Lesson 13: Evolution, Involution and Revolution

PENSUM

What should be taught

1. From the esoteric and scientific point of view — the two mechanical Laws of Nature: Evolution and Involution.
2. That Evolution does not lead to liberation and that it is a mechanical law twin of the law of Catalysis.
3. The necessity of the Revolution of Consciousness which is the only way to escape from mechanization through the application of the 3 factors: dying, being born again and sacrifice for humanity.

PRACTICE: ALL THE PRACTICES THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT

Evolution and Involution

(See “Christ Magic of the Aztecs”, chapter “Malkuth”) (See “The Solar Bodies”, chapter “Ascension and Devolution”) (See “The Mystery of the Golden Bloom”, chapter “Arcano 10”) (See “Basic Education”, chapter “Evolution, Evolution, Revolution”)

• Evolution means development, construction, progress, improvement, etc.
• Involution means regression, decline, destruction, degeneration, decline, etc.
• The Law of Opposites exists in every physical process:
  • day and night
  • light and dark
  • construction and destruction
  • increase and decrease
  • birth and death o There is evolution in the plant that germinates. It grows and grows. o There is a involution in the plant that ages and slowly declines until it becomes dry wood. o There is evolution in every organism that is conceived, born and developed. o There is a involution in every creature that ages and dies. o There is evolution in every planet that emerges from chaos. o There is a involution in every planet that is on a waning course and destined to become a moon. o There is evolution in every flourishing civilization. o There is involution in every declining civilization.
• These two laws (evolution and involution) constitute the basic mechanical axis of Nature.
  • If there were no one of these two laws the mechanisms of Nature would be paralyzed.
  • Therefore, it would be completely absurd to state that upward evolution is the only basis of the mechanism of Nature (the doctrine of evolution).

The Wheel of Samsara

(See “Yes, Yes, Yes”, chapter “Monads and Substances”) (See “Yes, Yes, Yes”, chapter “Perpetual Motion”) (See “The Mystery of the Golden Bloom”, chapter “The Reincarnation”) (See “Occult Medicine”, chapter “Elementary Evolution”)

• Every Monad (Being) that comes out of the Absolute sends its Essence to incarnate.
• Essence passes through various kingdoms of Nature until it reaches the human condition:
  • First it goes through the Mineral Kingdom.
  • Then the Plant Kingdom.
  • Then the Animal Kingdom.
  • Finally, it reaches the Human Realm.
• In every realm of Nature Essence vibrates with one note:
  • In the Mineral Kingdom it vibrates with the note DO.
  • In the Plant Kingdom it vibrates with the RE note.
  • In the Animal Kingdom it vibrates with the note MI.
  • In the Human Kingdom it vibrates with the note FA.

The Mineral Kingdom

• The first realm an Essence enters is the Mineral.
• The Elementals of the Mineral Kingdom are called Gnomes and Pygmies.
  • They look like dwarfs, with long beards and gray hair.
• They live in rocks and stones.
  • They live in the 4th dimension.
• They are trained and taught by Masters of Nature called Devas.
• As they slowly evolve, they receive higher and higher rocks or minerals as physical bodies until they are ready to pass into the Vegetable Kingdom
  • i.e. the most advanced mineral bodies are the precious and semi-precious stones (diamond, emerald, ruby, quartz, amethyst, etc.) and the noble metals (gold, silver, etc.)

The Plant Kingdom

(See “Occult Medicine”, chapter “Zodiac Plants”)

• The highly evolved Gnome-Pygmies eventually enter the Plant Kingdom.
• The Substances of the Plant Kingdom are called Elementals.
  • They are called in various traditions elves, fairies, salamanders, sylphs, goblins, etc.
• Their physical body is some kind of plant.
  • i.e. the grass, every tree, every bush, every herb is the physical body of an Elemental.
  • But the Elemental is not confined within its physical body, it has complete freedom to move outside of it (in the 4th dimension).
• Plant Elements are categorized into families according to their species.
  • i.e. there is the orange family, the mint family, the pine family, etc.
  • Each family has its Temple in the 4th dimension where its Elementals gather to receive teachings and training from the Devas.
• As they slowly evolve, they take on higher and higher plant bodies until they are ready to pass into the Animal Kingdom.

The Animal Kingdom

(See “The Perfect Marriage”, chapter “Totemism”) (See “Observing the Mystery”, chapter “The Nawals”)

• The highly evolved Elementals of the Plant Kingdom eventually enter the Animal Kingdom.
• The Essences of the Animal Kingdom are called Anima.
  • This indicates the “soul” and reminds us of the word “animal”.
• Their physical body is some animal.
• Anima are also categorized into families according to their species.
  • Each family has its Temple in the 4th dimension where its Souls gather to receive teachings and training from the Devas.
• As they slowly evolve, they take on higher and higher animal bodies until they are ready to pass into the Human Kingdom.

The Human Kingdom

• The highly evolved Souls of the Animal Kingdom finally enter the Human Kingdom.
• In the Human Kingdom they are called Essences.
• When an Essence enters the Human Realm it receives two things it did not have while in the lower realms:
  • Intellect
  • Free will
• Once the person gets these two, there is a chance to make mistakes and receive Karma.
• Each Essence is given 108 lives with a human physical body.
  • These 108 lives are symbolized by the 108 beads on the Buddha’s necklace.
  • They are also symbolized by the 108 circles the Brahmin moves around the sacred cow.
• If the Essence does not take advantage of these 108 opportunities to achieve Self-Realization of the Being, it ceases to take human physical bodies and goes into involution.
  • This means that not only perverts go to downward involution, but also all people who did not Self-Realize.
  • If one is too perverted he may go into downward evolution even before his 108 lives are completed.
  • Essences pass from one realm to another in “waves” (groups) and now almost all of the Essences are in the 108th life.
  • In case one is in the last life but is seriously working on the inner work, the Law may grant him another body to continue his work.

Involution

(See “The Solar Bodies,” chapter “The Submerged Mineral Kingdom”)

• In the involution the Essence, trapped in the ‘I’, makes a reverse course towards the mineral kingdom.
  • First it returns to the animal kingdom.
  • Then to the plant kingdom.
  • Finally, it reaches the submerged mineral kingdom.
  • Because the Wheel of Samsara has now ceased to turn, the Essences go directly to the submerged mineral kingdom, without passing through the animal and vegetable.
• Sometimes certain ‘I’s of a man may incarnate in animal bodies, or go into the submerged mineral kingdom.
• The submerged mineral realm is the Hell referred to in various religions and traditions.
  • There, through terrible suffering, the ‘I’ slowly dissolves.
  • This is the Second Death.
  • In ordinary people this process takes 800 to 1000 years.
  • After the ‘I’ dissolves, the Essence, once again pure, re-enters the ascending mineral realm transformed into Gnomes to begin a new cycle.

The Stopping of the Wheel

• Now the Wheel of Samsara has stopped turning.
  • This means that it is no longer possible for an Essence to pass from one realm to another.
  • i.e. a Substance cannot pass from the Vegetable to the Animal kingdom.
  • Thus Essences in involution cannot go from the human kingdom to the animal kingdom. They go directly to the submerged mineral kingdom.
• This is a phenomenon that happens at the end of every Race.
• The fact that there is no more movement on the Wheel makes people feel that they are not going anywhere, that life has no meaning.
  • This gives extra help and an extra push to those who want to do inner work.

The Rotations of the Wheel

(See “Yes, Yes, Yes”, chapter “The Snail of Existence”)

• Each time an Essence passes through the Second Death, it begins a new cycle in a higher octave.
  • This means that with each cycle it gains more Consciousness.
  • i.e. a Gnome in its thousandth circle has a much higher level of Consciousness than a Gnome in its hundredth.
• The Wheel of Samsara can spin up to 3,000 times for each Monad (Being).
  • If a Monad does not achieve its Self-Realization in its corresponding 3,000 cycles, it returns to the Absolute without having achieved Mastery.
  • These Monads are blissful in the Absolute and are conscious of their bliss.
  • This consciousness they acquired during their journey through the 3,000 cycles on the Wheel of Samsara.
  • But they have failed to attain Mastery: they see the Self-realized Monads as an ant sees a man.
• Not all Monads want Self-Realization.
  • If a Monad wants to realize itself, it puts in its Essence internal concerns.
  • There are Monads who want self-realization very much and work intensely on their Essence intensely.
  • There are Monads who work on their Essence from time to time and progress more gradually on the inner path.
  • There are Monads that are not interested in self-realization and do not put inner concerns and drives into their Essence.
• There are two ways to free one from the Wheel of Samsara.
  • To make the Revolution of Consciousness and be liberated as a Self-Realized Master.
  • To abandon the manifestation and return the Absolute as a single Spark (no Mastery).
• To leave the incarnation before the end of 3,000 cycles one must:
  • As long as he lives to work on the dissolution of the “I” and the awakening of Consciousness.
  • After death, may he remain calm in the face of all the trials that his Being and his Divine Mother will put on him so that he does not return to a new body.
  • If he succeeds he will “incarnate” in the higher worlds, where he will continue to work on the dissolution of the “ego” with the help of his Divine Mother, until he finally returns to the Absolute.

Revolution

(See “The Science of Music”, chapter “Nature”) (See “The Science of Music”, chapter “The Revolution of Consciousness”) (See “The Buddha’s Necklace”, chapter “The Buddha’s Necklace”) (See “The Solar Bodies”, chapter “The Revolution of Consciousness”) (See “Basic Education”, chapter “Evolution, Evolution, Revolution”)

• If we want to free ourselves from the Wheel of Samsara we must enter the Path of the Revolution of Consciousness.
  • Upward and downward evolution constitute the mechanics of Nature.
  • The mechanical laws of evolution and involution do not lead anyone to Self-realization. It is not true that all Essences will someday reach Self-Realization through evolution.
  • Evolution always leads to the submerged mineral kingdom and the Second Death.
  • Self-realization is achieved by rebelling against upward and downward evolution.
• Revolution is not a law of Nature. The Revolution of Consciousness is for the very few, since it is of no interest to most. The vast majority of humanity always follows the Lunar Path (see above: “The Turning of the Wheel”) In fact it is normal for man to be swallowed up by the submerged mineral kingdom and pass through the Second Death. It is very rare for one to make the Revolution and escape the Wheel.
  • “For many are invited, but few are chosen” - Matthew 22:14
  • “For narrow is the gate and hard is the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” - According to Matthew 7:14
  • “Strive to enter in through the narrow gate; for, I say to you, many will seek to enter in and will not be able.” - Luke 13:24
  • “Of a thousand that seek me one finds me, of a thousand that find me one follows me, of a thousand that follow me one is mine.” - Krina, Bhagavad Gita
  • “Few among men cross over to the other side. The rest only come and go on this side of the river.” - Buddha, Dhammapada
• In fact the Revolution of Consciousness is against the interests of Nature. The people who go to the downward evolution nourish the submerged mineral kingdom and give it stability. If we removed them from the submerged mineral kingdom, the mineral part of the Earth would become elastic and soft. That is why the Revolution of Consciousness is only for individuals and not for large masses.

The Solar Path

• The Revolution of Consciousness is the Path of the Razor’s Edge. It is called so because of the balance that the one who walks it must have.
• Through the Revolution of Consciousness we give the note SOL (Sun in Latin) so that we become Solar People. The Moon represents Nature while the Sun represents Spirit. “Man” is actually an “intellectual animal”. Through Revolution one leaves the Wheel of Samsara transformed into a real Man. A Real Man is one who has embodied his Human Soul.

The 3 Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness

(See “The Solar Bodies”, chapter “The Protoplasmic Bodies”)

• The Revolution of Consciousness takes place only on the basis of conscious efforts and willful suffering.
  • “The kingdom of heaven is being snatched away, and the robbers seize it” - John 11:12
• To make the revolution of Consciousness we must practice the 3 Factors: death, birth, sacrifice. “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself (death), take up his cross daily (alchemy) and follow me (sacrifice).” - According to Luke 9:23
• Death We must eliminate from ourselves the elements that belong to Nature: o the “I” o The protoplasmic bodies
• Birth Ordinary humans have protoplasmic bodies: supersensible vehicles created and developed in our course through the various kingdoms of Nature. The protoplasmic bodies belong to the Wheel of Samsara and are subject to the laws of upward and downward evolution. We must work in the science of Alchemy to create the Solar Bodies. The Solar Bodies are immortal: they do not belong to Nature and the Wheel of Samsara.
• Sacrifice We must exchange selfishness for Christ-Centeredness. He who is concerned only with his personal perfection, forgetting others, falls into egoism. Sacrifice gives us the values and drive we need to move forward on the inner path. He who does not give, has no right to receive.
• The majority of people, since they follow the Lunar Path, abhor the Solar ideas of the 3 Factors: Death: they love their ego and enjoy satisfying it. Birth: enjoy using their energies for animal pleasure. Sacrifice: their interest is limited to themselves and those directly related to them (family, friends, etc.)

Practice: Runes TIR-BAR

• At the end of this course we recommend that the TIR-BAR Runes be taught.
• Rune TIR: represents Being (the inner Sun). It is associated with the element of Fire and the constellation of Aries.
• Rune BAR: represents man (the Earth or physical body). It is associated with the element of Water and the constellation of Pisces.
• These two Runes are always made together, so as to unite the Sun with the Earth, that is, Being with man.
• Purpose of this exercise: To awaken the Consciousness. To mix within ourselves the magical powers of these Runes. To accumulate high voltage solar atoms.

Recommended Practice with GATE Mantra

• At the end of the lesson we will do the TIR-BAR Runes and a guided practice:
• First we all do the TIR-BAR Runes together 7 times.
• Then we will sit for a meditation practice.
  • We first take a few deep breaths, relax, clear the mind, etc.
  • We center in the heart and ask our Being and the Divine Mother to help us in this practice.
  • Then we visualize ourselves in a boat, sailing on the lake of existence, passing beyond all things of Samsara, going to the “beyond shore” of Light and Liberation.
  • We all do the “GATE” mantra together several times.
  • We remain for a while in silence and peace.
  • The practice will last about 20 minutes (without the Runes).

Second Chamber Information

Just for our own understanding, not to share it with the First Chamber.

The Origin of Man

(See “Christ Magic of the Aztecs”, chapter “Malkuth”) (See “Revolution of Dialectic”, chapter “Material Science”)

Natural selection

• In the struggle for survival the strongest and fittest wins and transmits its characteristics to its offspring.
  • But this does not mean a change of form, nor the birth of a new species.
• The theory that states that new species are created through natural selection and that man came from natural selection is wrong.
  • Natural selection works, but it cannot create new species.
  • No one has ever observed the birth of a new species through natural selection.
  • This has not been proven or confirmed in any way.

The Descent of the Apes

• The materialist theory that states that man came from the ape is wrong.
  • Darwin did not say that man came from the ape.
  • He simply said that man and ape have a common ancestor.
• If we compare the most “evolved” monkey with the most uncivilized man (i.e. one of the wild tribes of Australia) we will see that the monkey does not even have the ability to speak.
  • The so-called “missing link” has not been found because it does not exist.
• In Lemuria humans began to degenerate sexually, and some of them sexually interbred with animals (15-25 million years ago).
  • The result was various species of humanoids which in turn continued to interbreed with other animals.
  • The present humanity of intelligent animals is the result of these interbreedings.
• The higher ape species originate from Lemuria:
  • Gorilla
  • Orangutan
  • Chimpanzee
• The lower ape species originate from Atlantis.
• This means that the ape actually came from the human, and not the other way around.

The Human

• A man comes from the higher dimensions of Nature.
• Through successive crystallizations it appeared on the physical plane.
  • The Essences first passed through the 6th dimension through the mineral realm.
  • They then passed through the 5th dimension through the plant kingdom.
  • They then passed through the 4th dimension through the animal kingdom.
  • When the period of activity for this three-dimensional world began, through transformations the human form crystallized.
• If we want to discover the origin of man we must observe ontogenesis.
  • Ontogenesis is the recapitulation of the process of creation of man.
  • The fetus, as it develops in the womb, recapitulates the evolution of the human race.
  • (1) The embryo, as a particle, is initially inorganic (recapitulation of the mineral state).
  • (2) It then passes into a vegetative state. Its development depends on the umbilical cord.
  • (3) Then it goes into the animal state and looks like a tadpole.
  • (4) Then it finally assumes human form.
  • At no stage does the embryo resemble an ape, which means that man cannot have descended from the ape.

The 7 Cosmic Rounds

(See “The Revolution of the Bell”)

Tribes and Subtribes

(See “Mysteries of the Maya”, chapter “The Root Tribes”) (See “Christ Magic of the Aztecs”, chapter “Malkuth”) (See “The Secret Cult of Anawak”, chapter “Aztlan”)

• All these Tribes and Sub-Tribes belong to the 4th Round: the Earth round.

The 1st Root Tribe: Polar

• The first Race came from the higher dimensions, complete and perfect.
• They lived on the Sacred Island which was located at the North Pole.
  • The North Pole was then on the equator.
  • This island still exists in the 4th dimension.
• Characteristics:
  • Half-physical and half-ethereal.
  • Gigantic and black in color.
  • They had indestructible, elastic bodies.
  • They could shrink in size and take on the size of today’s humans.
  • Each person had their Beings embodied. They were terribly divine beings, beyond good and evil.
• Culture:
  • They were very civilized.
  • There was no brutality.
  • They had wonderful temples and buildings and great wisdom.
• Sexuality
  • It was an androgynous race, asexual.
  • Reproduction was by mitosis: the father-mother was divided into two.
  • Cell reproduction originates from that time.
• The Aztecs say they were “devoured by the tigers of wisdom.”
  • Each person was a Master of wisdom.

The 2nd Root Race: Hyperboria

• Sexuality:
  • They reproduced through vegetation, like plants.
• They were wiped out by strong storms.

The 3rd Root Race: Lemurians

• They were on the “My” continent, where the Pacific Ocean now is.
• Culture:
  • In the beginning of Lemuria, there was almost no difference between humans and animals.
  • But after 150,000 years of evolution, the Lemurians reached a very high level of civilization, far superior to ours.
  • i.e. They had flying ships powered by atomic energy.
  • i.e. Their lighting systems were powered by nuclear energy.
  • They wore symbolic tunics, which were white at the front and black at the back.
• Sexuality:
  • They were hermaphrodite.
  • They reproduced with eggs.
  • In their 3rd subrace people began to appear with one sexual organ more developed than the other.
  • So gradually the sexes separated.
  • Sexual union was then necessary for reproduction.
• They were destroyed by volcanoes and earthquakes.

The 4th Root Race: Atlantis

• They were on a continent that was where the Atlantic Ocean is now.
• They were 3 meters tall.
• At that time the Earth was surrounded by a thick fog, and people breathed through gills.
• Culture:
  • The Atlanteans reached a very high level of civilization, similar to that of the Lemurians.
  • i.e. They too had flying ships powered by atomic energy.
• Sexuality:
  • In the beginning, sexual union was done only for the purpose of creating bodies for the souls that were to incarnate.
  • The Angels chose the day and time of conception, and the birth was painless.
  • But the Lucifers (the black magicians of the Lunar Period) tempted people and caused them to fall.
• They were destroyed by great floods.
  • The native tribes of America, the Eskimos, the primitive Chinese and Egyptians were descendants of the 4th Race.

The 7 Subtribes

• Each Tribe has 7 Subtribes.
• The 7 Subtribes of the 5th race (Aryan) are:
  1. Tibet
  2. Indo-China
  3. Egypt-Mesopotamia
  4. Greco-Romans
  5. Anglo-Saxons
  6. Latin America
  7. United States

The 4 Seasons

• Each Race goes through 4 Seasons:
  • Golden Age (Spring) — Satya Yuga
  • Silver Age (Summer) — Third Yuga
  • Bronze Age (Autumn) — Dvapara Yuga
  • Iron Age (Winter) — Kali Yuga
• In ancient Greece the Aryan Race entered the Iron Age (Kali Yuga).

The 3 Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness

• Death

  • Natural
  • Mental
  • Emotions

• Birth

  • Radical Changes
  • Development of the Golden Embryo
  • Creation of the Superior Bodies

• Sacrifice:

  • Egoism
  • Appetites
  • For humanity

The 3rd Factor

• There are 3 types of sacrifice:

  • Tamasic: is a sacrifice done unconsciously, without love, against the Law.
  • Rajashik: done by desiring some physical or spiritual reward.
  • Sattvic: done consciously, without desire for reward. Sattvic sacrifice is the 3rd Factor.

• The difference between Sacrifice and Service:

  • Service is when we offer to someone.
  • Sacrifice is when what we offer costs us.
