him? Think about it over time, then go and do it. This is an end in itself. It is in the present moment. If you are able to do it, you will experience evolution; you will have learned to really communicate with somebody else. You see, someday, the liberation of Mr. X will be a fact. It will progress, step by step, as the normal flow of life and this Principle. We are not individual entities, candidate to liberation, because if you are married, if you have children, if you live with your parents, you are connected with them and their goals as well. They have expectations of you; they expect from you something very concrete. But you with your example, and indirectly through your teaching, can help them in their liberation too. Will you be a slave for life? There are situations that we cannot change. Perhaps you will not be able to change your father or mother, nor brothers or children. You might be able to change your occupation, and even include working with these Principles as part of your purpose in life and working with those close to you. One day their liberation will become a fact and each will work on their Plans of Life.

Yes, my friend, it is difficult, but it is sensational to be free, to wake up every day with purpose for the day, being all of them ends in themselves, all being small steps in a logical sequence. This method will bring you your evolution and great satisfaction each day. You will be radiant. In your hands are the keys to liberation. Be sure you have the other 11 Principles which are intimately connected to this one, and then start 'hands on.'

May our common Creator provide you with courage, valor, and illumination. May He give you the ability to know the difference between what is real and what is illusion. May our Creator bless you, care and keep you; but he will not do so unless you take the first steps. Go for it! Thank you.

THE PRINCIPLE OF UNDERSTANDING

Difficulties, inconveniences, obstacles, problems, conflicts, contradictions. This is our daily bread; it is for everyone who is thinking and working at doing something worthwhile with his life. For the person who is not thinking of doing anything, or doesn't want to do anything anyway; this is not a problem. My friend, I hope you are trying to make something of value out of your life. If this is the case, then your daily walk is full of the inconveniences, of difficulties, obstacles, problems, conflicts and contradictions. Then it is the most important for the fulfillment of your plan of life that you can differentiate between them. Let's think for a moment, what is an inconvenience? When an inconvenience arises, what is it? What is a difficulty? What is an obstacle? What is a problem? What is a conflict? What is a contradiction? The inconveniences are small annoyances that come up along one's way: as traveling from one city to another I get a flat tire. This is not a problem, nor a difficulty; it is not an obstacle nor a conflict, or a contradiction, not even a problem; it is just an inconvenience. Now, if I do not have a spare tire, then it turns into an obstacle. If I do not have the money to buy a spare tire, then there is a problem, but never a contradiction or a conflict. A difficulty is when I'm doing something and it becomes difficult to do or I don't know how to do it. An obstacle is something that confronts us on our way. A problem is something to be solved; it is a situation. You should start to consider the difficulty, the obstacle, the inconvenience and the problem as challenges to your capabilities. You must face them and consider them challenges because they motivate you to perform. If you are one of those that are afraid of problems, difficulties, inconveniences and/or obstacles, then you must start to change your mental attitude towards them. They are veiled opportunities, hidden so you can develop more fully the potential you have within you. You must start to change your mental attitude towards them. You must eliminate your worries and fears. You must understand that all of us, during our lives, considered these things as a negative event, but they are actually possibilities or situations in which we can develop the potential within us. One of the best ways to do this is to prepare 4 large drawing sheets. On the first one label it: "The problem is a challenge to my ability." On the second one: "The difficulties are veiled opportunities to develop my potential." Third: "The inconvenience is a possibility to develop my capabilities to improvise spontaneously." Then last: "An obstacle is a possibility to develop my capabilities of discernment, and my capability to discern and act in a prompt manner." For 49 days, try as hard as you can not to run away from those situations, but face them instead. Now then, the contradiction is something entirely different, we saw it in the fifth Principle and know how to handle it, so now we have to see about the conflict. But first, you have to learn to differentiate between what is an inconvenience and what is an obstacle, what is a problem, what is a difficulty, a contradiction and a conflict. We normally are confused about them and treat them in the same manner; reacting towards all of them in a similar way. This is a big mistake!

To learn how to tell them apart let’s do the following exercise. Open up a notebook and ask yourself the following question, write it down. "What are the inconveniences I have now, what are the ones I have had in the past?" Write them all down. Make an effort to gather them from your memory and your actual situations. Second: "What are the difficulties I have now?" Write them all down. " What are the ones I have had in the past?" And so on and so forth. Third: "What are the obstacles, what are the problems," and when you have all the answers, you will analyze them and think about the differences between the one and the other.

Fourth, conflict is entirely a different matter. Yes, the difficulty, the obstacle, the inconvenience and the problem should be considered as challenges, causing us to move and act. If you are a person of action, the contradiction and the conflict would hold you trapped in a closed circle and not allow you to move forward.

To be able to understand and know what to do when we are in a conflict, we have to look closely at the 8th Principle for the Liberation of Man. Our common Father has provided for his creatures who are on the road returning home; He has given them the twelve Principles of Light, twelve Principles of Order and Harmony for the realization of their Life Plan. All who carry out these Principles during their lives will find open doors towards their liberation.

The eighth Principle states the following: "You will make your conflicts disappear when you understand them down to their last root and not when you want to solve them." I repeat: "You will make your conflicts vanish when you comprehend them to their last root cause and not when you just want to solve them." If you meditate on this Principle, you will immediately realize that throughout your life you have been trying to find solutions to your conflicts, this being one of the reasons why you have been enslaved, repeating endless mistakes. Let's analyze this Principle. What do we mean about overcoming conflicts? What about not having to solve them?

A conflict, my travel companion, has one cause, and unless you can arrive at the bottom of its cause, at the root of it, to the key point where it arose, it will remain confronting you. But if you are able to identify the root cause, it will disappear from your life. A conflict is a mental matter, it is an absolute mental situation. Now, let’s see what a conflict is? What is a conflict to you? Write down all the conflicts that you have at this time. Write them all down disregarding if you find it difficult to describe them fully. A conflict is when you think one way about something internal or external, and your reality is different; then there is a clash within you. Can you think of a situation similar to this example? Example. Your wife looks after the children, prepares the meals, takes care of the house, and is a sexual mate. But for some reason her behavior changes, for some reason she has a hard time doing her household duties or she is not satisfied by doing them, creating a conflict. What can be done in this case? What to do in this case? First, you must analyze it, why do I think my wife must do this or that? Where do I get this way of thinking about this situation? Is what I think about my wife's behavior correct? Is she right when she protests doing what I think she should be doing? What is the truth about this? What is the truth about the behavior of a spouse at home? We are arriving at a key point with these thoughts because conflicts cannot be solved unless we find the truth behind them. The truth, the discerning what the Cosmos has provided for us in each situation, will carry us to understand the root cause of the conflict and will cause it to disappear.

My friend, we live in a Cosmos of order where there are Laws and Principles, standards of conduct, and steps to take for all actions in life. There is a Global truth, and this truth carries smaller truths for all occasions. He who does not investigate the truth for each conflict will simply continue repeating it over and over. If you tell your spouse that she has to do something and she says no, there is a clash, there is a conflict. One day you may accede; the other, you might not, and then you might react violently; perhaps she accepts today but remains unhappy. She feels hurt and is unhappy doing what you think she should be doing. What can help you? To arrive at the truth, and find the role of the woman in a home; the true function provided by the Cosmos and not by some other source, not by what you have seen from your parents or from society. If your wife can adapt to this truth and recognize that this is the way it is, and if you too can change your way of thinking about the role of a wife in the home by adapting to the Cosmic Principle, then the conflict will vanish. You will realize that normally we struggle when confronted. We try to solve conflicts by imposing our opinion or our criteria on the other person. This is the normal way we try to solve a problem, but it does not remain solved. If one could understand a conflict how and where it occurred, he would pause and search for the cause instead of just automatically reacting. One side of him thinks in one way, and the other side sees things in a completely different way. Then there is a conflict, a serious conflict that does not involve anybody else. If this were my case and I tried to impose the criteria of one side over the other, I would only make the conflict worse, I would get nowhere. Let’s say my right foot wants to step forward, but my left one does not. This is a bad situation because I'm immobilized; I can't do anything. How do I solve the situation? It is very simple: start investigating the root of the conflict. How did this conflict arise? By looking for the Cosmic truth about this type of situation. Is this clear, my friend? Well, let's continue writing down all the conflicts you have at the present, and you probably have quite a few. All of your conflicts are based on what you have been taught in the past and as a result of your own experiences from your life, your friends and others, your wife, your children. You have acquired set ideas from all of these things, but when the present conditions in your life do not adjust to your way of thinking, then there are conflicts.

What do you think about work? What is an occupation? What are your ideas about a job? What are your ideas about your boss? What are your ideas regarding your spouse? What do you think about life? What do you think about your fellow human beings, about society, about humanity? To each of these points you must start a page, write down all that you think about each one of them. Then ask yourself the following question: " Is what I think about others in accordance with what I see?"

Here you'll find evident conflicts. What to do? Simply put, investigate and search for the truth hiding behind the apparent conflict.

According to the Cosmos, what is life? Write down this question, "Why and for what do we live?" "According to the Creator, according to The Law, what is the world for?" "Why and for what do I exist?" "According to The Law and the Truth, what should my behavior be toward my spouse?" "My attitude towards my spouse?" Yes, I am bringing up the word "my" attitude, the same as used in my children, my work and so on. "According to the Cosmos, how should I live with myself?" As you can see, my friend, one must search, one must search carefully for the truth. The truth is the light that can vanquish all conflicts; and, a man without conflicts is a powerful man, a man of great strength. The essence of conflict uses up the energy within us; it saps our capacity for action. Our world is full of people who are involved in permanent conflicts and who cannot do a thing about them either. You must realize this fact because a person in conflict is immobilized; a part of him wants to move forward while the other wants to hold back. As usual, the forces are equal, and the person is immobilized. Or when the person is willing to do something in the external world, he finds he is confronted by a tremendous force of opposition. If this is a person who thinks about doing things in a certain way, while the truth is different, he won't get anywhere. Then he will try to force his way, only to end up losing his strength or the will try to solve the conflict while finding that the result is not what he expected.

As you can see, my friend, this is hard and difficult work. The investigation of the truth about our way of thinking is the general rule of the 8th Principle. How do I think about this or that situation? What is my way of thinking about life, and what do I want out of life. Let us suppose that you want happiness, pleasure, general well being, riches. Is this what our Creator has provided for mankind? Is this what makes sense out of this life? To give you another example, every person that thinks he is placed in this life to be happy, to earn lots of money, and to have pleasure and enjoyment is wrong and will face tremendous conflicts. I can tell you this right now, we live to experience evolution. The life in us must evolve, and he who starts to think about life as a possibility to evolve, will start to eliminate the conflicts between himself and life. Evolution can include being well, being happy. Yes, it can, but it is not the true purpose of life. The reason for life is not to be married, to have children, to have an occupation, or go to the movies. He who thinks this is life is asking for big problems; conflict will be a permanent part of his life. While he who thinks of life in terms of evolution and in terms of working towards being perfect each day, just as our Creator has conceived and sees us, his conflicts about life will vanish. This is the word. Mental attitude is either a bad or a correct relationship with every department of life, and it can eliminate all conflicts. How? By knowing the truth about each part of life.

Study this part of the lesson and do the exercises for 49 days. I must give you a warning here: unless you ask our common Creator to shower light on your mind and heart, all of your efforts will be futile and in vain. Ask of your Creator that the spark of light and understanding within you shine on the darkness of your mind, your body and your heart. Ask this everyday for the 49 days and work at it - do it! In the second part we will look at more details about the eighth Principle. Remember this, you will make your conflicts vanish when you understand them to the last root cause and not when you want to solve the conflicts yourself. I repeat, you will eliminate your conflicts when you can understand their cause and not when you want to solve them yourself. Take action!

What is a mental attitude? It's our way of thinking about something, and this way of thinking brings us to a relationship with this something. Open up a notebook for the 8th Principle and divide it into seven equal parts. Write down in the first: "What is my mental attitude?" "What is my way of thinking about life?" and " What is the truth about life?" In the next part: "What is my way of thinking about the world?" "What is the truth about the world?" In the third: "What is my way of thinking about others?" Here you will write the names of the people with whom you are close. What is the truth about this person, the next and the other? Fourth: "What is my way of thinking about my spouse?" Go deep inside for the truth about your spouse, and don't forget that the truth is that which the Cosmos wants us to learn. "What is the truth about my children, and about children in general?" "What is my way of thinking about children?" "Is the truth about children the same as my thinking about them?" Here you may have an important conflict. Sixth part: "What is my way of thinking about society?" "What is the truth about society?" Last part: "What is my way of thinking about myself and my activities?" "What is the truth about myself and about what I have to do?" The analysis made on these seven points will bring you to acknowledge much that is true about yourself. Possibly, after many investigations, you will see the Cosmic truth about each of your parts; and then, while you are discovering these truths, you will change your relationships and harmonize your life.

What is a relationship? A relationship is the way through which we get closer to something. If a person is afraid of life, how can he relate to it? If a person underestimates another, how can he relate to this other? Very well, write down the word relationship, and ask yourself the following question, in each of the parts of your notebook: "What is my relationship with life?" "Is it correct or how should it be?" "What is my relationship with others, and what is my relationship with my spouse and with my children?" "How do I relate to them?" "How do I get close to them?" "How should it be?" Yes, my friend, we need the truth, the absolute truth. Remember that all our conflicts come from the fact that during our childhood, during our growing years, our mind were filled with information about everything from sources outside of us. Regretfully, this information is not related to the Cosmic truth, so we have to review it. We must analyze the difference between our way of thinking and the Cosmic truth. Here lies hidden the root to all of our conflicts. If you first try and then succeed in solving them, they will disappear the moment you understand them. But remember my earlier warning, don't try to do this alone because Light is needed along with your effort. You need the Light from your Creator; you need the Light of the Law, the Light of Truth; and it lies within the deepest part of yourself.

If you are prudent and impartial, if you feel you can do this work as if you were someone else, and if you are able to go deeply within with your meditations and reflect on all your parts, and if you are humble enough to ask for the light, in all probability the truth will come to your mind and you will be able to vanquish your conflicts as you understand them. To understand and comprehend something is to see its light. It is to see it in its deepest truth. This Principle that you are going to implement and that we are recommending you to do are things that we have done ourselves in the past. All of these things came to us from others who themselves did them earlier, and this sequence goes back in time to the very beginning. These Principles have been given to all men who are enslaved by their conflicts for their liberation and even for the world’s. Many have done this before you. I am taking it for granted that you will also do what we advise. I consider that you are a person of good will, intelligent, and for this reason I am going to give you the key to conscious thinking. That is, how to penetrate to the deepest reason about something, how to reach the truth about something. Open up your notebook and take a careful note of the following. During a period of three months, I repeat three months, yes, 120 days, once a day, each day consider a different problem. It could be an object, a person, a situation, an inconvenience, a conflict, and think about them thoroughly in the following manner: 1st.- Its origin, 2nd.- The reason for the origin, 3rd - Its history, 4th - Its qualities and attributes. 5th.- Objects, situations, conditions, and people related or connected. 6th - Their use and application. 7th - Effects and results. 8th - What is explainable and proven. 9th - Its possible future. 10th - Your opinion regarding its possible future, the cause and motives for this opinion.

My friend, these are the ten points of reflection that you will work on once per day. First do a conflict, the next a situation, then a problem, and then consider a person. The ten points will afford you a deep penetration into your mind and connect you with the light of these things. Let's take this example, let’s take an object, a table lamp. We start with our conscious thinking: 1st point. "What is the origin of the lamp?" 2nd. "What is the cause for the origin of the lamp?" 3rd. "What is the history of the lamp?" 4th. "The qualities and attributes of the lamp?" 5th. "The objects connected or related to the lamp?" 6th. "Its use and application." 7th. "What are the effects and results from the use of the lamp?" 8th. "What does the use of the lamp prove and explain?" 9th. "What is the possible future of the lamp?" And 10th. "What is your opinion and the reasoning for your opinion about the use of the lamp?" As you can see my friend, if you do this on a daily manner, once about a lamp, the other about a problem, then an inconvenience, a conflict, and a situation. Another example, a war, what is the origin of war, what is the cause of its origin, and so forth and so on. Plus call for the light and you'll eventually get to the bottom (truth) of your world.

In addition, when you complete your analysis, you will have practiced attention, concentration and meditation, and you will be strengthening your mind. You will also arrive at a mental thoroughness of such magnitude that thousands and thousands of facts will come to your mind, and even further, you will have the answers to your questions. You will get to know so much, about a situation or object that you will enter into creative fields, but most important of all, you will have the Light in your mind and heart. You will understand, comprehend, and see the root of all things, the reason for all things without possibility of error. As you can see, my friend, we are placing in your hands a key which, on purpose, is made to be difficult. This work is not made for failures or the indolent. This work is not for people who are couch potatoes and prefer a magic wand. It is for all of those people who are tired of being slaves. This is for people who have been struggling day and night for a long time, but in adapting these Principles and with effort, this person will take part in the change from slavery to liberation. Then, sometime close to the 120th day, once you are thinking clearly, following the above ten points about tangible objects and intangible ones like sicknesses, economic problems, the relationship with our children, with the world: about all objects and things. It is difficult, but the key lies there; for if it were easy, the answer will come forth to your mind instantly, and your mind would not develop all of its potential and faculties. A mind that is not developed is blind and will yield wrong conclusions. This is the source of more conflicts.

Let’s continue with this Principle. You will vanquish your conflicts if you consciously think about them, according to the ten point table, until you understand them, not when you want to solve them. Let's repeat the new way for doing this Principle which is a way that has evolved naturally. You will make your conflicts disappear if you think consciously about them according to the ten step table down to their last root and not just because you want to solve them. This is the fifth step. The sixth step my friend is as follows: In the Cosmos, where we are living, everything has a price, and I am not referring to the cost of this paper. I mean, the effort you must make to arrive at the truth and the light which will be the cause for your liberation from slavery. In addition to all the work that needs to be done to vanquish your conflicts, which will bring you total liberation, you will understand and decide to help other people to solve their conflicts. This only means that you will be awakened to the fact that life is worthless, even as a free man without conflicts, if around you continue to be many people, especially those closest to you who are engulfed in their conflicts. Isn't it logical? I know that your common sense will bring you to the conclusion that, if you have benefited from something, if you have received the light, then you have to pass it on to other people. So pick seven men or women - those closest to you, those who live in your small world - and search for ways to transmit to them the eighth Principle so they can meditate and think about it. Give them the exercises that you have done yourself and help them to complete them, until they can, as well, arrive at the light. You will then be the sun of your world, of your small world. They, as well, will do it with others, and the small worlds will begin to shine, one after the other, so much so that rooms that were in the dark will seem to light up. The chain will extend from one place to another helping to build a better world, the one we all want.

This, my friend, is the legacy of conscious and awakened men of all ages and all time. Today it is arriving at your hands; it depends on what you do with it, so you must be on guard and alert. To what you might say? Well, to the part within us, the lazy part, the inert part, the hesitant part, especially the part that lives in our mind and tries to run away from any type of mental effort. Remember when you were in high school? Remember when you had to solve those algebra problems? You had to make an effort, right? Then something would happen inside of you, and you would close the book to do something else. How many times in your life have you been confronted with a situation that was uncomfortable to you and this something came up in your mind, moving you to abandon your effort? My friend, we have gone through this too, we are aware of the problems you face. Knowing we did it before you gives you the confidence to continue. How can the mind cause you to fail? What is your attitude regarding the side of your mind that would want failure instead of liberation? This is the involutive part, this negligent and lazy part, the part that does not want to expend any effort and wants to keep you in slavery with your feet firmly in the mud. You know very well that it will come up; perhaps it has already shown itself while you were studying this lesson. What is your attitude towards this part of your mind, and what will be your behavior from now on? Will you let it take over your life? Will you let it fill your life with remorse, frustrations and deception? You will not, right? Make up your mind, get your courage up! Remember, we did it too. We traveled this road before you, and we want you to know you must prepare for a time of effort. From the time you start this effort be ready and alert for a mental fight. It will happen over and over until you learn to discern your involutive mind as it responds to the thousands of circumstances and thoughts you will be passing through in your life experiences. When you start with your meditation work, you might suddenly think that your body is tired; this is the behavior of this involutive part of you. You may feel hungry, or it will prompt you to take care of other things. You will be weakened in many ways. You must see and understand how the involutive force will be acting in your case. The only way to do it is to arm yourself with courage and decide, be alert and awake, and proceed. Prepare little notes, put them on your desk close to the place where you will be thinking about your conflicts, and always, always be aware of what's going on in your mind. You must discover it by observing yourself in order to realize how this force works on you, this force that will do everything possible so you will not acquire the Light, so that you will not arrive at understanding and truth of your light and of your Creator's essence. This is why we alert you, because our enemy is not the world; it is not the Cosmos; it is not others. It is not society; it is not a woman, or the children, or partners, or the traffic; it is not the high cost of living. None of these is our enemy. Our greatest enemy is inside of us. It is that part that tends to involution, that tends to push us backwards, that puts us into problems, that makes us spend more than necessary, that has the habit of blanking out our memory when we need it, of confusing our goals, of misleading our purposes, of wasting our objectives. It acts on its own for its own sake; and most of the time, it controls us, holding us as slaves to it. This is how we are. The part we think is ourselves in reality is the involutive part of our mind that commands and dominates our situations, making us aware of the problems of others; it does with us whatever it wants and is the root of our conflicts. The involutive part is the creator of the conflicts in our minds; it is the one that pulls us apart from the rest; the part that makes us be selfish, liars, lazy and hypocritical, makes us be vain, afraid and sorry. You must discover and recognize this part within you. You cannot destroy it nor do you want to, because it is also the strength that permits you to act and will carry you to your liberation; but this force will not be at your service unless you learn to live with it by bringing it into agreement with you and under your control. You are both, at the same time: the part that wants involution and the part that wants evolution. One part is in the light and the other in darkness, and both have to get together in common desire to give you your plan of life, which waits for you in the deepest part of your Spirit. The Plan your Creator has for you, your Plan of Life, only you can achieve, but you will not reach it unless there is harmony between your involutive and evolutive parts, unless you are your own master. We suggest that you get the other 11 Principles, they are closely related to this message.

We ask our common Creator to give you the valor and courage to initiate this activity to receive the Light, and that He protect you and bless you if your heart is pure and open. Thank you!

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY

Hello, my friend! Hello fellow human being; hello brother! Fellow human being? For sure! You are my fellow human being , but why are you my fellow? You are my fellow because you are next to me, the same as other people who are next to you, such as your spouse, children, father, mother, brothers, family, friends, work mates, the baker, the carpenter, the bus driver, all of the people that you find throughout your life are your fellows because they are next to you. A man cannot be an island; a man cannot be isolated, my friend, he cannot live alone. Can you live alone? Very few people can manage it; we need our fellow humans; we need someone next to us, and as I will assume that you still have many years yet to live, you will find along your life many fellows. Then, how to live with our fellows? How to treat them? This information is one of the most important for the well being of a person.

A man that does not get along with his fellow man if he is an unfortunate man. A man who lives in peace and harmony among men and who gets to know everybody he comes across is a powerful man; a calm person; a man that can act, and is a free man.

The ninth and the tenth Principles are similar; one has a masculine nature, the other feminine; one positive and the other negative. These have been provided by our Superior Master, the Creator of the Cosmos, for us to achieve harmony with our fellow man. These are the ninth and tenth Principles for our liberation and they state as follows...

If you harm your fellow man you will be chained. This is the first part of the ninth Principle. Well, you will say, but I do not want to harm anybody! Of course you don’t, nobody wants to consciously harm others. Conscious, being awake and alert, we cannot and do not harm anyone, but when we are not aware (conscious) we certainly can harm others. Remember, the Principle says, "If you harm your fellow man you chain yourself." What does this mean? By reason of a Sacred and Holy Law it means that all causes have their resulting effects. Everything that you do to your fellow man will come back to you multiplied several times over. If you did right, this will return to you by the Law of cause and effect; if you did harm, it will come back to you in multiples. Haven't you noticed this in the past? This is the Law of Cause and Effect which gives understanding (light) to this principle of relationships between men. If you harm your fellow man, you will be chained. If you harm others you will chain yourself. You must be alert to the part in you, the selfish part, which wants everything for itself; you must discover it. There is a selfish entity within us, an entity that has needs, fears, and worries. It wants everything for itself, and when we allow this part to governs us, it can cause us, among other things, to harm others.

My friend, life is One. Your life and that of others constitute the same life. What you do to others you also do to yourself. This is the secret, we are all One. If we keep our attention on our physical senses, and we think that John is John and I am myself, we are separated from the knowledge that the life in John is the same life which is in me, the only reality in all of this, is not the bodies, it is the One Life. Give this your serious attention!

Our enemy in life is not to be found in others, because others behave towards you as a reflection of the way you behave towards them. If your fellow man thinks badly of you it is because you, perhaps unknowingly, think badly of him. If somebody harms you it is because you have harmed that someone. This Principle states a just and infallible law, a Cosmic Law. There is a side of you which you do not control, in fact it controls you; your left side; the selfish side that only thinks about its own needs; only of its comfort and well-being; it does not stop until it accomplishes all it wants. It can and will act selfishly, and does not care if it harms others. It is the part of us that will do whatever it feels like doing! It doesn't even recognize there are others; this part of us does not consider the existence of others, they just do not exist to it.

We will start working on ways that we can bring this part under control now that we know it can harm others without the awareness of our healthy part. You, me or others would not consciously harm anybody. Then what is the reason for the type of relationship between men today? What is the reason for the problems we have with others? Why?

Come, let's do some work. Open your notebook and title it, "My strategy to accomplish harmony with others." Write down the names of your father, your mother, your brothers, your spouse, your children, family, friends, work mates, all the names of the people that you see with some frequency. Each person on one page, then ask yourself this question, "Am I disturbing this person in any way?" " Can it be that knowingly or unknowingly I am harming this person?" "Do I have good thoughts about him/her?" "Do I have good thoughts about my spouse?" "Is my attitude towards them the right one?" Once you have made an analysis from these questions, being very objective, impartial, and sincere with yourself, you will start to see the behavior of your selfish side; the side within you which does not respect any law nor person. Then, your second step is to go to each of these people and ask them to give you a sincere answer as to weather you have harmed them in any way. Here too they will tell you many things about the side of you which you do not know nor control. The third step for you to take is to sit and talk with each of these people and tell them about your sincere wish to be in peace and harmony with them. Be sure to tell them that you do not wish to harm them in any way because you now understand there is a side in us humans, a selfish side capable of harming others, and which you are now aware of. Tell them of how the one side will hurt someone, then our outer (conscious) side in us has to apologize. How often have you seen this happen? We constantly hurt others because we don't have this inner part under control.

These exercises will allow you to see how this part operates. You must observe yourself; you must always be awake and alert; you must realize how this selfish side operates. Then, ask yourself a fourth question: "Is what I want to accomplish going to hurt somebody?" "Are my goals, or what I am working for today, or what I want, going to hurt somebody?" Write down your goals to see if they will hurt anyone. Ask yourself these questions over and over, and don't forget, if you do something that will harm another, it will chain you to that person.

What is the meaning of "it will chain you?" This means the harm you did will come back to you multiplied many times over. The law of cause and effect will not always act immediately.Today I can harm you, and my return punishment, the harm that I should get back because of it might not come back to me for twenty years. During those twenty years my friend, my relation with you, will not be right. Our relationship will not be peaceful; our hearts will be filled with hate and vengeance; jealousy; and each time that our magnetic atmospheres come into contact, we will feel a tremendous tension which brings some form of suffering until this matter is resolved.

The second part. After your analysis is made, you will most probably realize how much you have been harming others. You will see that you hurt others in thousands of ways, as well as others having done the same to you. The only way to start to solve this situation is to apply this fifth point, which is: Forgive all the harm that others have done to you. You can forgive them because you have understood that they did not want to harm you; that there is this same side within them too; this selfish side, the involutive part that they do not have under control either. This is why you must forgive all of them. You must go to them, to each one you included in your analysis and which you have harmed, and you must ask them to forgive you. Yes, I know this is difficult, but you must learn to do it! You must do this because once you have asked for forgiveness;, your act of acknowledging your guilt, even if it was not conscious, breaks the chains that keep you imprisoned to your past mistakes. Then, you must ask for forgiveness from yourself. Do it consciously; you have to forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made in the past. Do it honestly and very sincerely. If you decide to do all of these things, if you conclude to eliminate the selfish side in you, the side that harms others; the violent part in you; the inconsiderate side; then you can forgive your own mistakes and the harm that you have done in the past. When done, erase them from your mind. Then you have to ask the Cosmos for forgiveness; forgiveness from the Law; you must ask your Creator for forgiveness; to your Superior Masters; and to your Spirit for having included them in your problems because when you did not control your selfish side, you included them in the troubles you created. Your involutive experiences were felt by the Cosmic forces, you obscured the Light, and you are guilty of creating a world of violence, hatred, and prejudice. This Principle will help you understand that you are guilty of adding to the filth of our world and to the lack of good relationships between men.

These are the main points. If you continue to work with them, and I hope you do, the chains that keep you in darkness will start to break apart. If you don't break them you'll not be able to reach your liberation, nor the Light.

Let’s analyze the situation. On one side we unknowingly harm others, although at times we do it with full awareness, but not often. The side in us that hurts others is a blind side, it is the part that does not love others because it is not aware of them, hence it thinks only of itself. This part is not under our control, it is selfish and has been the cause of all the harm we caused to society; to the world; to others; and yourself in the past. It is also the part that keeps you apart from others; it is a part that consumes your vital forces, the energy that your Creator provided for the realization of your life plan. Your strategy to control this part is to follow the 5 points mentioned above. But all of this work is difficult, we know it because we went through it too. In the past we were slaves of our selfishness too; we caused harm to others; we hurt and disturbed others for our own benefit; but one day, the light took us to people who were able to dominate the selfishness in them, and we started to work on ours with their help. We came across difficulties, and you most probably will find them too, but if we could do it so can you. The ninth Principle, of not harming others and avoiding being chained, will provide you with methods to reach your liberation.

Now them, I repeat, we know it is quite difficult to carry through with what we are asking you to do. Even so, think for a moment, do you know of a person who does not have any type of problems with others, and who never harms anyone? That is, a person that is loved by everybody, a harmonized person, balanced? This does not mean that he has to sacrifice his life to the benefit of others, oh no! This would be asking too much, right? It simply means he is in the correct relationship with others, he is in balance. You must be patient with yourself because this state is reached step by step. Don't think that you will accomplish this overnight. And don't think you'll become the champion of altruism, jumping from one extreme to the other. Start with one person at a time.

Now lets look at the most important part, which is to harm yourself by reason of selfishness. Harm to others chains you, but when you harm yourself the chaining is even greater. Our selfish part, when identified with our body, will do many things in its favor, even against your emotions, your mind and your spirit. Sometimes the selfish force identifies itself with your emotions; your desires, hurting your body, mind, and spirit. At other times it works with your mind against the others. It is an energy, a tremendous force with the goal of keeping us grounded in the mud of the earth.

You must analyze this. Analyze yourself! How does the selfishness of the body harm my emotions and my mind? The selfishness of the mind, how does it harm my emotions and my body? The exaggerated desire of my emotions, how does it harm my mind and my body?

My friend, selfishness, which is the principal cause of antagonism between people and clashes within ourselves, causing our spirit to involute. Our spirit, after much suffering in the superior realms, has finally been able to reach human form. Don’t allow the selfishness within, the involuting energy, to drag your spirit to lower realms; to even darker and deeper places. Wake up, wake up my friend, this is for your liberation. The liberation from pain and suffering; the liberation of any opposing condition. You will own yourself, you'll be master of your world, appreciated by others; a recognized person because of good judgment, for your balance and good relations with others. You will see that your life will be a great deal easier. A person that is dominated by selfishness smells bad; nobody wants to be near him, while a person free of selfishness is the light of his world. You might say, well, everybody is selfish. Yes that is the way it is, for it is one of the big lessons that we have to learn in our incarnation in this school called Planet Earth. Perhaps the most important thing to learn in these lessons is that the belief we are separate entities is untrue. No person is different or better then another, he is a part of the Whole instead of being one apart. But you will not be able to be One with your Spirit; with your Creator; with your mind; your emotions; your fellow human beings; with the world, unless you have fully dominated the beast within you called selfishness. This beast has you eating poison every day, and what is worse, giving poison to others; to work mates, spouses, and children. We are joined with them for centuries yet to come because the law of cause and effect don't always have time to work out in one lifetime; sometimes it takes many lifetimes, and is continued to later lives where they can be completed. Can you understand this, not to be able to free yourself because you still owe something to somebody for a harm you did some 500 years earlier? This is called Karma. Y

You now have in your hands the instructions needed to bring your life into balance, including your selfishness, so as to be able to stop creating harm towards other people and life. Be patient, and ACT! May God bless you!

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE UNION

My friend! You should treat others the same way that you want to be treated. This is the tenth Principle for you Liberation, the tenth door that you have to open to accomplish your final liberation over the circumstances and situations of life.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. What does it really mean to treat others the way you want to be treated? You have this answer within, but you may not be aware of it, so let’s see if we can dig it out. Example: Get a paper and pencil, start to think about the ways you want your wife/husband to treat you, and write them down. "Do you want her/him to be loving, caring, understanding, kind and full of life?" "How do want her/him to act towards you?" Write your answers in as much detail as you can. Then, do the same with your children, "How do you want them to act towards you?" "What do you expect from them?" Write down your thoughts. Then, "How do you want your friend John Smith to act towards you?" The other friend, and the other. " How do you want your boss to treat you? your partner? your work mates? what do you expect of them?" "What kind of treatment do you want them to have towards you?" "How do you want life to treat you?" "How do you want your parents to be towards you?" And so on and so forth.

You must do this analysis for 14 days. Dedicate a time each day for this. Also ask yourself the following questions, "How do I want to be treated by the cat, the dogs of the neighborhood, the birds, our rose bush. You must write these answers down too.

This Principle states that you have to treat others the way you want to be treated. After you have done all your writing about the treatment you want from others, set your mind into acting out and then doing to them exactly what you want from them. If you want patience from your spouse, then start to treat her with patience. You have to start to treat her with patience because of the Law of Cause and Effect she will then treat you in the same manner. What you give to others in the form of your actions towards them they will give back to you in a greater amount. You now have in your hands the possibility of creating for yourself a new world, of creating the future that you want. This is in your hands. The next step is yours. But be smart; use what you've already learned; don't expect your wife to be understanding by herself; you must induce her to be. You must induce her to express patience. Each human being, my travel companion, has in him all of God's attributes. Each human being has within the virtues of love, affection, kindness, caring, harmony, intelligence, comprehension, commitment; we have all of them in us. But we also have selfishness within us, violence, and bad temper. Within mankind can be found all the good and all the bad there is in the world. Fix this in your mind and understand it; accept it as fact. Then make up your mind to get the best out of others and yourself by studying and acting according to this Principle. Treat others the way that you want them to treat you.

Let’s see if this is clear; the formula is very simple, for all human beings have in them all of the virtues and all of the kindness of their Creator. But we have also collected all of the garbage we’ve inherited from this world: the selfishness, vanity, arrogance, negligence. According to our behavior towards others so will they react because so is the law of action and reaction. Your behavior towards others is the action; their reaction will come back to you the same way but stronger - that's the law.

What do I want out of John Smith, how do I want him to act towards me? I don't want anybody to lie to me, therefore I will have to always tell the truth to others; my speech and my acts will be truthful. If I want people to act in good faith towards me, then I will act in good faith first. Do I want people to have good will towards me? Then I will act with good will towards others. But this cannot be at random, not just words. This is according to a concrete plan. You must make a note of all the people that you see often, and you must try to get out of them the best virtues and qualities that lie inside them. If you have done the analysis that was explained in the beginning of this Principle, then you will have carefully written down the kind of behavior you expect to receive from each of the people that you encounter. By now you will have started to work at it in a dedicated way, such as, today I will act carefully and with kindness to my wife. Today I will act in a considerate manner towards my partner; today I will listen to John Smith, and so on and so forth. It is a matter of setting for yourself daily goals for your relations with others, which by the way, this includes your animals, domestic and wild, and other life too. Then just wait. Let the law work.

Now, what are the obstacles in doing this? Let’s see, what are the problems that you might encounter? How can we carry through this plan to harmonize your relationship with others? Simply put, you have to apply your good will.

What is good will? It is it your good intentions and your best wishes for your relations with others. Your good will will show itself only if you erase from your mind and memory all of your past conflicts with others. How can I do this? Once a day (dedicate just 5 minutes) close your eyes, be relaxed, project onto your mental screen the image of the person with which you want to connect, and see in the eyes of your imagination the harmony of this interaction. See in your mind that now all of the problems of the past have been eliminated. Shake hands and embrace the person; see your common behavior as in harmony and peace, both in balance. All of this, of course, is on your mental screen. Then, do another exercise once per day. Stand in front of a mirror, look at your reflection and smile! Smile relaxing all of the muscles of your face; you must learn to smile; you must practice how to smile with kindness, with good will, with amiability showing the harmony you have within you. Observe the muscles of your face and its features; observe the look in your eyes while you are doing this. What do you see? It might be that you have a smile, but your eyes are full of anger. This can happen! In our normal relations with others we do not realize this fact because inside of us there is this part that spoils our relations. How many times, my friend, has it happened when you see a person? How many times have you approached your wife to tell her that you love her, that you need her, and the only thing you had was a gesture that lacked consideration, one of impatience or criticism. How did this happen? Simply because the part of us that controls us showed itself through our eyes. Others do not realize that we had the best of intentions in reaching out to them, so what was perceived or seen was from the eyes, our look, and the expression on our face.

First, you must do the exercise of the mental projection. You should visualize it daily on your mental screen. The second step is to practice the smile, a kind and amiable smile in front of a mirror. Do this until you get your face muscles to be relaxed, and you see the light and good will in your eyes.

The third activity is meditation. For many months, whenever you have a chance, set your mind to meditate about the behavior of others. Ask yourself: "Why does this person treat me in this manner?" "Why is my spouse like this?" You will see, my friend, we are human beings and unfortunately our comprehension and intelligence does not reach very far. We rarely put ourselves in the shoes of others, we seldom place ourselves in their position; we rarely see what really hurts their hearts. It might be physical ailments, conflicts, problems, obstacles, economic situations, you know them well. Think about your own situation, what or how many disturb you? What happens is that we are not aware of those facts when we relate to others. The only thing we care to be aware of is to be loved by others, cared for; and when it does not happen this way, we blame them. This is not the way it should be, my friend! All hearts are compressed by anguish; people have depressions; there are problems that on the surface seem to have no solution. Our duty is to understand this. When somebody approaches you and you see that this person is in a bad mood, do not demand a marvelous behavior from him, the behavior of a free person. Do the contrary, place yourself in his shoes; you must reach him to understand what is the something disturbing this person. Whatever the reason for him to be this way; you should smile at him with the same smile that you practiced every day; show him your good will, listen to him. When you are bothered, my friend, when you have problems, and you try to reach somebody, what kind of treatment do you expect? Wouldn't you like the other to smile at you, to show you understanding, to listen to you with the attention that shows that he is forgetting about himself, that in this moment he will be there for you? Well, do the same with others. Take into consideration that our world and our life is full of anguish, and with serious problems, where few people have accomplished their liberation. When this situation must be understood, one will not be demanding. You, who are on your way to understanding the Laws of Life, must insure that you present the most marvelous behavior (good will) towards others. Others will respond, and they will learn from your behavior. You will be showing others how to act. It is senseless to tell your spouse that she has to be kind or understanding. But if she can see your kindness day after day, your understanding, your consideration, your patience, then you will be giving her the example and she will start behaving in the same manner.

This is the Law, my friend, and don't forget. We cannot be islands; we must learn to treat others well, to live with others. This is the greatest richness that a human being can have, living in harmony with others. Good relations with others will bring you the time, strength, power and will to carry through very important goals.

Now there are the children to consider. Imagine the situation of the innocent little ones who do not know a thing about anything yet. While they live with us they perceive our anger, our bad moods and temper, the discordant and non-harmonious things we express; it all registers in them. But they also note and record the considerate and thoughtful behavior, all kindness, comprehension and love; and they will in turn show these characteristics to their parents. Treat your children in the same manner as you do the adults in your life and according to these Principles, you can't imagine how much suffering you can save in this world if you do this, for you and your families. Carry through with these exercises, my friend; make corrections to your relations with others; harmonize yourself; do not harm others or you will be chained; treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Invest your time into those things just like a person invests his time into gathering money to be able to purchase a house or to start a productive business. What is the sense of a beautiful house when you are alone in it. Believe me, my friend, it is preferable to live in a shack, being surrounded by people that are friends and loved ones, with whom one gets along well, people that appreciate us and that we appreciate as well. Is it possible to carry out any activity in your life, any work or really important and useful activity to humanity, by yourself? Do we not need the assistance of other people? True or not? But if we do not know the Laws and Principles, if we do not practice those Principles, the Principles that will take us to the Light, how can we hope for great activities?

Do not pay attention to the side in you that will tell you that it is difficult, that others will not understand, that you do not have the time to do it, that people are worthless, that the world is rotten. All of these excuses and justifications are worthless, my friend, for they do not solve any problems for us. We must recognize them as temptations that strive to keep us down in the mud; and we must establish within us the goal to understand. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself without friends? What would you do if your children left you? your spouse would not speak to you? your parents would not see you? You would be alone, alone with the human sicknesses. I guarantee it my friend, this is the worst that can happen to you, to be totally alone. Do not start to believe that this cannot happen to you because this is happening to millions of people who violate these two Principles daily. One day they loose a friend, the next another; then another, every time that they make a new friend, a new relationship, their bad temper, their lack of understanding causes the rejection of the rest. There are endless struggles with spouses, the lack of relationships with the children...You are not this type of person, are you? Right now you are receiving in your essence the two Principles that state that if you harm others you will chain yourself, and if you treat others the way you want to be treated, you will free yourself. What will you do with them?

Our Creator, our common Father in His great kindness gave us the ninth and tenth Principles so that we can work for our liberation. Let’s put behind us our slavery to our agitated emotions, bad moods and wrong treatment to others, not forgetting that the Law of Cause and Effect is just and infallible. All the good and bad that you do to yourself and others will come back to you several times over, sooner or later, even much later, but it will in the end. So be judicious, be prudent, prepare yourself, be patient with yourself and set up a part of your day to build harmonious relations with others. Find and correct defective relations, ask forgiveness for all offenses and harm inflicted on others in the past. Don't forget to forgive yourself for your ignorance and your lack of interest in dominating the selfish beast within you. Get your good will up. Practice the exercises. You will be a person worthy of your Creator. You will be able to free yourself from the slavery of the phantom of selfishness. So one day, not far away, you will anchor into your Life Plan that which God has prepared for you, that which only you can do, and that life and the universe need in an imperative way to be able to fulfill the great Plan of Creation.

Load yourself up with strength and courage. Decide to do it, decide! We can tell you it IS worth doing. Remember that we have walked this path ourselves, and you can as well ! You are a human, you can! You will be the light of your world, the light in your society, the light among your friends, the harmony among your family and the blessing for those with you! May God bless you, keep you and illuminate you. And thank you.

THE PRINCIPLE OF DETACHMENT

Hello, my friend, hello whoever you are. Your name does not matter nor where you were born, how old you are, what is your race or color, your religion or belief, or who is your spouse, how many children you have, what kind of economic or social condition you enjoy, nor your profession or occupation is important. Where you live is not important. None of these are important. How much intelligence you have is not important, nor is your mental capacity. Your abilities for doing things is not important. The sport that you practice is not important or the political party you belong to or go to. I continue saying, none of these things are important. It does not matter if you are slim or overweight, if you are young or old, if your eyes are pretty or not. None of these things are important! By now you must be asking "Why are none of these important?" It’s very simple, none of these attributes belong to you. Let’s suppose that you were born in the U.S. Did you decide to be born there? Let’s also assume you are a member of the Richmond family, did you decide to be born into this family? Did you decide on being born rich or poor? Did you choose to belong to this or that political party? You might think you have. Let’s assume that you are a medical doctor; what brought you to have such profession? Well, you can say, I decided it when I was in high school, and then I will answer " What made you make that decision?" Did you create the causes that brought you to be a Doctor? Did you concentrate your attention on medicine? Or did something unknown to you make medicine appealing? Yes, my friend, it is a little difficult, one must meditate deeply to understand the meaning of the circumstances leading to your present condition. But what is of importance is to acknowledge that we did not choose our conditions. Let’s repeat, this Principle states that the circumstances that brought you to your circumstances are not important, what is important and matters greatly is that you must understand that you did not select them, nor anything else about your condition! You have not selected anything in your life. Causes totally apart from your will have brought you to whatever situation you are now in. It is not important what it was, or your attitude about it or life in general, nor your behavior, or what you are or what you have. You have not chosen any of these; you have not selected anything, absolutely nothing; you did not select the reasoning instilled in you from your childhood when you were not yet capable of reasoning, nor the behavior learned from your surroundings or family, nor the information that was received by your brain and your emotions, nor the habits that you were taught, not even the ways of being and of thinking. The important thing is for you to understand this; you have not selected a team, you have selected nothing! This means it is not important where you have been placed by your situations. This is the tenth Principle.

This is the Principle of Light that will illuminate your life; it will pull you out from your slavery away from pride, vanity, criticism, judging, accusing, defending what is yours, and blaming others. It will give you a full understanding of why you are here, wherever you are at this time. I repeat, the Principle states as follows: It is not important on where you have been placed by your previous situations.

The importance of this Principle lies in your understanding that you have not selected your life situations. Yes my friend, this a great truth. A very difficult truth to grasp and understand because the hard part is that it is a truth difficult to accept. Our pride cannot accept the fact that we have never decided a thing in our lives and proclaims everything belongs to it, absolutely everything. But a profound analysis of yourself will bring you to the truth of this Principle; it will carry you to the light and will free you from the illusion of multiple untruths and conflicts. You have not decided on anything in your life! Everything has happened in your life without you having anything to do with it. This is the truth.

Let’s go back to your youth. Did you decide the kindergarten where your parents placed you? Did you choose the friends you were going to have in school? Did you choose your teacher? Did you make your teacher act in this or that way ? Did you choose your brothers? Did you tell your parents to make a brother in this or that way ? To behave towards you in this or that way? When you were a child, you had no power to decide, and the family sent you impressions, millions of them every day. You were modeled as if plaster. Son, do this, son do that; you have to do this or the other! As beings that imitate things, we have imitated thousands and thousands of things from our parents, our family and friends. We have watched movies, TV, read books and newspapers and magazines. The heroes from books or movies have impressed things on us, so have our friends at play and family at home. For most years of our lives we have been influenced. There have been internal and external influences that have created fears in us, we have had needs, and these same needs have influenced us too. Our teachers in school influenced us without our knowledge; we thought we were learning. We have read newspapers, we have gone out with dates; we had friends in college; all of these have influenced us. Our brain, our mind and our emotions receive information; this gathered data is pooled together within us to form what we today know as our character, our temperament, and the cause of our semi-conscious decisions. The selection of a career, the selection of a spouse, the selection of the neighborhood where we live, the type of house, the kind of friends and car we have, the sports club, the political party, all came from this same pool. Do you call yourself a Christian? Supposing your answer is yes, then you are also imprisoned by your religion.

I believe that you are a thoughtful person, that you have common sense, that you realize why you have not selected any of the things you have. Reasons completely apart from your will have affected you from your early childhood and have carried you to do whatever you did to become you today. This, my friend, is the way it is for us all, for all the human beings that inhabit this planet.

You have not selected anything, believe it! It does not matter where you were placed by situations or circumstances. What are the conclusions, my friend, of this understanding ? They are as follows :

1. Starting today as you study this Principle repeatedly, you will be able to realize that you do not have anything to defend because nothing is yours. Your ideas, your thoughts, your opinions, the way you see life, you do not have to defend any of these. In the same manner you do not have to attack the ways of other people, for they as well have not selected the way they are today. Circumstances have placed them there, just where they are at this time. So what's the sense of criticizing them? What is the sense of being proud of what you have? Did you select it yourself ? I know this is going to shock you, but it is the truth. If you understood that foreign forces to your own conscious and will have brought you to have what you have today and what you are, then what is the sense of being proud of something? What is the sense of judging the behavior of other people?

Judging... criticizing...have no reason at all! It does not make any sense, my friend. All the people you know are what they are by reasons that were not controlled by them, totally apart from their will. We are like machines. Like a cassette where a recording has been made, we have stored within us a whole lot of data, emotional perceptions, ideas and thoughts. We have been told to behave in this or that, to do this or that, and we are simply repeating, over and over again these same instructions. We are machines that duplicate the data within us in their different combinations. So the condemnation of ourselves or others, the judging, the criticizing, being proud, spoiled, self-conscious, self-centered, egocentric, believing that one is superior to the rest, or thinking that anyone is inferior to you, is a sovereign stupidity.

If circumstances have placed you into a superior status, you are really not superior because you did nothing to be superior. Perhaps someone was born in favorable surroundings, or perhaps in less favorable conditions. Is either situation reason to condemn this person? Do you think you are so special that you can brag about something? None of this my friend... Right now I'm touching your common sense, for you know that this is true. Then if each human being has not decided his own present situation, his ways of being and living, but received impulses from some source foreign to his own will, then society as well must be in the same situation and the world too.

Powerful influences move society to act in one way or another. A country is brought into the condition in which we see it now. This means the United States is not better than Mexico, and that Canada is not better than Russia, nor that Capitalism is better than Communism. Different people accept the Anarchist philosophy or Existentialism, Militarism or Socialism, Muslim or Christian, white or black, but you must see, my friend, none of these were selected by anyone, nor did any decide to belong to any of these. The people are there because of influences uncontrolled by them, tremendously more powerful then individuals.

Wake up to this reality; reflect on it; meditate on it; and the best way to understand it is for you realize that you have not selected any of these things. You must realize this and wake up; you must analyze yourself! If you are good, perhaps your parents inspired you to be good; but if you are not good it is because you want it to be so. You were not asked or expected to select, at the ages of 5, 6 or 7 years old, the type of life that you wanted to live, no way! When you were about to be born, nobody asked you if you wanted goodness or ignorance, understanding or stupidity. If your parents inspired you to be good, that is why you are; so you do not have to be proud of this fact. Your parents as well were influenced, and those who influenced them as well were influenced by others. So realize this and understand it; you have not chosen any part of your life, nor your height or skin color, or the money that you have in your pocket, nor the type of work you do. What about your spouse, what brought you two together? You selected her, right? Come on, my friend! Throughout your years, both of you have been bombarded by influences, perceptions and images about men and women in general, and with ease you both adapted fairly well to those influences. You and she can be good looking or not, smart or dumb, active or a couch potato; but neither of you decided a thing about your characteristics nor about who found whom. For you it’s true you think you found her, and she in her mind thinks she found you. It happened that you found her and she found you in the same manner that you got your profession, the same way you found your job. All happened within the alternatives that you had within your reach at the time.

My friend, I sense your thoughts are on the right path. We are nothing, we are a body with minds and emotions that at birth were apparently empty. At this moment, we find ourselves with thousands and thousands of thoughts, ideas, information, emotions, fears, needs, worries, problems, and our share of conflicts. All of these are within us, but they are not us. We have been like a cork carried by the wind and tides in the middle of the ocean, and we still are. We are slaves to the influences that reach us. The influences that we perceive every day through our five senses, and through our mind and our emotions. We are nothing but slaves. We are programmed by stellar influences, our surroundings, politics, our profession, and we try to find the simpler way, the most ideal, according to the way we are and see things. But nevertheless we are slaves, nothing but! We have never selected a thing! Nothing. Do you like artichokes? Why? Why do you dislike corn? Why do you like some things, and dislike others? It’s not logical, is it? What we should really be asking is what are the influences or causes that made you like some things and dislike others? Why do you do some things and not others? Why might you approve of capitalism instead of communism ? What are the deep causes that brought you to this thinking. What were the influences that made your decide for one and not the other?

Yes, my friend, we are slaves; we are slaves of circumstances. Everything has happened to us. We have been programmed; we have been carried; we have been taken through the ocean of life upwards and down again, backwards and forward; and who knows in what position you find yourself today? But all of these are, again, not important.

The important thing now is for you to start thinking of how to be free from this situation. How can a person start to make decisions for his own life? If you have understood the truth contained in the eleventh Principle, that everything has happened to you, not chosen by you, that it is not important where you find yourself today, or in which situation: if you now accept this then you are a candidate for free will. You are a candidate in starting to understand how you can free yourself from all that which is not yours, and start to make your own way. You will start to understand the reasons why things happen. You will find the reason for your life, but it is mandatory that you first know you never selected anything, you must understand it and accept it. To do so is a long and tedious working procedure. But, oh, is it worth it!

The work goes like this. First study this principle for 49 days, every day when you go to bed and again when you make up in the morning. Be warned about this work, don't allow any restlessness, disappointment or depression to creep into your effort. You must be strong and alert to gain this understanding. You must start with an open mind and be prepared for a period of mis-understanding before the Principle's full meaning sweeps over you. Be careful and alert, especially in the middle part of this work before you gain the full understanding. Don't loose your step and make the situation worse. Work steadily and with confidence for the 49 days. Be conscious of your condition each time you're ready to start a work period. If you get the urge to do something else at this time, you must consider that urge as your warning flag! Be alert and ask yourself, "Who wants to do this or that?" You may not be able to know where the urge came from, but you'll notice the difference between the thing you want to do and the "something" source that urges you to do something else. This difference is very important to you because you start to directly experience the difference of what you want, that is to work for your liberation, and the urge that comes to you from the outside and is interested in you doing what it wants. You will slowly discover that you do not have the free will you thought you had. Let’s say at another time in your work you get a sudden thought of being angry at someone you know. If you're alert, you'll know it's another flag. You're being diverted away from what you want to do. What to do? Stand up to the thought right away, just as you would in your normal life. The difference, of course, is this time you're standing up to an urge, not a person. Tell the urge you don't want to get angry, you're doing something else, and you'll see the urge fade and go away. Not all situations are confrontational. Let’s say you're on your way out of the house to go buy something and you remember this work of the 11th Principle. Stop and ask yourself: "What is making me buy this?" "What are the reasons pushing me to buy this?" You must be very objective, very impartial, very honest with yourself. You must have the attitude of a person that insists on knowing the truth, a person that is truly willing to verify the veracity of the eleventh Principle. Look at others, see what they do, and ask yourself the question, My friend, what brought you to do that? Did you decide it yourself ? He would affirm it and at this point you can gauge if the influence on him is his own will or some outer force. Do this from time to time without telling your friends what you're doing. This is a way to gauge yourself on your progress. Your friends, if not doing this same work, are at the same point you were when you took on this work, and as you learn to discern the difference of your will from the outer influences, you'll start to see the difference between you and your friends. Work at this Principle every day for the 49 days, morning and evening. It’s not enough to feel you understand it now. You have to remind yourself every day that within you are the illusions that decided your life; they are very deep within you. You have habits of condemning, of judging, of being proud, conceited, of thinking that you are superior to the rest, of defending what is yours, attacking what belongs to others, and this does not go away overnight! So build up your courage and start this work! Do this first part of the eleventh Principle. You did not select your position in life. Understand it! Everything happens just like the rain.

Very well, my friend, I know that the first part of this principle has not been easy for you. If you understood it’s meaning and you meditated on it, you must have arrived to the question: If I did not select a thing, absolutely nothing in my life, then what or who did? What force or power brought me to be the way I am today ? It’s a logical question.

My friend, the accumulation of data, of personality, character, temperament, fortune, economic condition, thoughts, ideas, all you consider you are today we will call your personality, which is the role that you are now playing in life. You are playing a role of being a person in this or that manner, that lives and acts like you do. All of these are not you, because it is a role. Your personality and everything else has been brought to you. You are what you are by reason of your essence. The essence is a part of us, the Being is a part of the Divine Spark within us, our other ego, our intimate ego. This is the causing part. It resembles a magnet, for it attracts everything that it likes and everything that it fears. It has attracted for you your physical body, the mind you have today, the accumulation of your emotions, your position, everything that you do in life. This is the true player, what you consider you are today is nothing but your personality. It is the role being played by that spirit, by that actor in the concert of human life.

I cannot know to what point you are conscious of your intimate self, of your other self, but it is your archetype. It knows the reason why you are what you are today. If you are good or bad, intelligent or not, wealthy or poor, what you are is not important for it knows why you are that way. It has decided it that way; it has molded you. This is your intimate self, the entity that incarnates from life to life, and plays roles through the personalities it puts together. This is the part that selects where to be born, in what country, to which parents. It is the cause of your studying this or that; and how to behave in front of others. Your logical conclusion from this information is that you start communicating with this higher part that is the cause of your life and knows what to do from now on. This is the part that will make a hell out of your life unless you establish contact with it, unless you start to communicate with it, just like you communicate with your spouse. Unless both parts can get into an agreement, unless they can understand each other, unless they can work hand in hand, actor and role to realize your Life Objectives, you will be a failure.

Now then, how can this be accomplished ? First, in the past, have you felt this force, this entity inside of you ? Sometimes, when you were going to do something wrong, did you sense it? Did you not feel something sharp in your heart that was telling you not to do it? At other times, when you were doing something and you were about to stop, did you not feel this force in you that said "you have to continue, you have to go ahead and finish it?" Its popular name is our conscience, but it is our real essence. It is the indestructible part in us that has come down from higher realms, falling into the realm that is this world.

Your job is to communicate with it so as to stop its fall, and together with the strength that it has, help it return again. How can you communicate with this "I AM," with the "myself," with that ghost unknown to us but has always been there?

Well, starting today, seven times per day, start talking with/to your "I AM Presence." Continue until it shows signs of life, until you have done it, my friend. This work can last a lifetime. Isolate yourself from your daily chores, even for one minute consciously talk with your Presence. Relax, shut your eyes, and converse with "Him" as you would with a close friend. How is this done? Let us suppose that I decide to do it, I will clear my mind of all my daily matters; I will withdraw from the role that I play in my daily life; I will shut my eyes; and I will say: "I know that I am not. I know that I am nothing; I know that I am not my mind; I know that I am not my ideas, I know that I am not my body; I know that I am not my emotions; I know that I am not so and so; I know that I have not selected a thing; and I know that you are there. I do not know who I am nor who is this talking; who is it that thinks; who am I? I know that you are there. They say that I am you, but as I do not know who you are, nor what you are, nor how you are, so then I do not know who I am. Sometimes I perceive you and feel you. Sometimes I feel your impulse warning me not to do something wrong. The majority of times I fail; some others I can see you as something good. When I set my mind to do some task and I cannot continue, I feel your impulse, your backing, allowing me to continue. I am told that you are dual as well. I am told that I have to be in an agreement with you, so here I am. I will remain silent for a while, in complete silence, and when you are ready to communicate with me, I will know it."

Yes, my friend, this is one of the thousands of ways that this can be done. It is to forget the entire world, forget all of your tasks, seven times per day. Especially at sunrise and before going to bed, shut your eyes and establish communication. "I do not know who I am; I do not know were I am going now; in a few moments I will not be conscious, but I know that it is you that is in me and will continue to nourish my organs by letting me rest. I do not know where I will go in a few seconds, but I know that you will be there to care for me. Sometimes I realize that you do not care for me enough, for you make me have dreams not very pleasant, we could say. I am eager to communicate with you; I am anxious to be one with you. I am anxious to be you."

In the morning as well, my friend, every day when you are awake, do not move out of bed immediately. Just be awake with your eyes shut, and communicate again. "I have just received in my consciousness something that I do not understand; I do not know how it came to me. You must know it; for you are the reason for my life; you are who attracts our circumstances and events. You know whom I will see today; you know what I have to do today. I think I know what, but it does not always happen. What you want happens most of the time. Make me feel your presence during the day. You are at a level of more light, and if I’m going to make a mistake, please let me know ahead of time."

This way, my friend, seven times per day, from now until the end of your lifetime, communicate ! Communicate and remember that your other self, your real self is down here with you It is a spirit that has fallen from the levels of light to the levels of darkness. It is dual and fluctuates between the levels of good and bad. Not all the impulses that you feel from him are the right ones. You must discern and differentiate yourselves; you must know the difference; you must determine this step by step. You must be awake so when you are being pushed to do something that will involute you more you can decide, using your own free will and discretion that you now have, to do those things that you know will help your evolution.

You must study the Law; you must study the Principles; you must be able to see the truth and uncover it. You must place yourself firmly on the path of evolution. One day He will know that you have decided to experience evolution, and later you will realize that He is the possessor of your force. You will know that all the desires that you feel are coming from Him, good and bad. Without the force that He controls, all your desires and mental needs are worth nothing. At this point you must start balancing your excesses and your instincts, especially your instincts because they can be very dangerous. He can bring you closer to our common Creator thousands of times faster than you can.

We're going to call your right hand "your personality" and your left "your essence," your other self. These two must be joined and must agree to experience evolution together. Your essence cannot evolve without you as a personality by itself, and your personality does not have a reason to be without your essence. The two have to join to procreate the real self, what in all truth is what you both are together. This real self can and should have free will, choice, power, capacity, omnipotence. It would exist in a level of light much closer to the Creator. This work, my friend, is commonly known as re-alignment.

You are misaligned with the divine spark within you, and you must re-align yourself! Ordinarily your essence shows itself emotionally. It is what we call your emotions, your wishes, while your personality would be your mind. You must communicate with your essence; you must convince it to evolve; and you must learn to use the force it possesses so that you can evolve. You are in the world with your physical body and with your mind. You have a choice. You know what the right thing to do is, but you don't have the strength to do it alone.Your energy is worn down daily by your essence manipulating your desires, attitudes and behavior, especially with criticisms, anger, violence, when you talk too much, when your five senses experience too much, with excess sex, boredom and abandonment. The energy received from your essence is worn down by these things so you must block them in order to have energy for your evolution. Wake up! Learn to communicate first, then get into an agreement with your essence so you can start learning to control your mind. If you can accomplish this, you and your essence will together walk the path of evolution. You will again learn to obey Cosmic Law. But while you do not have control of your mind, then it is your essence who will continue to trigger the lower instincts and desires you daily experience as thoughts and images in your mind.

Here you have the system, my friend. You have not selected anything, you did not have a choice on your situation. By the law of your life, you were born by reason of your essence and it was He who decided everything. Your essence is a fallen entity. Your duty, your work is to investigate the truth, which are the Laws of Evolution and it's Principles. Learn to control your mind so later you can communicate with your essence and together walk hand in hand on the path of evolution.

Be alert! Be awake! Do all of these exercises without exceptions, day after day. Also important, search for those people that have awakened to this reality before you have. Search for the people who are doing all they can to accomplish their liberation and get together with them. They will be able to help you! Then, look for the help of your Creator. It is in you and you must know how to distinguish between your Creator and your essence. As they are both internal, you must know how to tell them apart. Direct your call to your Creator. Your Creator is neutral. He is a spirit that only observes the struggle between the personality and the essence. In some people, the role tries to dominate the actor, the essence. In other people, the role is weaker, and the essence with its lower impulses carries them to their low life. A disaster.

The man who wants to evolve is the man who has to balance the essence with the personality. The man has to make the essence grow up to the level of the personality, then hand in hand, with the aid of the Creator and the Ascended Masters, he will start, step by step, on the evolutionary path.

The twelve great doors that can take you to evolution and to the understanding of the reason for Being are in the twelve Principles, with their respective messages of how to carry them to completion. These are recorded in written form adapted from audio cassettes for release on the Internet (www.unixi.com). Get them, do the exercises, understand them, meditate on them, because they are for your liberation. My friend, we too have done this work in the past and still do it. Each day that passes we advance more and more. Our will is more powerful each day. Our free will is greater daily. Every day we respond less to the lower instincts and desires of our essence. Every day we are more secure on the paths of evolution; we fall less into undesirable circumstances; we waste less energy by not criticizing, condemning, judging, being proud, and thinking that we are a great something or other. It is because we have understood as stated by this Principle and we have realized that we have not decided a thing in our lives. Suddenly we find ourselves with plenty of time; suddenly we are in a position of choosing. We have a small will, a small free will; we live in a higher harmony with others; we are doing something solid for our community, for our society, for our family. We are more humble people. We have realized how little we know about our real being, about our real life. We have realized that we need the help of those who have gone before us on this path. We have realized that life is impossible without our Creator. We now know that it is not worth it to make wrong decisions, that the only thing that really matters is our life plan, our reason for being. We have realized that unless we carry through and practice that for which we were born, anything else we do is senseless, is futile, has no reason for existing, and is in vain.

Yes, my friend, many people around you may be carrying through with this. In general, the people who are working at this and on themselves, the people who understand their true sense of life and are fighting and struggling, do not shout it out. But you can tell who they are by their great simplicity and kindness, by their efforts and absence of criticism, by their lack of exaltation for the family, country, religion, belief, race, or profession. Perhaps you find them in parks, alone up to a point, with a certain look in their faces, somewhat sad. You will not see them as much in social gatherings.

My friend, they say that when the student is ready, the teacher presents himself. I know that there is great kindness in your heart. I know that you have common sense, I know that you are intelligent, rational and prudent, but I know as well that you are all of these when you are awake and conscious. I also know that within you there is something worse; I know because we are the same. You must fight; you must fight it, my friend. Set up alarms everywhere! Notes to remind you what you have to do, because when your consciousness realizes that you are committed, that you have decided to evolve, hell itself will start in your life, externally as well as internally. This is why this road, with its liberation, without the Creator and without the help and backing of those who have done it before you, is almost impossible.

Pay close attention to this work; think about it; meditate on it. You have it in your hands to continue being a machine, repeating over and over your past mistakes, and even worse. Now is the time for you to wake up. It is in your hands to be satisfied with just being a personality. Or maybe you have the desire for an internal union, the desire of being a free person, a person with a will, a person who will discover his plan of life, and will carry it through, in spite of all the obstacles life throws at him.

For either condition you choose, my friend, may our common Creator shine His Light on you. May He bless you and care for you if you ask Him to. The great master said "Knock and it will open, ask and you will get your answer." There is much wisdom in these words, so carry through with this work! I feel your desire, so go ahead with it !

THE PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMUTATION

Hello, my friend, hello to the "cell" who is integrating the archetype of man. Hello to the part of the whole that is incarnated into your physical body and that you name "myself." Another cell, another part of the "whole" salutes you; a cell, a particle, in essence similar to yours and One with you.

This is the last of the Principles that the Whole, our common Father, has provided for application by all His cells that consider themselves separate from Him and that wish to return to Him, to be free and be a part of the Whole again.

It is a Light Principle; it is a Liberation Principle; it is a Harmony Principle; it is a Love Principle; it is a Principle of Understanding; and an active summary of the first eleven Principles. "The Contradictory or Uniting Acts accumulate in you." If you repeat the acts of internal unity, nothing will be able to detain you in your Liberation and return Home; you will be as a nature force that nothing can resist in your liberation. I repeat, as you act in unity with or counter to your evolution, whichever, they will accumulate within you. If you repeat your contradictory acts, you will continue to be separated and distant from the Whole; you will remain in your own hell. If you repeat your uniting acts, nothing will be able to hold you from your evolution. Your Liberation will be assured; you will be as a nature force that will not find resistance on its path.

Yes, my friend, your contradictory and uniting acts accumulate in you. How can this be of use to me? What is the meaning of this twelfth principle? What is a contradictory act? A contradictory act is when you feel the impulse to do something, and you do not want to do it, or you should not do it, and the impulse wins the battle, and you end up doing it anyway. This is a contradictory act. When you do it the act and its results accumulate in you and add to your involution momentum, moving you backwards, instead of helping you move forward in your evolution back to the Whole, to our common Father, to our Creator. Contradictory acts move you closer to the darker dimensions of the Universe and its consciousness.

Let’s assume that you have to do something because you know you have to do it, and your emotions and your physical body are not backing you up. You end up having to abandon your plan of action. This means that your lower part has won the battle because of this contradiction, and it will be added to others within you. They accumulate within you, leading you down to darker dimensions of consciousness. You, along with other enslaved human beings, have accumulated a big account of contradictions from this and past lives on the Earth. But now you can do something about your account if you decide you want to.

Each contradictory act is a force that weighs in you like lead pulling you down into involution, setting you further apart from your Divine Essence, further distant still from harmony, balance and liberation. Meanwhile, all uniting acts create a force that accumulate with your previous uniting acts. This deposit acts as an energy or force giving you the power, capability and will to advance closer to your re-encounter with your essence and your Creator.

Yes, my friend, just like all of us, you must have these two deposits too. Some have more in the deposit of the positive force. Some have increased their negative deposits; they are pessimistic, gray, sad, not believing a thing, of themselves nor of others, of the world, nor of evolution. All their lives are dark and somber. These are people that attend to their low instincts, their impulses, to gluttony, to sexual recklessness, to lack of activity, to laziness and inertia, to imagination, to lack of hygiene, pride, anger, violence, vanity, thoughts of surrender. They see all the reasons why it is not possible to experience evolution. Each activity they engage in turns out being wrong; every attempt at something turns into a failure; their lower part dominates; their history is full of contradictory actions; they do not like their current situation in life; they always act in disarray. What they want to do they cannot because their deposit of uniting acts is empty; they do not have any type of will, including free will. They are slaves of their little world, of society, and of their darkness. Those whose deposits of uniting acts are loaded with energy are completely the opposite: they smile, are optimistic, are joyful. Even though they have a certain sadness in their look and the struggles of the fight can show in their faces, they are trying to balance their lives and lead their instincts to the Light. They are trying to return home. They are not always joyful but you can feel in them the trust they have in themselves. They are courageous, brave; they are fighters, intrepid; they have very solid ideas; they know exactly what they must do and why, which is the most perfect way of acting. They have faith in life and in others, faith in God and in humanity. They enjoy whatever they do; they help others, suffer for others, advise others, stimulate and motivate others to evolve. They always see the balanced side of things; they never do things because of reckless imagination; they know what and why they do things. All of us, my friend, have something from both sides; the struggle is great; it is a big effort. What can we do now that we have defined what our contradictory actions are? What can we do to understand acts of unity? A uniting action is when a man is conscious of his duties, knows what has to be done and even if his body and emotions refuse to obey. We searches for ways to balance them; he searches for ways to obtain a consensus with his mind, his emotions and his body in his duty of service to the Light. He will find the ways to carry through whatever he has to do, and when he does, it will be a uniting action. An act of unity is also when a person perceives from his spirit. He can see the Light of something, and he feels impulses to do it because he knows that it is an action for evolution. His mind, on the other hand, will refuse because it does not agree with this ways of thinking and doing. But this type of individual will start to look for ways to satisfy or balance the mind and the emotions for the something he perceived, even if it takes him twenty years of determination to do it. He will persist until a consensus between his mind, emotions, and physical body is reached and he can do what he must do. This will be a uniting action.

So we say a uniting action is when a person has an idea, has the power and strength to carry it through, concentrates his efforts towards doing it no matter what comes up, and no matter the time it takes, it will get it done. A uniting action is also when the idea for an act does not cause a problem between him and another person, when the idea does not harm anybody. On the contrary, it is based on justice and truth, benefits nature, society and the family. When the mind is set against an action, then a search has to be made for the next best way to act on it and, you'll see, you'll get it done! This is a uniting action. As each cause has its effects, if you do today a uniting act, this will be the cause of other uniting actions later, and so forth. The person who becomes used to performing in the world of unity and starts to enjoy its harmony will not abandon it again. This is the most valuable thing that a man can do. In the same way, he who is used to doing contradictory actions will acquire a heavy weight, and by the law of cause and effect, he will repeat them day after day until they become habits. Uniting actions can become habits as well as the contradictory ones do. So you see, my friend, we are full of habits, both unitize and contradictory.

Let's do a small inventory of what has accumulated in our two deposits, get paper and pencil for this. Ask yourself the following question, "What have I been doing against the Law, against what is right on the physical, mental, emotional levels; with others, with the family, at work?" You must prepare a good inventory, you must be impartial and objective. As a second step, "What have I been doing against my will? Which contradictory actions are in me?" "Which contradictory habit am I repeating in my work, with my spouse, my family, to others?" The results of this inventory, my friend, are many habits that you must start to get rid of; you must start to eliminate them from your system. These are the habits that take you, and are taking you day after day, more distant from the Cosmic Essence that gave us the reason for being . The further away we are from the Whole, or if we believe that we are, the more in the dark we find ourselves, the more ignorant we are, and more blows we receive from life. You must also make an inventory of your uniting actions, "What are the habits and what are the things that I enjoy doing, in the physical, mental, emotional levels; at work, with the family, my spouse and so forth?" "Now then, this taste, these tastes that I have, are they according to the Law?" "Do they agree with what must be done?"

Then we must inventory our duties. You have duties with society with humanity, with your Creator, with your body, with your mind and your emotions, with your spouse and your children. Write them down! "My duties with....?" and do the inventory of your duties according to your opinion. Now then, do you agree with those duties? If you do not agree with them, you will simply be taking on big conflicts, and will produce more contradictory actions. Let us assume you are the type of person that thinks that somewhere is a school where your children should get their education, that you do not have the duty of their education. There you have a problem! Perhaps you must support your family, your parents, this is a duty. But you might consider yourself exhausted from doing it, then there you have a problem and becomes a big conflict! Maybe you are doing some activity that does interest you, that you do no like; this produces in you contradictory acts. Maybe you are married and your instincts take you to look at another person, this will lead you to contradictory actions. You might not earn enough money, or you may tend to spend more than what you earn; these are contradictory acts. There are thousands and thousands more of these. You have to uncover all your actions against nature; you must bring them out into the open and start to work on their elimination.,

Then, you must start to create uniting actions. This means that you have to start organizing and giving structure to concrete actions which will bring your mind, emotions and body to join behind a goal. It will bring you into being one with your fellow beings, with your wife, in harmony with your children, with the fulfillment of duties as a human being. These would be uniting actions. A uniting action could be a prayer that puts your mind, emotions and body into the understanding that prayer can re-connect you with our Creator, it can help you evolve, and set in you the habit of prayer. This is a uniting action!

A uniting action is when your three parts are in harmony and work in harmony with the others for the fulfillment of a common goal or purpose. This is an evolutive act, as well as a uniting act. As you can see my friend, work must be done. The same as you normally take your physical bath every day, you wash with soap and shampoo, you dress up well, and go out on street; the time has arrived for your analysis and your emotional clean up too. The emotional clean up is the elimination of your instinctive habits that are mistaken, contradictory and erroneous, of the involutive desires that are in your heart. Then the shampoo, an internal, a mental clean up. The elimination of conflicts must be started and maintained, especially during the first 49 days, for your total clean up, physical, mental and emotional.

Open up a notebook and write down all your contradictory actions, all your habits that hurt your physical body, mind and emotions that induce in you conflict and contradiction. Then start to seriously think about building uniting habits, habits that will take you to evolution.

My friend, throughout the millennia, thousands of cells that integrate humanity have returned to the Whole. All of them, without exceptions, have had to go through this, and have left for us these Principles so that we in turn can accomplish the steps of our integration with the Whole, with our common Creator. There are no alternatives, there are no short cuts, nor is it necessary to search for other answers. The Law is in front of you, what needs to be done is in front of you. Study this part carefully, think and reflect on it, meditate on it, analyze yourself and then decide what you must do! You must decide to go forward because if you don't reach for your liberation you'll fall deeper into the arms of slavery in this dimension. Contradictory actions do accumulate and each weighs a ton. Each one, my friend - a ton! While the uniting actions are made of subtle energy, they purify the density of the contradictory energy They are the light that shines on your darkness, and they make you feel better, until the day will come when your body will fly to join the Whole from were it came.

Yes my friend, you must not try to do this work too fast; there are no magic touches; there are no sensational tricks. The magic is to work; the magic is to do, so be judicious; use your common sense, start to prepare your inventory of contradictory actions, of your negative habits, of your surrendering and pessimistic ideas, and do the work to eradicate them. Then you must start to prepare a complete list of uniting actions, both internal and external; actions that benefit society, others, the world where you live; actions that will give you the power and strength to face the deposit of your contradictory acts.

The twelfth Principle says your contradictory actions accumulate in you. If you repeat your contradictory actions, this will bring you to total darkness. If you repeat your uniting actions, you will be as a force of nature that will not find any opposition to your passing. You will go into the light, you will be integrated and return to your common Creator. Load yourself up with courage! Meditate about this passage and carry it through!

Part two.

Companion of the jail cell, companion of slavery, you already know why I am saying this, right? But at least you have an advantage over others because you already know the secret of how to escape from jail. Many people, in fact most of them, are on our beloved planet in jail and enslaved, but they don't know it, they are without the knowledge of why they are slaves, and even worse, not knowing the secret for their liberation.

If you have paid close attention to the first part of this message, if the word liberation touched your heart, if you have understood the reason why a uniting act can carry you to your liberation, and why a contradictory act can sink you into the profound depth of your consciousness, then you are very close, you are very close indeed, my friend. You can already receive a refund for this understanding, as the price for having carried out the contradiction inventory of the habits that must be eliminated. I will pass on to you the secret of the uniting action. Starting today and until the day of your liberation, and it does not matter when it will happen my friend, in a minute, an hour or a century...Every day, you must set your mind to do a uniting act in a conscious manner. How is this done?

Get a piece of paper and pencil and write: "Plan of conscious action" at the top, then do the following seven steps:.

First Part - It must first be preceded by an idea. A uniting act must be preceded by an idea. These ideas can be altruistic, of truth, of justice, of harmony, beauty, charity, wisdom, kindness, understanding, an act of good will, an idea of mercy; you will select one of these ideas each day to work on. Then, go on to the next part.

Second- You must consciously think why and for what purpose you are going to carry through this idea and this action. Let us assume you select an idea of altruism, an idea of doing something for somebody. You must consciously think what is the purpose of your act.

Third - You must complete this action without any expectation of something in return. I repeat, nothing in return, you must do this altruistic action without the thought that you will get a thing in return. It must be done for the simple fact of you carrying through with this uniting action, just for love of the action in itself.

Fourth - Think of what is the best way to put this idea into action.

Fifth - Through your creative vision, you must wish to carry this idea through.

Sixth - After you thought about the way to carry this idea through, you must search for an even more perfect way to do it.

Seventh - Do whatever it takes to do the altruistic idea.

These are the seven parts for the conscious action of carrying through uniting actions.

So, my friend, from now on and as long as you live, consider every idea that can provide you with evolution, place them into your uniting and conscious action plan. Include ideas that can cause evolution of the mind, emotions and body; all the ideas that can bring you closer to your Creator, your wife, your children, your work; all the ideas that can bring you perfection, benefit humanity and society, all the ideas that can benefit the neighborhood where you live and bring harmony to your family. Form your idea into a conscious and uniting plan, decide to act on it and do it! Every day, for a minimum of once per day, make this the most important part of your life.

Then, every day choose a habit, a contradictory habit, a habit that tends to involute you, a habit of something that you did before that was against the Law, that goes against your world, against others, and apply to it the conscious and uniting action for seven days. You will try to do away with each habit for seven days. First you must observe how this habit works on you, which part within you causes the impulse to do it. After a few days of observation, you must make an action plan and apply it to the opposite habit; that is if you are selfish, make an altruistic plan, if you lie about something, make a plan concerning truth, and so on. If you eat quite a bit, do the opposite, but not the contradictory opposite - the unitive opposite, you have to think of the why and for the purpose of what you are going to do. If I eat too much and this harms me, then I must think about this. I must think why and for what reason I will eat less, I must feel the goodness of the fact of eating less. I must look for the best way of doing it, the most intelligent way. If there is a perfect way of eating less, thinking of not doing it the wrong way. Then, don't forget that for every uniting action you perform with other people, you must not expect anything in return. You must do it only to complete your uniting action, no more.

The other secret for the uniting action is simple, choose seven people that live in your world and transmit this message to them, help them carry it through, understand it, see its truth, and teach them to carry through their uniting actions. This is the second great secret. The first is the conscious action; the second is the unattached action, helping others to do their uniting actions.

The third secret is prayer, but not of going to church on Sundays to recite "Our Father." You must understand the why and purpose for what you will pray. You must feel the desire to address your Creator. Search for the best way of doing it. You must prepare your own prayer. Search for the most perfect way of doing it, and pray without the expectancy of any type of answer, nor any results. Then teach other people to do it. It is not important if it takes you months to learn to pray. This is the greatest uniting action that can be performed by a candidate for liberation - the secret of prayer is the correct communication with his Creator.

The fourth secret for the uniting action: Each time you do a uniting action, each time you feel the power of the will of your Creator in you, give Him your Love and gratitude. Give thanks internally for being able to carry through your uniting action. Your deposit of uniting action will be increased as a result. Show each time that you are grateful for the expression of kindness, will, and of love; the understanding that you felt when performing a uniting action.

The fifth secret is: When you find yourself in difficulties and you feel your impulsive side wants to carry you into a contradictory action which would carry you into the violation of a Principle or a Law, ask your Creator with faith and with the force you gathered through your uniting actions, to come to help you. In this moment you will be able to balance the scale so as to not again do the wrong that you did so many times before.

These are the great five secrets that can help you in the realization of your uniting actions. As you can see, you must work at it, you must make this the most important thing in your life. It is a matter of your liberation, of your life, of transforming you into a free human being. But you must also be patient with yourself; you must do this slowly because you are ignorant of the ways and the implementation of the Cosmic Principles. You must know this and must realize that at this time you can not do it! And you must learn every day to do it like a professional, a professional at union with others and with your Creator. You must be conscious of the weight created by your past habits; your body weighs from your past contradictory actions. You must consider all this and reject your unrest, depressions, anguish, the lack of interest. You must be astute, awake, and you must not allow them to return you down to the mud.

If after studying the twelve principles, and meditating on them and reflecting on them, you still find you don't understand them, even though you have placed your best effort to master them, you still find great obstacles along your way, then you must search for the people that have walked the same path before you and ask them for help. These people who have gone ahead with this work are free or on their way to be free, and have experienced more evolution than you have will open their hearts to you. They understand you because of your good will and sincere intentions. They are everywhere around you, working quietly and silently. Only the people in search of their liberation can tell them apart, and look for their company. So prepare yourself my friend. All of us have walked where you are walking; all of us had our doubts and fears too. All of us felt at a certain time the depression, the conflicts, the anguish, the problems with the external world. All of us were warehouses full of contradictory actions. None of us had any knowledge of uniting actions, nor what is the meaning of the word union. We cried, we kicked, and then, we finally arrived to the only possible conclusion - the same one you are arriving at now yourself - that eventually this work must be done. Sooner or later you must go through this door. Why not start today? Why wait for more repeated problems that make your condition worse before you consciously realize you do want to do this work.

Companion of Life, son of my Father, brother, consider yourself fortunate in being able to receive this message. Consider yourself fortunate for finding out about the Light Principles. Place a value on what your Being has brought you, give value to the fact that you are already a candidate for liberation. Millions of other cells of our common Father are sunk in complete darkness, in ignorance and in unawareness. They are being led over and over to violate the Principles and the Laws of the Cosmos. Consider yourself fortunate and realize the value of belonging to the circle of candidates to return home, to return to our Father. Remember to be quiet, for when you talk you waste your strength. No one should find out that you are planning to escape from your jail and be free. Especially don't inform those that are extremely "happy," and don’t realize they are in jail. Bite your tongue a thousand times before you talk about this. The axiom of all Great Masters for the Liberation of men for all time is: You already know what is needed to know, but what you want depends on the work you are willing to do. If you carry through the work of the twelve Principles, you will come. Dare, be bold! If you do the twelve Principles, you will have the strength to act and do; and if you are quiet you will double your strength. Remember this; record it in your mind.

Those who are happy on our planet prison, those who are not conscious of the existence of our Creator, of the existence of a world of Light, of the existence of freedom, let them be as they are; they should not find out at all of your plans for this action. Don't talk about this work as you could close door of your jail for many millenniums. You must wait until they realize it and wake up. Only to those who are awake, those who are already preparing an escape plan, and those who are on the other side of the veil are the ones you can talk with concerning this work. They are in you; you can talk to them, ask them for advise, ask them for assistance, strength, and courage.

We are with you; we are yourself; we feel what you feel now. Do not permit your doubts to dominate you. It is better to experience your liberation from the circumstances and experiences of the world, even a dangerous liberation is better than a comfortable slavery. Be prudent, our Father is calling you back home through this message. The elder brothers need you; the world needs you; humanity needs you; society needs you, your family needs you, but not the way you are today, we are all needing you with free will, with a powerful will, with a clear and peaceful mind, with an awakened mind, with balanced emotions, with power and strength to do, with a healthy body that can bring you into the realization of all of this. What we need is done, and what you need is yourself.

My brother, the Cosmos is clamoring for us. The hour is now. The freedom bells are ringing for the next 2,000 years. This is your opportunity, you have free will and are able to see where to place your obedience, either to your free conscience or to your lower instincts. This is for your life. We have given you the message of the twelve Principles for your Liberation. If you do not do it today, you will have to do it some other day.

May the Whole, our Absolute Creator, bless you, care and keep you, give you strength, firmness and courage, and may the Light shine on your path. Thank you for your time. Thank you, my brother!
