Intuition
You must understand this. Instead of searching for inferior siddhis or inferior powers as we said, it is better to give form to the psyche.
There is a transcendental power that is born within any human being that truly has worked upon himself. I want in an emphatic form to refer to Intuition, and I mention this so that you will stop coveting powers. But what is this faculty? It has been said to us that this faculty is related to the pineal gland; I do not deny this. But what is important is to explain what its functions are.
How are we going to define Intuition? It is a direct perception of the truth without the depressing process of options. Well, this is a good definition, but I’ve found it very incipient. This definition is used by all of the little pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult schools which are around. Analysis invites us to go much deeper in this matter.
What is Intuition? It is the faculty of interpenetration. Possibly Hegel with his dialectic tried to define it based on the Chinese philosophy of the yellow race.
A Chinese Empress did not understand this matter of Intuition very well. A wise man explained unto her that it was the faculty of interpenetration. This definition is correct, yet she did not understand. Then the wise man brought her a lit candle and placed it in the center of the hall, and around it he placed ten mirrors as well. It is clear that the flame of that candle was reflected in one mirror; this flame was in turn projecting a flame onto another mirror, and this other mirror was projecting it onto another, and this one to another. Thus they noticed that these ten mirrors were mutually projecting the light one to another. A marvelous play of lights was formed, a play with interpenetration. Then the Empress understood. Behold the faculty of Intuition.
If somebody has achieved the Buddhist Annihilation, if somebody has achieved the construction of the superior existential bodies of the Being, if he is really a true human being in the most transcendental sense of the word, then the faculty of interpenetration will be a fact within him.
Let us take into account that one is contained within the cosmos. I said that one is part of the whole. Much exists within the microcosmic human, nevertheless the totality of oneself is nothing but one part of the whole.
We already know for example, that within the Ayocosmos, meaning the Infinite, the Macrocosmos is contained. Within the Macrocosmos, the Milky Way, the Deuterocosmos, the solar system is contained. Within the Deuterocosmos, the cosmic sun is contained, and within this cosmic sun, the cosmos Earth, the Mesocosmos, is contained. Likewise within the Mesocosmos is the Microcosmos human contained, and within the Microcosmos human is contained the life of the infinitely small, the Tritocosmos.
Within one cosmos, there is another cosmos, and within this cosmos, there is another one, and in totality we have seven cosmos, and these are contained one within another. Therefore, within ourselves there is an inferior cosmos (it is clear that it is the Tritocosmos) and a superior cosmos (and it is now clear that it is the Mesocosmos). We are between a superior cosmos and an inferior cosmos. We are also very related with our parents since they originated us; likewise from ourselves, our children and grandchildren come. All of us are interpenetrating each other mutually. Thus, Interpenetration is a law, perfectly defined by Hegel’s dialectic, with his famous “Concretes” that I have already explained.
Undoubtedly, my dear friends, existence in any way, that is to say, its birth, its development, its death, remains reflecting itself as well within the true human being that has attained the Buddhist Annihilation. Therefore this human can say, “I know the history of this planet.” The whole Mahamanvantara can reflect itself in the fingernail of an authentic human being and it would be reflected with such exactitude that this Buddha would not ignore anything.
Everything that could happen within an entire nation could reflect itself in the psyche of a human being that has passed through the Buddhist Annihilation: it would reflect itself with such exactitude, with such precision, with such detail, that this one would not ignore even the most insignificant event.
Therefore deduce for yourselves and infer into what I have said about what Intuition is: the faculty of interpenetration.
If we achieve the reflection of the history of this galaxy within ourselves, can we ignore something related with it? Of course not. The galaxy with all of its processes can be reflected within our psyche so naturally, my dear brothers and sisters, just as the candle in the example that I gave you, related with the ten mirrors that served to illustrate the story of the Empress.
If all circumstances can be reflected upon within the psyche of a Buddha of Contemplation, because this one no longer has any inhuman psychic aggregates to disintegrate, then this one achieves, as a fact, through the means of Intuition, what we would define as consciousness.
To attain Illumination is possible, but do not forget, my dear friends, that Illumination has its laws. The reason for Illumination is the Dharmadatu, in other words: Dharma.
If one has sacrificed oneself for the worlds, if one has truly created his superior existential bodies, if one has truly dissolved the ego, one deserves, of course, one receives a reward, a payment… because only in the region of dharma-dhatu is the interior profound enlightenment possible. So, since the vital thing is that one day you will reach enlightenment, you must start, from now on, by organizing your psyche; that’s obvious.
We need that through our works and through enlightenment so one day we can take the great leap and fall into the illuminating void.
Distinguish between the mechanics of relativity and the illuminating void. What is important for us is to escape from this world of relativity, from this world of causes and effects, from this world where pain reigns…
And it is only possible to achieve the great leap to fall into the illuminating void, if one disintegrates the ego, if one reduces it to ashes, if one turns it into cosmic dust; if one organizes his/her psyche, if one shape his/her psyche; only in this way one can achieve it.
The illuminating void is our highest aspiration, it is the great reality, life free in its movement, beyond the body, the affections and the mind. Unquestionably, the illuminating void is the supreme, the truth, the life, it is what it is, what has always been, and what will always be…
If we say that it is the supreme, we must understand that word: “supreme” (from “supremus” in latin). supreme is the “unconditioned” that which escapes the mechanics of relativity, that which is not of time, that which transcends the five ordinary senses, the unconditioned.
But there is another meaning of the supremus: the finished, the consummated. In its first meaning, supremus is “originarium” (“the original”); in its second meaning as “consummatum”, it is “the finished”, “the perfect” and “the concluded.” This is why Jesus said, “consummatum est” (everything has been consummated)… “The most perfect,” the human who has already reached the state of dharmakaya, the true enlightened one, the one who achieved enlightenment, the one who could integrate with the “originarium”, the true blessed or liberated … these are the two meanings of supremus.
We long to reach that state of absolute radical illumination within the illuminating void, but in order to achieve this, my dear friends, we must start by organizing our own psyche; for this we need to live intelligently, wisely; otherwise it would not be possible.
That concludes my lecture tonight.
